  • @happymouse you are right

  • High as a bitch

  • The lyrics aren't "emancipate yourself for mental slavery". It's "emancipate yourselves from anti-slavery". Saying that they didn't need a white man to free them, they needed to do it for themselves.

  • @Observer010173259864 naw my dude.... it is mental slavery.

  • God could we do a trade?

    We give you Justin Bieber , and you give us Dio.

    We give you Miley Cyrus, and you give us 2Pac.

    We give you Lady Gaga , and you give us Bob Marley.

    Can be?

  • Even though I was a baby, I'm so glad I was on this earth and breathed the same air as Bob Marley :) Too bad it wasn't in a "blow back" type way LOL You know what, I gave up smoking weed years ago (and I used to smoke a LOT) and I feel this music more than ever! With age comes understanding and it sets you free :)

  • Love this song

  • @11000scumbag look at all those fans he has and tell me once again no ones loving him. Dickhead

  • you dont like good music blah blah blah music sucks today blah blah blah justin bieber is a gimmick blah blah blah...grow up

  • it took me 18 years of my life to finally hear this song...what have i been doing!!!!

  • The BEST!

  • Bob Marley changed my life! He inspire me!

    Love to Ya all!

  • When listenin' to that song with my beats on im feeling very good like if I was High in a room full of hoes

  • I don't care who's black, white, whatever. This song speaks to me and brings me back to reality when I start to 'go lunatic'. It speaks to me and I kind of think that if it spoke to more people the world might be in a better place. 'Like' if you do NOT want the world to be a better place! LOL

  • @chefart69 how dare you show up on bob marley video. Bob treid to cure raisme and hate through music. Im not a fan of beibs music, but i dont hate him. He never did anything to you and I. Bob was trying to try and fix you people.

  • FUCK Justin faggot biebar.. To even mention him on the same page as marley is a disgrace,,,

  • @chefart69 i m sure bob marley would not insult justin bieber

  • bob marley is my god<3

  • Comment removed

  • A lot of misunderstandings going on. God Loves bob as much as he loves beiber. We were all created free.

  • @MrCanada144  nobody loves beiber just a fad people will grow up and be embarrased to even say his name straight looser beiber is

  • at the right time the right song

    im a free man

  • BOB AT HIS FINEST IM PROUD TO BE A FAN OF HIS MUSIC REAL PURPOSE IN HIS SONGS

  • cant believe his dad was white

  • @WilliamCostiganu73 why not?

  • @dreadedwheat26 Because he hasn't learnt anything from him. Some people just need to accept that the world is colourful. R.I.P Bob, you'll always be in my heart brother.

  • @OfficialAkala i dont understand what you mean. never mind though,we both love bob.

  • BOB LIVE

  • We need somebody like Bob Marley today...

  • THANK YOU BROTHER, BOB MARLEY IS THE SOUL OF MY EXISTENCE

  • This song brings back all the old memories of the passed time with friends that left.Most wonderful song ever written...

  • The 17 dick heads that disliked should be killed with fire.

  • @TexTheMerciless Are you a child? Love doesn't wish anything of the sort for people that have a difference of opinion. Educate yourself and keep the hate away.

  • @CampyNeighbor

    Is the horse you sit on so high you can't recognize sarcasm?

    Relax Gandhi, nobody is going to set those dick heads on fire.

  • My social studies teacher showed me this during a slavery powerpoint.

  • @AverageNut My social studies teacher showed us this years ago. It didn't occur to me until a few minutes ago to look this up. It's absolutely fantastic and beautiful. Share it with your friends.

  • is the best song of all time

  • You ever here the Wyclef cover for 9/11? It was pretty good. It was from the Heroes concert they did for the fire fighters and such.

  • Please stop to compare Bob and God.He's awesome yes but he is not Bob Marley.

  • @passatMrT - You got it man, "part of something bigger than you".

    That feels good, feels right, and somehow the ocean helps us know that. Cool.

  • How beautiful and how timely for Martin Luther King's birthday: "How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?"

  • 1970: Jimi Hendrix 1971: Jim Morrison 1978: Keith Moon 1980: John Lennon and John Bonham 1982: Bob Marley 1994:Kurt Cobain and i only ask why?

  • ma quale rihanna questa song solo bob la puo cantare cosi come se fosse una poesia!! Nn sparate cazzate

  • Strange..

    Bob Marley is one of the few lets say artist that will probably never be forgotten.

    But don't forget how.. how... great he is probably he will be forgotten in time but I am happy to say this... That will take a very long time.

    How can you forget this rebel!?

    How can you forget this artist!?

    How can you forget this legend!?

    Legends never die.

  • 15 people are killing our prophets!

  • everytime i listen to a bob i smile a <3

  • its crazy havent stared my life but choese my kaskit song

  • Possibly one of the most moving songs ever written. Lots of songs can make you happy in your mind or even your heat. But this is one of a very few songs that just makes me happy in my soul. I was just on the beach in Mexico by my self watching the surf roll in, and I just couldn't help but start singing this song to myself. It makes you realize your place in the world. It's not that you're small and insignificant, but that you're part of something bigger than you.

