Redemption Song | 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

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? Ooh!

Some say it's just a part of it

We've got to fulfil de book

Won't you help to sing

These songs of freedom?

'Cause all I ever have

Redemption Song was written by Bob Marley when he was suffering from terminal skin cancer, the lyrics were inspired by a speech by a person named
Marcus Garvey. Redemption Song is a voice for freedom, gives motivation, invites rise from settlement and adversity, and rebels against arbitrariness. And
This song is also popularized by singer Rihanna.

yes, I am Sagas, I want to give a message contained in the redemption song, which is about how to lift yourself from mental slavery, no one but ourselves can
free our minds. Bob Marley's song of redemption Bob Marley is emphatically a protest against discrimination. He uses his music to promote the oppression of
people of African descent.

3. Jihan Azzahra Khairunnisa (10)

The lyrics that offer freedom, slavery and a condition for a spiritual sense anesthetize millions of people in the world. To the extent, some people consider
Bob Marley equivalent to the world's religious leaders. The lyrics "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, None but ourselves can free our minds"
loosely translated means "Free yourselves from mental slavery, Nothing but ourselves can free our minds."

Bob Marley through this line of lyrics invites everyone to free themselves from mental slavery. These lyrics were actually intended for the African people
who at that time had just been freed from slavery. However, freedom has not fully alighted in the African nation. Because the mentality of the African
nation is still trapped in "slavery."
