Celebrating Bob's life and music on the anniversary of his 67th Birthday...
Bob ascended from the anonymous poverty of Trenchtown, Jamaica to be a powerful voice of the voiceless! Bob's lyrics not only the power of unity and love but also the need for equal rights and justice for all people...
"I'm a living man, I've got work to do" -Bob Marley

You just don't want to hate or kill someone when you are singing, "one love, one heart, let's get together and feel alright"!
A personal favorite of mine, nothing breaks it down so hard and yet so irie as 'Babylon System'. Break it down, Bob!
BABYLON SYSTEM
We refuse to be
What you wanted us to be;
We are what we are:
That's the way (way) it's going to be. You don't know!
You can't educate I
For no equal opportunity:
(Talkin' 'bout my freedom) Talkin' 'bout my freedom,
People freedom (freedom) and liberty!
Yeah, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long:
Rebel, rebel!
Yes, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long:
Rebel, rebel!
Babylon system is the vampire, yea! (vampire) Suckin' the children day by day, yeah! Me say: de Babylon system is the vampire, falling empire, Suckin' the blood of the sufferers, yea-ea-ea-ea-e-ah! Building church and university, wo-o-ooh, yeah! - Deceiving the people continually, yea-ea! Me say them graduatin' thieves and murderers; Look out now: they suckin' the blood of the sufferers (sufferers). Tell the children the truth; Tell the children the truth; Tell the children the truth right now! Come on and tell the children the truth; Tell the children the truth; Tell the children the truth; Tell the children the truth; Come on and tell the children the truth.
