Introduction
In this work my intention is to prove my point through strong evidence
that Jamaica was passing through political problems that originated social ones
in the 70's and that Bob Marley's lyrics had an impact on the message of
freedom the people needed to hear about the faith and hope they needed to
have to continue they journey.

Development
Political instability led to rivalry between the people
Bob Marley refers to two mass political parties in Jamaica the JLP
(Jamaica Labour Party) and the PNP (People's National Party) who. By that
time, they were fighting for control and people were becoming very anxious.
Jamaican people were divided because of the parties' arguments. Everyone
was trying to understand which party could bring more benefits to their lives,
given that people were very poor, and passing through economic struggles.
However, arguments and competitivity between those got violent and street
gangs started to be against each other tragically. “Everyone” had guns, which is
proved by the fact that “The Suppression of Crime Act allowed the police and
the military to work together in a novel way to disarm the people (…) the new
judicial procedures of the Gun Court Act were designed to ensure that firearms
violations would be (…) harshly punished” according to From 1974 to 1980
Jamaica was widespread with political violence, even that the Prime Minister
Michael Manley (leader of the Jamaican People's National Party) expressed his
determination to take stronger action against firearms and many other themes
that were a barrier to peace and freedom.
Attempt of murder
Bob Marley was feeling pressure to pick a side, because of his huge
[23]
influence, but did not want to buy that war. Thereafter he, his wife, and manager
Don Taylor were shot by unidentified assailants inside Marley's house on
December 3, 1976, two days before a free performance, where the Jamaican
Prime Minister Michael Manley had planned to ease tension between two
competing political parties.

Despite suffering severe wounds, Taylor and Marley's wife fully recovered
and Bob Marley sustained minor injuries. Many people believed that the
performance was in favor of Manley, leading them to suspect that the attempt at
his death was political.
The album “Survival”
The powerful name of the album where the song “Ambush in the Night” is
inserted has a lot to say about what Bob Marley wanted to transmit. “Survival”
was influenced by Bob Marley's murder attempt which with political violence
and rivalry these assassination threats and attempts started to happen
frequently. Through his own personal experience and by considering himself
part of the suffering population, through the lyrics of the songs in the album, he
gives hope to people to stay strong as a community. According to Amenorvi (4)
“He sees himself as the symbolism of the entire black race and his survival a
symbolic survival of the black race.”
Lyrics analysis
“Ambush in the Night” analysis
Political tension was one of the main concerns of the singer, regularly
mentioned in the Survival album and specifically in this song which is included
in the album.
With Jamaica's instability people started to fight for power and money,
[26]
being the main theme of the song as in the first line: “See them fighting for
power”. Politicians, the ones responsible for people's possession of guns, cross
limits, and approach violence to reach their objectives. “Ambush in the Night”
lyric portray a community battle against an unfair and corrupt society
highlighting themes as manipulation used by the oppressive political system.
Bob Marley feels the need to reenforce the resistance and unity between
Jamaican people.
In the first verse Bob Marley focuses on politicians using various tactics,
such as manipulation and bribery, to keep the people down as expressed in the
lyric: “So they bribing with their guns, spare-parts and money ”. Dissimulating
only the information they want says a lot about the political educational system,
since what those in power say is considered the only truth other people can
acknowledge, easing the process of spreading their thoughts and ideas without
being contradicted. This susceptibility to manipulation can be proved with the

[14]
lines: “Trying to belittle our/ Integrity now/ They say what we know/ Is just what
they teach us”.
The fact that people are controlled can be in favor of the politicians since
they set them against one another through political strategy in order to prevent
them from being united and confront the true cause of their troubles. As
[14]
expressed in the following lines: “And we're so ignorant/ 'Cause every time they
can reach us (shoobe, doo-wa)/ Through political strategy (shoo-be, doo-wa).
The urge to stop this oppression can make the people feel angry causing
rivalry between them, trying to solve violence with more violence. But the case
reflected in the lyrics is the opposite, where people feel hungry to hear about
the solution encountered in their spirituality and faith in the Lord, their only truth.
Since not everyone makes what is considered to be the right choice by Bob
[24]
Marley listening to what the politicians say “Your brother got to be your enemy,
we-e-ell!”, as it is written in the last line from the first verse.
- In Bob Marley's mind, the political strategy is a scheme to reach
ignorant people, the poorer, because politicians have the power to
keep people hungry and make them believe that their brothers are the
enemy.
- Ambush in the night is not only about what happened to Bob Marley
but also about the open fire against Jamaican poor people and
fighting for dominating and manipulating society.

