BOB MARLEY
You peeps eva heard of Bob? Anyway this dude here is respect man. To me he embodies what I would call passion for music. And his life was music and sticking it to the man. Anyway read some of his lyrics.. This song was written when he was diagnosed for cancer but refused to amputate his leg for performance purposes. Its the Redemption Song. He wrote many other songs and each albums has its meaning, esp in a place like Africa which has many politics, you could say he united his ppl. Well he wrote dont worry be happy and many others. So if you peeps can just go buy his album and stuff. Dont download. Nvm ha. Anyway his dead.
REDEMPTION SONG
Old pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I from the
Bottom less pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation triumphantly
All I ever had is songs of freedom
Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had redemption songs, redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs, redemption songs, redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Yes some say it's just part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
All I ever had, redemption songs
These songs of freedom, songs of freedom