    RIP Bob, your legacy lives on

  • @PassatMrT dude you stood at the beach and started to sing?? What the fuck... and you don´t think this is gay, do you?

  • @evilsnig ....are you serious?

  • @evilsnig You've obviously not a true Bob fan. if you were, you would agree with him...

  • @evilsnig

    Trolling on a Bob Marley song, especially one that was one of his last and probably most meaningful, is just sad dude. I could choose to tear you a new asshole and humiliate you, but you know what, I'm not going to. It would be a discredit to this man's legacy, which is more than 99.9% of us will ever achieve. Honestly, it just sounds like you have some growing up to do. I wish you luck with it. Maybe someday you'll understand what music like this means.

    Peace

  • @PassatMrT dude you just reminded me of fucking disney movies where the fucking protagonists always sing. I hate that crap. But i didn´t say anything bad about bob nor did i disrespect his life achievements. But now... now thankts to you i turned into a bad person. Now i hate bob marley and his fucking music. Now i believe its all about raggae shit and fucking weed/drug shit. SO: FUCK YOU bob marley fans and FUCK YOU passatmrFUckrapeT

  • @evilsnig can't help myself but to reply.. you seem to be a sad man.. bob have a great tip for you in this song. "None but ourselves can free our mind" hate/love w/e u want man but try to find something that makes you happy cuz you don't seem to be, this comment represent yourself.. is this the way you want people to see you?

  • @evilsnig i love how you hate this music, but your on this page listening to it

  • @PassatMrT oh yea btw im 29.

  • @PassatMrT  Fucking A man

  • @PassatMrT is Bob Marley Dead?

  • @PassatMrT wow man. your post just brought chills to my spine. couldn't have said it better myself

  • no one could ever amount to this man.

    fuck anyone who covers him.

  • how could people dislike this song????FYah pon dem people..lava..lava..bun 

  • @promac100 Legends never die so dont use past tense sir.

  • @mrnickisntaprick Sorry what I meant to say was is he's still a legend and always well be :)

  • Bob Marley was a LEGEND in his own time and mine... we are all one in this world, his music is my gilding light, and hay ToddTheDayTrader before you start to preach about life you need to live it first kid His teachings about who we are... be it black- white or whatever, we should/need to embrace it

  • @promac100 I'm living it right now, I'm allowed to say how I feel, just as you are.

  • @ToddTheDayTrader So now you think you’re a prophet eh? Giving out advice to others,

    you’re allowed to say how you feel or whatever you like!! That’s free speech, just as I am,

    but when you post a stupid comment like this one,

    quote, “you do not owe anything to anyone other than yourself” it just reminds me of a self-centred egocentric kid whose never even started to live life,

  • @promac100 smelly pants

  • @ToddTheDayTrader What you don’t understand or seem to grasp is that everyone and anyone who’s ever been part of your life from the second you were born has influence it,

    including for some anyway, Bob Marley,

    but most certainly your family and friends be it good or bad...

    you need to focuses kid

  • @promac100 I also quoted "be kind to others". It's not that you owe it to them, you just do it. Maybe you didn't read all of what I said, or didn't grasp the message I was giving. I was just saying, you're not entitled to give your heart and soul to someone, you just do because you care about them.

  • I owe too much to this man for him to be dead, how can i thank him?

  • @stdane96 you really owe him nothing, you do not owe anything to anyone other than yourself. Just be a good person and question what is really going on in the world and don't believe what you're fed by tv. Be your own person and be kind to others, I think that is thankfulness to everyone.

  • marvin gay

  • words to live by......

  • Bob Marley is to Jamaica, as Jimi Hendrix is to the U.S.A.

  • Bob Marley was a fucking musical genius. I don't give a fuck what anyone else has to say about him. Rest In Peace.<3

  • people think of Bob Marley of just being a pot head. but i give him my respect to him because he sang for freedom of peace of no vilonce. this man is the denifition of motivation.

  • Greatest muscian R.I.P. Rasta

  • @edwardreed20 Never Say R.I.P to Bob Marley because if I'm right LEGENDS NEVER DIE

  • @TheHappyMoose true that

  • @TheHappyMoose Bob Marley isn't dead, just press play.

  • <3 love ya bob marley :D

  • and everybody else to make a change i am im ready to die for a good cause let all make a change PEACE & LOVE

    SORRY GUYS IT WOULDNT LET ME WRITE IT ALL THIS IS THE 2ND PART

  • its more than just bob marley its people like him & tupac tried to make a different i feel there pain we all need to do something instead of talking about lets do it i cant do nothing by myself we all need to come together black whit Hispanic Asian Jamaican if you live in this country your opinoin matters try and make a different they died doing gods work so ask yourselves are you ready to die for gods work because i am are you ready to leave our wife kids husband mother father grandfather

  • People that hate this song just listen to the stuff that all the pop artist creat. I can respect that, but every onece and a while people need to come here and just calm down, and listen to bob. Peace.

