Redemption Song
Bob Marley
Composição: Bob Marley

Old pirates, yes, they rob I,
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottom less 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
Huh, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to ful fill the 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
Oh, 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 it's just a part of it:
We've got to ful fill the 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!

Break it back, turn it loose

Real Situation
Bob Marley
Composição: Bob Marley

Check out the real situation
Nation war against nation
Where did it all begin, when will it end
Well it seems like total destruction
The only solution
And there ain't no use
No one can stop them now
Ain't no use nobody can stop them now

Give them an inch they take a yard
Give them yard they take a mile
Once a man and twice a child
And everything is just for a while
It seems like total destruction
The only solution
And there ain't no use
No one can stop them now
Ain't no use no one can stop them now
Ain't no use no one can stop them now
Ain't no use no one can stop them now

Check in the real situation
Check it out, check it out
Nation fight against nation
Where did it all begin, where will it end.
Well it seems like total destruction
The only solution
No use can't stop them
Ain't no use can't stop them
Ain't no use no one can't stop them now
Can't stop them now
Ain't no use no one can stop them now
Ain't no use you even try.
Ain't no use got to say bye bye
Ain't no use no one can stop them now
No one can stop them now

Rat Race
Bob Marley
Composição: Rita Marley

Ah! Ya too rude
Oh, what a rat race
Oh, what a rat race
Oh, What a rat race
This is the rat race
Rat race, rat race

Some a lawful, some a bastard, some a jacket
Oh what a rat race, rat race

Some a gorgan, some a hooligan, some a guine-gog
In this rat race, yeah!
Rat race
I'm singing
When the cats away
The mice will play
Political violence fill ya city
Yea-ah!
Don't involve Rasta in your say say
Rasta don't work for no C.I.A.
Rat race, rat race, rat race
When you think is peace and safety
A sudden destruction
Collective security for surety
Yeah!

Don't forget your history
Know your destiny
In the abundance of water
The fool is thirsty
Rat race, rat race, rat race

Oh it's a disgrace to see the
Human-race in a rat race, rat race
You got the horse race
You got the dog race
You got the human-race
But this is a rat race, rat race

Rastaman Live Up
Bob Marley
Composição: Bob Marley e Lee Perry

Rastaman live up, Bongoman don't give up
Congoman live up, Bingyman don't give up
Keep your culture, don't be afraid
Of the vulture, grow your dreadlock
Don't be afraid of the wolfpack

Rastaman live up, Bingyman don't give up
Congoman live up, Bongoman don't give up

David slew Goliath with a sling and a stone
Samson slew the philistines with a donkey jawbone
Iyaman live up, Rastaman don't give up
Bingyman live up, Congoman don't give up

Trodding thru creation, in a irie meditation
Seen many visions, in a this yah armageddon
Rastaman live up, Congoman don't give up
Rastaman live up, Natty Dread no give up

Saw it in the beginning
So shall it be in this iwa (time)
And they fallen in confusion
Well a just a step from Babel Tower
Rastaman live up, Congoman no give up (Repeat)

Grow your dreadlocks
Don't be afraid of the wolf pack
A tell you, one man a walking
And a billion man a sparking

Rastaman live up, Bingyman don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up
