My father passed last night, and he always spoke of learning the teaching of God and not what men teach but what God does. Malo Aupito Unc Robert Nesta Marley " Give us the teachings of his majesty, we don't want no devil philosophy. "

I saw Bob Marley in concert, in 1979 at Western Springs, Auckland, two years before Bob died in 1981. My cousin, Rere, was looking for his brothers who were MIA, so he asked me if I'd like to go & see Bob, right there & then, to which I bloody immediately agreed. He was one of my favourite cousins because he grew up in the country with his uncle & was such a great story teller, so full of mischief & kind-hearted, as most country people are. When we got to the venue the atmosphere was amazing, I remember seeing all the different Maori & Islander gangs with all their gangster gear & regalia looking very menacing & the white bikie gangs with the Hell's Angels & Storm Troopers being most prominent. There were just people everywhere, such a great smokey party atmosphere as you would expect at a Bob Marley concert. We met our cousin Vaka, who was part of the security & lived around the corner where I lived in the suburb of Onehunga. It was the time of Raggae, Punk, Disco & remnants of the hippy era. I'm not sure whether we actually met Bob Marley after the concert, very possible because most of the songs he sang were about moi. I will always remember my cousin, Rere, with such fondness. I wouldn't mind seeing a Shaggy & Sting concert... T ❤🌤

The hardest hitting and second longest song on side 2 of the Survival Album. In his wisdom, Bob chose Kenya's flag as the first flag featured on the cover of the album, which was initially to be called 'Black Survival', but was toned down to just 'Survival' -- the first album in a trilogy of albums towards the end of Bob's life, i.e. Survival (1979), Uprising (1980) and Confrontation (1983)

Feel it in the one drop
And we'll still find time to rap
We're making the one stop
The generation gap
Now feel this drumbeat
As it beats within
Playing a rhythm
Resisting against the system, ooh-wee!

I know Jah never let us down
Pull your rights from wrong
(I know Jah would never let us down)
Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!

They made their world so hard (so hard)
Every day we got to keep on fighting (fighting)
They made their world so hard (so hard)
Every day the people are dying (dying), yeah
(Dread, dread) For hunger (it dread, dread) and starvation
(Dread, dread, it dread, oh dread) Lamentation
But read it in Revelation (Dread, dread, it dread, dread)
(Dread, dread) You'll find your redemption

And then you give us the teachings of His Majesty
For we no want no devil philosophy
A-you give us the teachings of His Majesty
A-we no want no devil philosophy

Feel it in the one drop
And we'll still find time to rap
We're making the one stop
And we're filling the gap
So feel this drumbeat
As it beats within
Playing a rhythm
Fighting against -ism and schism, singing

I know Jah never let us down
Pull your rights from wrong
I know Jah never let us down
Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!

They made their world so hard
Every day (we got to keep on fighting) every day!
They made their world so hard
Every day (the people are dying) eh!
(Dread, dread, it dread, dread) A-what make dem a-go on so?
(Dread, dread, it dread, oh dread) A-what!
(Dread, dread, it dread) A-what! (dread)
A-what frighten them? (Dread, dread)
A-what frighten them? Eh!

Give us the teachings of His Majesty, this is a stick up!
We no want no devil philosophy, can you hear?
Give us the teachings of His Majesty
For we no want no devil philosophy

We feel it in the one drop
You're lucky, for we'll still got time to rap
And we're making the one stop, let me tell ya
This generation gap
Now feel this drumbeat, tell you what
As it's beating within

He was and still is the Light of the world, especially for the down trodden peoples of the world. His songs were revolutionary and enlightening. What he sang about is the current condition of the present world. Until the Babylon system falls, some things are never gonna change bcoz the world is still trapped in a maze.
The more i listen to his songs, the more i get enlightened. Can't get enough of Him. His songs comfort me when I am feeling down.

We ll nerver forget you Sir Bob.
Peace and Rip Mister Bob. ❤❤❤