  • geiler song

  • A good song

  • nuff people cant or wont open their mental copasity to go beyond the symple words, to see the pain he felt for all coruption in the world,more importantly how we all play a role in all of it.starting with the guy in the mirror. blessed. big up bob.

  • How could someone hate on a song this chill? People need to start living THEIR lives and not worry about other peoples.

  • you could be at the ends of earth and in your worst nightmare and you could listen to his beautifull voice and wherever you are happyness will come to you

  • Love IT <3

  • iv had this song sang to me countless times as a baby haha now that i listen to the lyrics it makes alot of sense, BOB Marley knew wassup!

  • free your self from mental slavery.  I love that verse of this song. If they listen to his music the world would be a better place. Truly a man he love God.

  • Knew this song WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY before I Am Legend

  • idk bout you guys buy 3 out of 4 of my t-shirts are bob marley t's

  • I've got this Lp, yep LP, I've loved this man as long as that.

  • I don't normally do this but whoever likes this is a fucked up little prick and shouldn't be allowed to live

  • @TheMaximan97 i think maybe your the fucked up one, amazing song with meaning to any race or nation of people who have freedom and rites taken from them,i'd love to know your nationality but i have a very good idea!

  • @1ellenmaguire im fucked up but ur calling it an amazing song?? (which it is) i think you might be fucked up

  • the like bar looks like a big green bifta sparked up hahah

  • I remember when they played this at the end of "I am Legend", that was awesome!

  • Hands down my favorite Bob Marley song. This song is meant to remind us that we are all of one consciousness and of one spirit. Our controllers have started to lose control of our minds and souls. Stand in solidarity. Together, arm in arm with voices loud we shall all declare our freedom from mental slavery. Love shall prevail. Blessings all!

  • i love him <3 this song helps me get through hard times.

    only yourself can make us miserable .

  • Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom. Is all I ever had. Redemption songs.

  • We got to fufil the book

  • The 14 people who dislike this you are stupid people who don't know much about music.

  • PERFECTA.

  • So many people say they love Bob Marley but don't even listen to his music. It's a shame they don't even know how much more respect and love they can have for him.

  • @DMTpaulie i know. ill ask my friends if they llike him. and theyll start going off about how great he is. so ill play i song by him. and they say "Whos this jamaican joke?" or something. they dont know anything about music though.

  • @maxiliousine I think they like the idea of him more then what he was actually about. I have to admit if i were to here certain songs by him before i heard the ones i did i don't think i woulda got into him as much as i am, but you just gotta show em the right songs first then they can appreciate the rest of em

  • Comment removed

  • @sunshine9672 hear*/ try showing em chances are. thats my favorite song by em (:

  • @DMTpaulie hu?

  • @DMTpaulie Oh I see what you are saying. What I said still stands. I learned about Bob in college, in my history class. He was also a man of God.

    Actaully one can like Bob, but in order to love him, one has to undestand his music.

  • @sunshine9672 there ya go! I'm only 18 and I already found the secret to life on my own. Well with the help from my experiences, my observations, and bob.

  • I LOVE BOB! and this song is Epic

  • emancipate from the devils

  • hmmm wore out 3 of the bob marley legend discs!!! irie,,,,,,bob marley!!!!!!

  • I'm doing this for a school project

  • @MidnightRandom me too!

  • Probably my favorite BM song..

  • :)

  • whatever you do, NEVER NEVER NEVER listen to the Stevie Wonder cover of this song ....... to say he murders it is puting it lightly

  • @5ynthesizerpatel Better than Rihanna singing it.

  • @theman4130

    oh god yes!

  • @theman4130 f rihanna

  • I ove bob marley and it really pisses me off when u see alot of these kids wearing his shirts that have never listen to his music and all they no him is something to with weed even tho he is but he is also a music genius and no matter where u are in the world his music can bring everyone together.. Forever Bob Marley ( the dreadlock rasta)

  • @devilschildcof666 Your username provides some funny delicious irony. Also many may be ignorant of his wisdom and teachings and stuff but hey, they're free to wear whatever they want, be interested in whatever they want, etc etc etc.

  • @JerichoCross777

    apply that same logic to this situation. devilschildcof666 made an excellent point and has the right to his opinion. no need to start an argument. as hypocritical as that may sound coming from me after jumping in.

  • @SeanHeffernan It's best to just keep opinions to yourselves. Trust me, attempting to deal with one simple little argument will eventually lead to a series of never ending pages of pure irrational comments.

  • @devilschildcof666 does that include me? im 17 and have 2 shirts with him on, i listen to his music and pretty much most music genres and styles and have heard most of his albums and i dont really associate bob marley with weed, when i think of him or listen to his music i hear love, music that can heal and a man trying to bring the world towards unity. Or should i be put into the category of "these kids"?
