One Of Them
Rasta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I"m one of them who believe in the shine of stars.
I know that knowledge we have is not ours.
Breath of eternity lies not behind of us.
Now we are ready to feel the great power.

I realize how the words of the universe
Had been distorted with a man understanding.
Thoughts of the sun fills my head and I know whoā€™s first
Manā€™s equal god thousands years ago landing.

Call me and I rush my way falling lightning voice,
Turn me away from the rules we are under,
Show me the way I must go. But I have no choice,
Let me touch truth with the star storm expanding.

Rage obey me and I bring my soul into
the flame ablaze me. Terminate My strength are growing.




I reject my knowledge, I retreat my future,
Declarate new freedom with the reign of hope.

Overall Meaning

In Rasta's song "One of Them," he discusses his perspective on social media and the people who use it. He begins by stating that a woman is all over his Facebook account, but he doesn't care for the platform because he's not basic like some people who use it. He points out that social media can be dangerous and cause one's downfall. Rasta highlights the issue of people changing their behavior online and being fake in real life. He suggests that people should focus on their real-life behavior rather than their online persona.


The second verse of the song speaks more about Rasta's personal experiences and his perception of the rap industry. Rasta mentions that he doesn't play games, and when someone messes with him, he deals with it in his way. He expresses that he's proud of where he comes from and the sound he creates. Rasta also talks about his haters and their criticism, stating that they're only loud and not significant. He highlights his survival story after wrecking his car and how he handles stressful situations. The chorus repeats twice, emphasizing Rasta's stance on not being one of those "basic" people who solely rely on social media for communication and validation.


One interesting fact about the song is that it's a part of the album "Indigo Child" by rapper Raury, who hails from Atlanta. "Indigo Child" is a mixtape that explores various genres and themes, including songs that speak about his mother's deportation, criticism of US politics, and self-discovery. Raury and Rasta collaborated on "One of Them," which showcased Rasta's unique flow and lyricism.


Another interesting fact about the song is that it was featured in the Netflix series "Dear White People." The series is created by Justin Simien and explores the lives of African American students in a predominantly white Ivy League institution. The series tackles issues such as racism, classism, identity, and politics. Rasta's song plays in episode 6 of the third season, where the characters deal with backlash from using social media to voice their opinions.


The song's lyrics echo Rasta's values and attitudes towards social media and its impact on human behavior. It's interesting how Rasta points out that people's behavior online is different from their real-life personality. Social media creates a false sense of identity and validation. The song is critical of people who solely rely on social media to feel relevant and accepted.


The chords for "One of Them" are unavailable at the moment, as the song is mainly based on the beat and the flow of lyrics.
