g under p Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 We all lost one of the greatest singer/songwriter musicians ever Nesta Robert "Bob" Marley http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5e/Bob-Marley.jpg http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss337/kim_khriez/bobmarleythewailers2009.jpg http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w272/onebridge07/Marley-Wailers/BobMarley--Cliff_Maynard.jpg His music and songwriting influenced so many other musicians long after his death. Even his image is on or in just about everything today, a great musical loss 30 years ago today. I happened to be in Jamaica when his body returned to Jamaica is like a National holiday....I loved his final words to his son Ziggy Marley....Money can't buy life.

burgeranacoke Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights! Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights! Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights! Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight! Preacherman, don't tell me, Heaven is under the earth. I know you don't know What life is really worth. It's not all that glitters is gold; 'Alf the story has never been told: So now you see the light, eh! Stand up for your rights. Come on! Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights! Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight! Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights! Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight! Most people think, Great God will come from the skies, Take away everything And make everybody feel high. But if you know what life is worth, You will look for yours on earth: And now you see the light, You stand up for your rights. Jah! Get up, stand up! (Jah, Jah!) Stand up for your rights! (Oh-hoo!) Get up, stand up! (Get up, stand up!) Don't give up the fight! (Life is your right!) Get up, stand up! (So we can't give up the fight!) Stand up for your rights! (Lord, Lord!) Get up, stand up! (Keep on struggling on!) Don't give up the fight! (Yeah!) We sick an' tired of-a your ism-skism game - Dyin' 'n' goin' to heaven in-a Jesus' name, Lord. We know when we understand: Almighty God is a living man. You can fool some people sometimes, But you can't fool all the people all the time. So now we see the light (What you gonna do?), We gonna stand up for our rights! (Yeah, yeah, yeah!) So you better: Get up, stand up! (In the morning! Git it up!) Stand up for your rights! (Stand up for our rights!) Get up, stand up! Don't give up the fight! (Don't give it up, don't give it up!) Get up, stand up! (Get up, stand up!) Stand up for your rights! (Get up, stand up!) Get up, stand up! ( ... ) Don't give up the fight! (Get up, stand up!) Get up, stand up! ( ... ) Stand up for your rights! Get up, stand up! Don't give up the fight!
