These lyrics are wrong. The lyrics are Reggae and will likely be in Jamaican Patois -- so your closest projection to common English is guaranteed to be full of errors. We would need someone who actually speaks this language to really understand the meaning, many of the phrases are likely idiomatic.
Not knowing any of Jamaican Patois, ( not even really understanding the words enough to translate them into text ) this is the best I can do:
Jamaican has English, Spanish, and west African influences. U
"Alta vada" is a spicy spanish dish served at funerals to make people cry more. The lyrics "rain (come/came) (fisted/thirsty) and bright, it must be alta vada, (tell 'em again / alta vada tras)" Could be idiomatic for "I started to cry a lot, ( as if / let us pretend that it is because ) I ate very spicy food"
I can't find the word "quasimana" outside of the use in this song but let us accept that "quasi" means "almost". Mana, a verb, depending on which Spanish dialect, could be "to order" or "to gush forth". Stepping back to the latin we have the related meanings "give out" "pour forth" "extend oneself" "leak out" "flow"
so, we maybe quasimana means something like "almost break down" or "almost break down in tears", "almost lose it".
so.
">quasimana, rain (came/come) (thirsty/fisted) and bright, it must be alta vada"
might be something like
"someone almost looses it, cries a lot, ( so much as if eaten spicy food )."
I can't discern the meaning of "Rivanna" other than it's the name of a small river in Virginia -- I do not know if its referring to this river, another river of the same name, a river in general, but some body of water is likely. Possibly save to translate as "river"
so....
when I met some boy while I was across the river, (I/he?) almost broke down -- there were tears ( it must be spicy food, we say, jokingly knowing that it is not ).
Are these tears of joy? or sorrow on departure? I'm not sure. No other context unless there is more of these lyrics in another song or context from the album.
The first couple lines are something like: The world is in trouble, when Buju Banton (the singer) comes, batty boy (homosexual men) get up and run. He then proceeds to describe how he will shoot all men that sleep with other men.
I love all them comments in that video. I know they are homophobic but they use such a colorful singsongy dialect to describe how they want to kill the gays. The American south could learn a thing or two from this.
But what can be more manly than fucking another man? You cis-hetero scum can enjoy your dainty soft ladies with their emotions. I'll be enjoying myself over at /r/MGTOWWOM
I'm reminded of that time Varg "Christian" Vikernes of Burzum got sentenced for 21 years for being spurned by and murdering Mayhem's lead guitarist Euronimus. Tbh he made his best work in prison.
I especially liked the part at 3:20 where Euronimus (who just came from the street to kill Varg remember), when he was dead he "broke the lamp on the wall so he was swimming in glass fragments, and with only his underwear, so it was rather bloody".
tbh I was half-joking about this shit because I vaguely remembered rumors but never looked into it myself, but I guess since it comes from the horse's mouth, lol.
And a lot of their stances on the subjects they claim to be experts on are actually minority held stances. That is to say, no serious historian would agree with most of what bad history says.

when people think of the genre they think of weed smoking hippes. They don't realise that there is some violently homophobic reggae.

yep yep yep
Reggae is that kind of music for people who dont need to brag about being manly cause they know they already are
n/a Eitdgwlgo 2017-04-11
Rastafarians is a PoC religion so calling them homophobic is racist.
n/a niexx 2017-04-11
Reggae itself seems to be mostly about peace, love and vegetarianism. It's the dancehall subgenre which is preoccupied with murdering gays and police informers. Not all of it though. Some of it is about cutting you out of my weekend plans because you didn't return the CDs I lent you

This shit reminds me of the... creative... lyrics lily-white drum'n'bass fans invented for a Dancehall sample on a Pendulum album:
They actually fucking uploaded this to lyric websites. If you search now half the sites say that these are the actual lyrics. "Quasimana."
(It's actually "Well I met some boy while crossing the border, 'cross the border / Rank and thirsty and blind, you must be out of order")

Only early Ministry is heterosexual, they turned gay after their first album.

He stabbed him in the back 20 times, in self-defense you know.
n/a Wraith_GraveSpell 2017-04-11
Nonono, those 20 stab wounds were from 5 inch glass fragments.

Sorry you fucking no taste pleb but the early Burzum albums are way better than the eurotrash bullshit he made in prison.

rainbows weren't considered a gay symbol in the 70's. I bet baby boomers are still bitter about that too.

Arguments about metal used to be about whether it caused listeners to become satanic or not.
Now it's about whether listeners are heterosexual or not. Fuck my generation.

Metal just helps bring out the Satan in us all :)

Metal imagery was "invented" by one gay guy with BDSM tendencies. Ergo it's not gay at all.

TIL Ozzy is gay with BDSM tendencies.
