It was appropriately dubbed the album of the twentieth century. When you listen to the lyrics of the legend’s songs, you cannot help but notice that Bob had exceptional vision – beyond 20/20. He was truly a visionary!
“Many people will fight you down, when you see Jah light. Let me tell you if you’re not wrong, well everything is alright.” It’s true of any revolution. There is always bitter opposition. The important thing, as Marley put it, is to know you’re right. If you’re not wrong, all that will matter is reaching your goal.
“Open your eyes...and look within, are you satisfied with the life you’re living? We know where we’re going; we know where we’re from. We’re leaving Babylon yah; we’re going to our Father’s land...in this Exodus! Movement of Jah people! Everybody move! Everybody move now!”
Only Jah people can understand His message. The Exodus was not for the Israelites alone. Search the record and you shall find, Nubians, Egyptians and whoever else saw the light, joined the ‘Exodus’. Are you coming along, friend?
“Set the captives free! Set the captives free!”
“I don't have prejudice against me self. My father was a white and my mother was black. Them call me half-caste or whatever. Me don't dip on nobody's side. Me don't dip on the black man's side nor the white man's side. Me dip on God's side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.”-- Robert Nesta Marley
