Born Robert Nesta Marley on February 6, 1945 In nine mile, St.Ann Emancipate yourself from mental slavery none But ourselves can free our mind I grew up on that prophetic message and philosophy And it never left my soul or mind You have left a legacy World renowned This dreadlocks man left his mark Permanently
I believe you were before your time I was not yet born When you departured But your music was my friend I was built on your roots Something music lacks today Your words emanate so powerfully That builds faith and tear down injustice It inspire greatness
I remember the man who chants words of ball of fire Hitting beyond anyone’s imagination Or comprehension of his God given talent He has touched hearts from Jamaica to America Europe to India to Africa all over His music is worldwide It’s like a life’s guide Whether ball head or Rasta man Bob Marley music lives on I have yet to see someone like him His legacy continues with his sons and daughters With every Jamaican His message was deep, spiritual and philosophical To the soul and mind. R.I.P The Great Reggae Legend.
