God (isn't it Gaad for ze Amreekanos?) save Aaafrica now that Wolfowitz has been there and he plans to push more Dollars there. If a Neo-Con thinks, feels or even sees anything good in anything "good" in anything it must be of the ultimate evil design. Before they go and join hands in any other scam they shpuld be tried for War Crimes - all of them. |

  Bob Marley  From "Survival", Bob Marley's most political LP at a time of increased political turbulence in Africa: in Angola and Mozambique fighting intensified, and in Zimbabwe the struggle was finally coming to a head. On the "Survival" tour Bob Marley and The Wailers consciously opened their US dates at the legendary Apollo in Harlem. Bob felt that he hadn't been marketed sufficiently to black people; reggae, viewed condescendingly by many American blacks, appeared to be seen as a threat to r'n'b; getting on black radio was near impossible. After the Apollo shows, however, longstanding residents of Harlem claimed that the area had not buzzed like that since Marcus Garvey's time there. This was the desired effect: Bob was telling black people to wake up.  Africa, Unite 'Cause we're moving right out of Babylon And we're going to our father's land How good and how pleasant it would be Before God and man, yeah To see the unification of all Africans, yeah As it's been said already let it be done, yeah We are the children of the Rastaman We are the children of the Higher Man So Africa, Unite 'cause the children wanna come home Africa, Unite 'cause we're moving right out of Babylon And we're grooving to our father's land How good and how pleasant it would be Before God and Man To see the unification of all Rastaman, yeah As it's been said already let it be done I tell you who we are under the sun We are the children of the Rastaman We are the children of the Higher Man So, Africa, Unite, Africa, Unite Unite for the benefit of your people Unite for it's later than you think Unite for the benefit of your children Unite for it's later than you think Africa awaits its creators, Africa awaiting its creators Africa, you're my forefather cornerstone Unite for the Africans abroad, unite for the Africans a yard Africa, Unite

Marcus Garvey gave the slogan "back to Africa". His desire was to bring all the black people to one platform to his "Back to Africa" movement. Bob Marley is also treading the same path. But one wonders whether blacks' problem will be solved if all Africans go back to Africa and get united? In this regard a novel the Color Purple comes to mind. Alice Walker (an African-American writer and civil rights activists) in her pulitzer prize winning novel The color Purple, brings into limelight a harsh reality. African-Americans love Africa. They want to go back to their land but when they actually go there all their expectations go wrong. Africans do not accept them. They do not want anyone to interfere or improve their lives. So the characters who went to Africa with great hopes decided to go back to the United States. The true country of African-Americans is America. Going back to Africa to get equality and identity is only a daydream nor are Africans happy to accept them among them. African-Americans' real abode is the United States within the scope of their entire hyphenated group identity. All else is fantasy. What to say?

Brother Bob Marley's working on the African people was not only about calling back them to Africa, it was also an message to calling them to standing up...Brother Bob Marley used the words in the figurative meanings,for understanding his mission it needs more to be worked on...i agree with u that African People should stay where they live and effect to their ambiances with the soul they have and forgot to use(some of them not)... GET UP &STAND UP/BOB MARLEY
Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right (3 times) Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight Preacher man don't tell me heaven is under the earth I know you don't know what life is really worth Is not all that glitters in gold and Half the story has never been told So now you see the light, aay Stand up for your right. Come on Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight (Repeat) Most people think great God will come from the sky Take away ev'rything, and make ev'rybody feel high But if you know what life is worth You would look for yours on earth And now you see the light You stand up for your right, yeah! Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight Get Up, Stand Up. Life is your right So we can't give up the fight Stand up for your right, Lord, Lord Get Up, Stand Up. Keep on struggling on Don't give up the fight We're sick and tired of your ism and skism game Die and go to heaven in 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 We gonna stand up for our right So you'd better get up, stand up, stand up for your right Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight.

Allah (SWT) clearly mentions in Quran: Lesa lil insaana illa ma saaee (man only gets what he strives for). Its universal message transcending "all religious and political boundaries." Its the theme of success. Without effort, success is not possible. One cannot blame society for ones failure. So effort and determination are very important. And yes there must be someone to encourage, to lead, while the people are in utter disappointment. Words have magical effect. Repition adds influence. Quite motivating and evoking Lyrics |