“Ambush in the Night” is one of the tracks on the album “Survival”,
published in 1979 by Bob Marley and the Wailers.
This song reveals Bob Marley's way of thinking. As in many other songs,
he refers to the problem in this particular case, political problems that improve
social problems, but after that, he shows the solution. Based on his beliefs, the
singer has faith that there is only one solution to all those problems, which is the
Lord. In his opinion, political strategy cannot touch those who believe in
Rastafari. “Every law is illegal. Every government of the face of the earth is
illegal. Only Jaa Law should be followed.”, according to Bob Marley. He believes
they are protected by Lord and they will survive despite society's plan to destroy
them. This song talks about hope and justice even if they are only in God.

Bob Marley's wife, Rita Marley, confirmed that he had already been
diagnosed with cancer by the time he composed and released “Redemption
Song”. This gesture makes us believe that writing this song was the best thing
he could do before he died by offering a song that people would cherish and
treasure as his last message to the world.
[1]
“Redemption Song”, included in the “Uprising” album release by Bob
Marley and the Wailers and published in October 1980 was done in a style that
Bob Marley doesn't usually perform on his tracks, an acoustic reggae ballad,
which is known as Bob Marley's resume of life. It first gives us some context
about the history of Jamaica around the time of its discovery.
Bob Marley begins this song by remembering the past of Jamaican
people when old pirates brought treasure to Jamaica making it prosper.
However, this song also mentions the time Jamaican people were occupied by
Spain soon after Christopher Columbus, the European explorer, landed in
Jamaica, on May 5, 1494. This song mentions that blacks were enslaved and
sold as if they were merchandise, reporting the violation of human rights that
was experienced at that time.
The Rastafari and Bob Marley's faith is truly present when he refers to
the Almighty (which means God) and the fact that Bob Marley's confidence and
devotion to the Almighty have allowed him to maintain strong by His hand.
[12]
Jamaica's history has been poetically composed by Howard Pyle, who
states:
[12]
“Jamaica, like many another of the West Indian Islands, is like a woman with a
[12] [12]
history. She has had her experiences and has lived her life rapidly. She has
enjoyed a fever of prosperity founded upon those incalculable treasures poured

[12]
into her lap by the old time buccaneer pirates. She has suffered earthquake,
[12]
famine, pestilence, fire and death: and she has been the home of cruel
merciless slavery, hardly second to that practiced by the Spaniards themselves.

[12]
Other countries have taken centuries to grow from their primitive life through the
flower and fruit of prosperity into the seed time of picturesque decrepitude.
[12]
Jamaica has lived through it all in a few years.”
[12] [12]
According to Pyle – Howard Pyle, “Jamaica New and Old” in Harper's New
Monthly Magazine, January 1890.

"Redemption Song" (Bob Marley & The Wailers, “Uprising” album 1980)
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 hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?

“Could you be loved” analysis

[9]
Bob Marley and The Wailers' song "Could You Be Loved" examines the
strength of love and the difficulty of remaining loyal to oneself in the face of
society's pressures. The song's lyrics exhort listeners to embrace their
uniqueness and rebuff attempts by others to influence or dominate them. The
song also highlights the value of brotherly love and the necessity of teamwork in
order to overcome challenges and effect good change.

