Bob Marley - War

Video

War Lyric




Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another Inferior Is finally And permanently
Discredited And abandoned Everywhere is war
Me say war.

That until there no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
Me say war.

That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all, Without regard to race
Dis a war.

That until that day The dream of lasting peace,
World citizenship Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never attained Now everywhere is war war.

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
that hold our brothers in Angola,
In Mozambique, South Africa Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled,Utterly destroyed Well, everywhere is war
Me say war.

War in the east, War in the west,
War up north, War down south
War war Rumours of war.
And until that day,
The African continent will not know peace,
We Africans will fight We find it necessary
And we know we shall win As we are confident
In the victory

Of good over evil Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil Good over evil, yeah!

Song Note : "In the liner notes of Africa Unite: The Singles Collection, Island Records boss Chris Blackwell wrote: 'Is This Love is a great song and I was always very happy with Kaya, the album it came from. It had a very summery, carefree feel. When the album came out, several reviewers said he'd gone soft. But Bob was feeling great at that time and those songs reflected how he was feeling'. "

Bob Marley - Buffalo Soldier

Buffalo Soldier Lyric


Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta.
There was a buffalo soldier in the heart of america,
Stolen from africa, brought to america,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
I mean it, when I analyze the stench
To me it makes a lot of sense. How the dreadlock rasta
was the buffalo soldier,And he was taken from africa,
brought to america,Fighting on arrival,
fighting for survival. Said he was a buffalo soldier,
dreadlock rasta, Buffalo soldier in the heart of america
If you know your history,Then you would know where you coming from
Then you wouldnt have to ask me,Who the eck do I think I am
I'm just a buffalo soldier in the heart of america,
Stolen from africa, brought to america,
Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Said he was a buffalo soldier win the war for america
Dreadie, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,Woy yoy yoy yoy!
Buffalo soldier troddin through the land, wo-ho-ooh!
Said he wanna ran, then you wanna hand,Troddin through the land,
yea-hea, yea-ea.Said he was a buffalo soldier win the war for america
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta, Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Driven from the mainland to the heart of the caribbean.Singing,
woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,Woy yoy yoy yoy,
yoy yoy-yoy yoy!Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy!
Troddin through san juan in the arms of america,
Troddin through jamaica, a buffalo soldier, Fighting on arrival
fighting for survival, Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy!

Song Note : "The Buffalo Soldiers were a segregated regiment of black cavalry fighters during the American campaign to rid the West of "Indians" so that "civilized" white people could gain the lands used by Native Americans. Ironically, many of the soldiers were slaves taken from Africa. Bob Marley gives a small history lesson as a protest song about the black man's role in building the country that continues to oppress him."

Bob Marley - Redemption Song

Rare Acoustic Live

Redemption Song Lyric


Old pirates, yes, they rob I. Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I from the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong by the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation Triumphantly
Won't you help to sing These songs of freedom?
Cause all I ever have, 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?
ooh!Some say its just a part of it. We've got to fulfil de book
Won't you help to sing These songs of freedom?
cause all I ever have, Redemption songs, Redemption songs, Redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, None but ourselves can free
our mind.Wo! have no fear for atomic energy,cause none of them-a
can-a stop-a the time. How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Yes, some say its just a part of it
We've got to fulfil de 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

Song Note : "Marley completed this album (his last) in the summer of 1980. He was suffering from the cancer that would eventually kill him at age 36, but was very productive in his later years. He refused traditional medicine because of his Rastafarian beliefs and chose to make music and perform as long as he could."

"This Song was Marley's last single before his death on May 11, 1981. It sums up his life and what he stood for in his songs: freedom and redemption. Marley was a very spiritual singer who gave hope to the downtrodden in his native Jamaica, and whose message spread to the United States and around the world when he became a star."

"This was the last song Marley performed. He sang it from a stool at a show in Pittsburgh on September 23, 1980."

