Must get paid! the longer they wait the more they have to pay I and I. then i will give them a loan to fix their problem. lol

This song slave driver is not talking about police,it's talking about those white slave masters that brought africans on boats to jamaica as slaves.Look into the history of the jamaica and the rest of the caribbean and you will find out how africans got to the caribbean as slaves.He was bashing those whites that were the slave masters in the song,so stop trying to twist the song,because you know he is talking about those dirty ass white people.LMAO

Slave Driver is the published title for this song. The title of the album is Catch a Fire which derrives from the second line in the first stanza of the song

@nkako007 so what Bob's manager is white. you know good and well that these music producers don't give a damn what you say as long as your making them lots of money duh lol. when you tell the truth the truth hurts. and another thing since when is telling the truth races. what Bob is talking about in this songs actually happened so don't get mad at me get mad at your precious Bob Marley for saying these things about whites. your white ancestors actually did enslave blacks on slave ships .

[hitthedeck245]

[nattynativekid17]

@nkako007 shut up. his dad was white too, but Bob obviously didn't give a fuck. he still directed this song towards white crakka jackas

[GregInBk]

i remember working in construction and having this song cued up for the end of the day.

oh and the reason they mention the name of the album is simple. this is the title track, the name of this song is listed on the album as Catch A Fire. they made a mistake and posted the name wrong.

[RonaldVaughan]

Note how this song cleverly mentions the

album title..."Catch A Fire" in the lyrics...

Good triumphs over evil...THE TABLES ARE

TURNED!!