Listeners are prompted to consider their willingness to offer and receive
love in the chorus' question, "Could you be loved then be loved?" The fact that
this sentence is repeated highlights the significance of love as a power that can
unite people despite their differences. The song is also an appeal to oppose
[10]
social conditioning and think for oneself, as the lyrics "Don't let them fool ya, or
even try to school ya, oh no / We've got a mind of our own / So go to hell if what
you thinkin' is not right" imply. Instead of giving in to pressure to conform to
society conventions, Marley exhorts the listener to stay loyal to their own
convictions and principles.
The phrase "Love your brother, man!" highlights the value Marley places
on family, friends, and the community. The repeated usage of the word "say
something" in the song's second half might be seen as a call to action,
encouraging listeners to stand up for their convictions.
"Could You Be Loved" has the intention to strongly inspire and motivate
listeners to embrace their uniqueness, love, and brotherhood while overcoming
demands from society to fit in.
[10]
“Could you be loved” (Bob Marley & The Wailers, “Uprising” album) lyrics
Could you be loved, and be loved?
[10]
[10]
Don't let them fool ya,
Or even try to school ya! Oh, no!
[10]
We've got a mind of our own,
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right!
[10]
Love would never leave us alone,
Ay-in the darkness there must come out to light.
Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?
[10]
(The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too,
So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you)
Love your brother, man!
[10]
(Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
[10]
Could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
[10]
Could you be - could you be loved?)
Don't let them change ya, oh!
Or even rearrange ya! Oh, no!
[10]
We've got a life to live.
[10]
They say: only - only -
Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive -
Stay alive! Eh!
Could you be loved, -o now! and be loved?

Rude walk throught the darkness and see the greater light
Could you be loved - could you be loved
Let the light be your guide and things gonna be alright
Could you be loved - could you be loved
Don't let them change ya, oh!
Or even rearrange ya! Oh, no!
Get up! get up! get up!
Get up now!
We've been, we've been, I said down too long
Get up! get up get up now!
Get up now!
Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?
[10]
(You ain't gonna miss your water until your well runs dry;
[10]
No matter how you treat him, the man will never be satisfied.)
Say something! (Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be loved?)
Say something! Say something!
(Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?)
Say something! (Could you be - could you be loved?)
Say something! Say something! (Say something!)
Say something! Say something! (Could you be loved?)
Say something! Say something! Reggae, reggae!
Say something! rasta, rasta!
Say something! Reggae, reggae!
Say something! rasta, rasta!
Say something!”
“Get Up, Stand Up” analysis
Bob Marley and The Wailers' song "Get Up, Stand Up" promotes the
rights and equality of all people. Injustice brought on by racism, poverty, and
various types of social and economic inequality is discussed in the song. People
are urged by the lyrics to fight for their own rights and not give up. In the face of
persecution, the song exhorts listeners to have faith in their own sense of self-
worth and judgment. The song's theme is to fight against oppression and
injustice, to oppose biased and unjust societal structures, and to never give up
the battle for justice and human rights. “You don't have to die to find paradise;
you can create it right here.” Death is mentioned in the opening statement that
criticizes a preacher and claims that heaven is not "under the earth."