Bob Marley - Could You be Loved

Bob Marley and The Wailers

Could You Be Loved Lyric


Could you be loved... and be loved...
Could you be loved... and be loved...
Don't let them fool ya, Or even try to school ya!
Oh, no! We've got a mind of our own,
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right!
Love would never leave us alone,
Against the darkness there must come out the light
Could you be loved... and be loved...Could you be loved...
wo yeah... and be loved...
The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too,
So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you
Love your brotherman! Could you be, could you be,
could you be loved? Could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be loved?
Don't let them change ya, oh! -Or even rearrange ya!
Oh, no! We've got a life to live. ooh, ooh, ooh
They say only only only the fittest of the fittest shall survive
Stay alive! Eh! Could you be loved... and be loved...
Could you be loved... wo now... and be loved...
You ain't gonna miss your water, until your well runs dry
No matter how you treat him, he’ll never be satisfied
Say something! Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be loved? Say something! Say something!
Could you be - could you be - could you be loved? Say something!
Could you be - could you be loved? Saysomething! Say something!
Say something! Say something! Say something!
Could you be loved? Say something! Say something!
Reggae, reggae!Say something! Rasta, rasta! Say something!
Reggae, reggae!Say something! Rasta, rasta! Say something!
Could you be loved? Say something! Uh!

Song Note : "Marley wanted to break into the American market ahead of a big tour in The States. He figured that his Reggae music would not be easily accepted among mainstream black audiences, so he wrote this with a faster (almost Disco) beat. The song was a hit and so was the tour."

Bob Marley - I Shot The Sherriff

Live Concert

I Shot The Sherriff Lyric


I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no! oh!
I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot no deputy, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh
Yeah! all around in my home town, They're tryin to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty for the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy. But I say Oh, now, now. oh! I shot the sheriff
but I swear it was in selfdefence. Oh, no! ooh, ooh, oo-oh yeah!
I say I shot the sheriff - oh, lord! and they say it is a capital offence
Yeah! ooh, ooh, oo-oh yeah! Sheriff john brown always hated me,
For what, I dont know. Every time I plant a seed,
He said kill it before it grow. He said kill them before they grow.
And so, Read it in the news, I shot the sheriff. oh, lord!
but I swear it was inself-defence. Where was the deputy?
oo-oo-oh I say I shot the sheriff, But I swear it was in selfdefence
oo-oh yeah! Freedom came my way one day And I started out of town,
yeah! All of a sudden I saw sheriff john brown aiming to shoot me down,
So I shot I shot I shot him down and I say If I am guilty I will pay
I shot the sheriff, But I say, but I didn't shoot no deputy,
I didn't shoot no deputy oh, no-oh, oh no! I shot the sheriff
I did! But I didn't shoot no deputy
oh! oo-oo-ooh Reflexes had got the better of me
And what is to be must be. Every day the bucket a-go a well,
One day the bottom a-go drop out, One day the bottom a-go drop out
I say I - I - I - I shot the sheriff. Lord, I didn't shot the deputy
yeah! I - I shot the sheriff, But I didn't shoot no deputy,
yeah! no, yeah!

Song Note : "This song tells the story of a man who shoots a sheriff who is harassing him, but is wrongly accused of killing the deputy. Marley said that some of the song is true, but would not say what parts."

"This was the last single Marley released with Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, who left to go solo."

"The sheriff's name in the song is John Brown. In 1963, Bob Dylan wrote a song called "John Brown" about a boy who goes to war and comes back badly wounded."

No Woman No Cry Lyric


No woman no cry, No woman no cry

In the government yard in trenchtown,

Woman, little darlin, say don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry. Eh! little darlin, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry. Little sister, don't shed no tears. No woman no cry

Song Title : "Marley wrote this, but gave a composer credit to Vincent Ford, one of his friends from Jamaica who helped him out when he was very poor. By giving Ford the credit, Marley was helping out an old friend by making sure he got royalty checks. Ford ran a soup kitchen in Kingston."

"According to Rolling Stone magazine, the "Government yard in Trench Town" refers to the Jamaican public-housing project where Marley lived in the late '50s."

"This became Marley's first hit when it was released as a single from his album, Live!, which was recorded at the Lyceum in London in 1975. It was a hot July night, and they gave a rousing performance. This tour was a breakthrough for Marley and The Wailers. Their previous tour went horribly, as audiences outside of Jamaica did not appreciate his pure Reggae. He polished and tightened his sound for this tour in order to compete with the slick arena acts that were popular at the time, and got a great response. Glowing reviews led to sold out shows in the US, and by the time the tour hit London, they were a huge success."
