EMANCIPATE YOURSELVES FROM MENTAL SLAVERY; NONE BUT OURSELVES CAN FREE OUR MINDS (798 hits)

WON’T YOU HELP TO SING/ THIS SONG OF FREEDOM/ CAUSE ALL I EVER HAVE…REDEMPTION SONGS, REDEMPTION SONGS.


by BOB MARLEY



Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won't you help to sing
This 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? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fullfil the book.


Won't you help to sing
This 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.
Wo! 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 fullfil the book.
Won't you have to sing
This songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.

Hello to All,

It is faulty to believe that you could redeem yourself from mental slavery. Someone has to redeem you. Just think that if you could redeem yourself from mental slavery you would never allow yourself to be put in mental slavery.

Nevertheless, Bob Marley’s songs of very inspiring to Black Americans since the sentiments of his songs matches our grieving.

The bottom line is that Black Americans should want to know when will our grieving end, am I right.

Okay

Hello Cynthia,

You asked, “WHEN WILL OUR GRIEVING END?”

The only rational answer that I have is when Black Americans come to accept and understand that I am the way, and besides me, there is no other way that Black Americans could ever become a real people in this world.

Likewise, after many years of Moses reasoning with the Hebrew people that he [Moses] was the way, and besides him, they were in no other way that the Hebrew people could be free from Pharaoh that they came to accept Moses is when God kicked in and things began to happen.

Tell me what you think.