“So Much Trouble In The World” analysis

[16] [16]
"So Much Trouble in the World" is a song by Bob Marley and the Wailers,
featured on their 1979 album "Survival". The song addresses world problems as
global issues of poverty and social injustice problems and the main focus about
how people are so individualists and focused on their own interests, without
thinking about others. He talks about the need to give a little to help others and
the fact that some people think they have the solution to the world's problems,
but this is just an illusion. The protagonist thinks that everyone has to work
together to face the difficulties of the day and hope that things will get better.
[10]
Bob Marley & The Wailers' song "So Much Trouble in the World" refers to
the different conflicts and challenges existent in the world. The song highlights
the need for compassion and solidarity while highlighting the situation of society.
Marley recognizes that there is instability and unpredictability in the world
in the first verse. The idea of the sun rising once more stands for the chance for
a new beginning, optimism, and the potential for progress. But he adds that
anything may happen given the worrying condition of circumstances right now.
The global nature of the problems is emphasized in the second
verse. Marley uses the metaphor of sailing on an ego trip to criticize those who
are self-absorbed and distant from reality. He highlights a lack of concern for
others and makes deductions about conflicts brought on by ego and
selfishness.
[8]
The chorus reiterates the line "So much trouble in the world," highlighting
how widespread these problems are. Marley encourages generosity and
empathy in order to motivate listeners to act and change the world.
Marley issues a warning in the third verse about relying on deceptive
cures or illusions that do not deal with the underlying causes of the world's
problems. Through the use of the image of a cornerstone, he implores people to
stay in outcast or forgotten areas. He draws attention to the difficulties faced by
regular people and urges group efforts to address current issues.
The fourth verse conveys a warning by implying that individuals who
commit social injustices and act carelessly will eventually pay the price. The
metaphor of the "time bomb" alludes to the dire results of disregarding other
people's well-being. What goes around comes around, as Marley underlines, is
a metaphor for the cyclical nature of behavior and its ultimate effects.
The song reflects about how much chaos there is in the world and
emphasizes the need to identify and resolve these problems. Bob Marley states
that there is still much work to be done in order to build a more peaceful and
just society. Repetitions serve as a call to action and feeling of urgency. "So
Much Trouble in the World" alerts people for them to be aware of the problems
and take action to bring change.

“So Much Trouble In The World” (Bob Marley & the Wailers, in “Survival”
[8]
album 1979) lyric
So much trouble in the world
Bless my eyes this morning
Jah sun is on the rise once again
The way earthly thing's are going
Anything can happen
You see men sailing on their ego trip
Blast off on their spaceship

No care for you, no care for me

Give a little (give a little), give a little (give a little)!
One more time, ye-ah! (give a little) Ye-ah! (give a little)

Ye-ah! (give a little) Yeah!

“Africa Unite” analysis
Bob Marley and The Wailers' song "Africa Unite" is a rallying cry for
Africans to unite and return to their native country. In the song's lyrics, Africans
express a desire to unite as a single people in order to overcome the obstacles
and divides brought on by colonization and tyranny.
Mentioning Babylon serves as a metaphor for the repressive structures
and forces that have kept Africans back. Breaking free from these restrictions
and restoring their cultural and spiritual traditions and culture involves leaving
Babylon.

“So Much Things To Say” analysis
Bob Marley & The Wailers' song "So Much Things To Say" covers the
singer's many injustices and grievances as well as more general social and
political concerns. The song's lyrics appear to express anger and resistance
against people that mistreat, oppress, or criticize him.

The chorus highlights how everyone has "so much things to say,"
implying that Marley is the subject of a lot of speculation, and rumors. Despite
this, he perseveres and is resolute, refusing to allow other people's opinions
define or discourage him.

“So Much Things To Say” (by Bob Marley & the Wailers, in “Exodus”
album 1977) lyric
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Ooh yeah, yeah!
They got so much things to say right now
They got so much things to say
They got so much things to say
Eh!
But I'll never forget no way: they crucified Je-sus Christ

I'll never forget no way: they stole Marcus Garvey for rights
Ooh-ooh!
I'll never forget no way: they turned their back on Paul Bogle
Hey-ey!

They got so very, so very, so very, so very, so very, so very, so very
So-so very, they saying everything
They say so much today
They got so much things to say, so much things to say
I'n'I nah come to fight flesh and blood
But spiritual wickedness in 'igh and low places
So while they fight you down
Stand firm and give Jah thanks and praises
'Cause I'n'I no expect to be justified
By the laws of men - by the laws of men
Oh, true they found me guilty
But through - through Jah proved my innocency
Oh, when the rain fall, fall, fall now
It don't fall on one man's housetop. Remember that:
When the rain fall

It don't fall on one man's housetop
They singin': so very much, so very much, oh so very much
So, so very
Yeah, they got so much things to say
Hey, but I'n'I - I'n'I nah come to fight flesh and blood
But spiritual wickedness in 'igh and low places
So while, so while, so while they fight you down
Stand firm and give Jah thanks and praises
I'n'I no expect to be justified
By the laws of men - by the laws of men
Oh, hey through Jah to prove my innocency
I told you wicked think they found me guilty
They got la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
