So gone were the Rude Boy anthems and musically his new beliefs were fused into every new release 1st album was catch a fire in 72 it wasnt hard to tell he was soon to be the yardstick against which reggae will forever be measured A few albums later Bob Marley and the Wailers Now internationally known Try and put on a free show back home For the poor, ravaged by political war Suffering You see he was a political force that rivaled the government And it being election time they kicked down his door Gunmen start runnin in and they shot On the eve of the concert, him and his wife, and they dropped I suppose they were tryna stop the.. movement of Jah people they had to make it known gunsmokell fumigate your home You aint gonna sway no votes Singing songs, away you go (gun shots) And he was left for dead, but there were none braver Then defiantly, two days later Arm in a sling, he got on stage Started to sing, they stood amazed And he pushed on, millions after millions sold Transcending all genres, he was healing souls Then a toe injury from playing football Turned out cancerous, what was the chance of it Still he kept on, he said thats how life goes No matter where it stops he was on the right road And on his last day, laying sick in bed Mama by his head, this is what he said no woman no cry, no woman no cry
