Nowadays Bob Marley declares that slavery is within our minds, and we must overcome this with the help of a higher authority... god the almighty. It is the final track on Bob Marley and the Wailers' twelfth album, Uprising, produced by Chris Blackwell and released by Island Records. Minutes after being saved from the bottomless pit (hell), the old pirates of religious thinking seize your mind for their own with no reasoning whatsoever. When he says the book must be fulfilled, he clearly mentions the bible as events are happening according to the bible. remember the time and place this song was written in, and its context: it really wasn't that long ago.
Whatever will happen will happen, and there's no stopping it. He also touched upon this in Top Rankin, its the world elite, the same people who killed him, with a pair of boots, which had a bio weapon in there. We are all slaves, this world is a prison planet.
no hes talking about people like YOU who do nothing but judge to make themselves fell better.
i think bob marley saw the bigger picture that is becoming more and more evident now, he was against the people who propagate war, the privilaged few who sit on top manipulating things to make sure the rest of us are kept on our knees(check peter pumpkin head lyrics), the people who kill our prophets (jews christian and muslim)that propagate religion where people are considered equal any time a person propagates peace he is brought down, taken out or his name gets slandered. Some key lyrics derived from a speech given by the Pan-Africanist orator Marcus Garvey entitled "The Work That Has Been Done".
"Redemption Song" is a song by Bob Marley. Our "leaders" the elite (wealthy) are all related by ancient bloodlines (Bush/Clinton/ all the presidents of the US are related to the british royal family), look it up for yourself. This song is about the enslavement that we are all in. They have control of political, military, scientific and the media, basically they control everything, including the news that you watch. being that i am fron dey islands as well. nevertheless, as time passes, other form of slavery emerge,in today's world a man is a slave of his mind. this song also talks about slavery,although it mentions the slavery in which one man is bound to another, it regarads to it as a form oh slavery which our generation has abolished. The line, "Have no fear for atomic energy, cause none of them can stop the time" means that no matter what wars we get involved in, no matter who bombs who, we shouldn't be afraid. The hand of the almighty is God. Wake up sheeple, look up New World Order, Illuminati, and look at what patriots like Alex Jones, David Icke and many others are now saying and have been saying for years. FIRST OF ALL you are all right, there is multiple meanings not just one specific one. Either that or go back to watching American Idol or Britains got Talent!
time is god's creation, god is stronger than man, therfore no man made force can stop the progress of the universe(or the time). " UFO's and the "dead" relatives that you talk to, are all evil spirits. isn't it funny how they "kill our prophets while we standa aside and look". nevertheless, as time passes, other form of slavery emerge,in today's world a man is a slave of his mind. those who think they have power above god, who keep us all their slaves.... he saw it and spoke through song... wow hes talking to white people? DUHHHHHHHHH! He's asking us too look outside of the matrix, and see whats really going on in this world. I take this song to be a metaphor for the mental slavery of religion itself.
