One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds!
Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?
Don't gain the world and lose your soul; wisdom is better than silver or gold.
When one door is closed, don't you know, another is open.
I don't stand for the black man's side, I don' t stand for the white man's side. I stand for God's side.
Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don't give up the fight.
Bob Marley isn't my name. I don't even know my name yet.
Every time I plant a seed, He say kill it before it grow, he say kill it before they grow.
My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever.
The more people smoke herb, the more Babylon fall.
My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die.
If you know what your life is worth, you will look for yours on earth.
The road to life is rocky, and you may stumble too. So while you point your fingers, someone else is judging you.
I woke up this morning, smiled at the rising sun.
Your life is worth much more than gold.
A hungry mob is an angry mob.
All those governments and this and that, these people that say they're here to help, why them say you cannot smoke the herb? Herb... herb is a plant, you know? And when me check it, me can't find no reason. All them say is, 'it make you rebel'. Against what?
The more you accept herb, the more you accept Rastafari.
Every day the bucket a-go a well, one day the bottom a-go drop out.
We JAH people can make it work.
Alcohol make you drunk, man. It don't make you meditate, it just make you drunk. Herb is more a consciousness.
Rastafari not a culture, it's a reality.
In the abundance of water a fool is thirsty. Rat Race, from the album Rastaman Vibration When one door is closed, many more is open. Coming in from the Cold, from the album Confrontation It is better to live on the house top than to live in a house full of confusion.
Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect -and I don't live to be- but before you start pointing fingers... make sure you hands are clean!
Live for yourself and you will live in vain; Live for others, and you will live again.
Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality.
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Judge not, before you judge yourself. Judge not, if you're not ready for judgment. Road of life is rocky and you may stumble too, so while you talk about me, someone else is judging you. I know that I'm not perfect and that I don't claim to be, so before you point your fingers make sure your hands are clean.
