Ziggy Marley - Babylon System - Italy June 1991

[eldaddyFrancisco]

people... stop to do comparison between Bob marley's sons ... they are musican and they are not a clone of Bob Marley... but some characteristics of his father, had to inherit. or something someone of you do not inherit something from his father???, color of eyes, some trait or some jester??

[KiNGFuA]

ziggy sucks... every one of bob's children had not the talent nor the vision their father had. all of them sold his music out to profit from it. bob was not perfect, but trust me "the lion" did not make his music for monetary gain. that joker was definitely inspired from on high to make such amazing music. that's why the rest of the marley family can't figure out how to compose such inspired lyrics.

[sojahseh88]

@KiNGFuA whats ur problem...ziggy, stephen, julian, damian, kymani, all make good music and their father would be proud of what they've done with his music and their own

[Givethanksforlife]

wake up my israel

[SamyRomafia]

Fantastico

[jeustor]

Great song..Great performance..sad and ironic though you know, Bob Marley ended his relationship with the wailers over money...the Marley family be living good now on his money, so Ziggy knows no suffering now. Good that he can sing it, but when Bob wrote it...he meant it cause he felt it and knew it.....the Babylon system is a vampire...

[sojahseh88]

@jeustor many people dont know this but the Marleys are a regular family. There wasn't a whole lot of money left to them from Bob because he wrote no will. The children may not have struggled as much as their Father but they still struggled. Besides we know not what these children of Bob Marley have been through so let's not try to act like we know everything about them

[jeustor]

@sojahseh88 Understood sister (or brother). I like the Marley family and their music, and what Micheal Franti did with them as well. Blessings to them and you...

[Jonas80111]

one love all Marleys and this marleys this time not on this earth is.

[TheArcher85]

TELL THE CHILDREN THE TRUTH!!!

[Kimland1]

Ziggy,

Jah love mon. Bob looks at you and smiles mon. Step up pon your brothers and share the insight man, them a disappoint I and I rastamon ... them a take them holiest of teacher's music and put junk atop in this new thing them a call wot ... Rap? What mon, Rastamon Chant in a rap with no attachment to what mon se? To that Bob is not just unhappy ... Teacher is sad, and this be pain in all Rastafari. But you mon be good. Jah bless that you continue a walk in the light ... Itinualy.

[sojahseh88]

@Kimland1 hip hop isnt junk..its like reggae..it's all in the message....open ur mind bredren

[Kimland1]

@sojahseh88 , non against hip hop from here, but let artists do their own thing in that style. Or at least show respect to iconic productions if they are to use them. Look for item h4vFmysnj04 to see what I speak against - jump to about 1:10 minute marker on that number.

'We refuse to be, what ya wanted us to be, We aew what we are"

[rootman09]

merci fils zyggy. Bien sûr on ne te comparera pas à ton père, personne n'est comparable à Bob.

Maintenant que nous avons dévisagé le vampire, devons-nous nous contenter à le dénoncer?

[smilingdata]

Yeah mon. Punch the Bamboclaat babylon system in the ballz !

-Data (:-p

[tavorodriguez]

That is the way that is going to be... people freedom and liberty!

[Libertarian555]

Babylon system is the vampire, yea! (vampire)

Suckin' the children day by day, yeah!

Me say: de Babylon system is the vampire, falling empire,

Suckin' the blood of the sufferers, yea-ea-ea-ea-e-ah!

Building church and university, wo-o-ooh, yeah! -

Deceiving the people continually, yea-ea!

Me say them graduatin' thieves and murderers;

Look out now: they suckin' the blood of the sufferers (sufferers).

Yea-ea-ea! (sufferers)

zionists not jews

[br0wnb3rry]

the ultra rich.

[marianstofanik]

good, but father s version is better

[boomshel23]

No question about that. I don't think it's humanly possible for a better version than the album version.

[GonejaDash]

true but he never played it live and this version is nearly as good.

[cornejocastelforte]

i got out of jail a couple of hours ago here in miami, a jamaican guy inside there was talking about the babylon system, i came home and i found this beautiful song...... they put me behind bars for supposedly pushing a police officer which was a lie! i was innocent but the babylon system drag me down.

[Marleyites]

Welcome home, Cornejo! So many innocents behind bars. Charles Lynch sentenced today to 1 year + 1 day in CA fed court - after Obama & Holder both stated to the public that US changed marijuana policy - no more resources spent to jail medical marijuana users or suppliers. That's the public face. Private face, when asked by the judge, AG wrote: "no change in policy". US attorney wanted Lynch to get at least 5 yrs. I'm glad you're out, again, welcome home. Listen to Bob, chill & fight for freedom!

[TheBrownTies]

free mark emery!!

[jangster39]

awesome!!!!!!

[NestaRastaRevolution]

One of Bob's most powerful songs. I wish Bob would have performed it live.

"We refuse to be what you wanted us to be, we are what we are:

That's the way it's going to be if you don't know!"

[br0wnb3rry]

the demo versions is sweet

[adande81]

this song is on the survival album

[huntman1412]

survival is the best bob marley album by far imo. babylon system, survival, one drop--songs of truth!!

[mykalroze]

One of the best Bob Marley and the Wailers songs, and no, it won't be found on the Legend compilation. People need to really delve into the Wailers music. I think while Legend helped popularize the Wailers music, it also did the music a disservice. They were stripped of their rebellious, pro-black, pro-Rasta stances, especially Bob and made nice and smooth, easy to swallow.

[chipi403625]

congratulation video

[unique543]

wow I was 1 years old

[KJRolling]

'Babylon System' is featured on January the 7th in The Song For Today', written by Jimmie Oliver.

[matitof]

Universities are vampires!

[vlunkk]

I bet his father is proud of him for performing especially this song.

[cheranguista]

very nice ziggy, hope he comes to Puerto Rico soon

[ChainsmokingPothead]

babylon system is the vampire for real

[ludy399]

stop the gossip

Talkin' 'bout my freedom,

People freedom (freedom) and liberty!

Yeah, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long:

Rebel, rebel!

[NimmdenNamen]

[kdorg79]

Wow! He sounds just like his father!

[RICKANOV]

thats damian marley not ziggy damian is class but damian does sound just like his dad

[desswa]

JohnSmith1925, do not mix the truth with deceit, because then you accept one you accept the other as well and that is the greatest defeat

[GonejaDash]

Bob's personal love life has nothing to do with his artwork. JohnSmith. taking hate to bob marley is a losing battle on every front.

[steffduff]

riddim wise, spread wisdom & love

[JohnSmith1925]

I wonder if Bob Marley wrote this while the almost white Miss World SIN-dy Breakespeare, who paraded herself around half naked in Babylon beauty competitions, was fellating him.

[kdorg79]

Bob Marley was human, just like everyone else with his own shortcomings. I've always been able to separate the message from the man. The message is what matters, not the man.If it becomes about the man, then the whole point of his message is lost.

[kingfoxIII]

Even Shelomoh(solomon) in all his wisdom fell to the likes of women.

[shockavelli]

check the bible almost all the prophet had more than one wife..includin solomon

[truthseeker010101]

@shockavelli "it is for a man to have one wife,and a woman one husbad" Paul the apostile What bible are you reading? LOL

[YoOoO0893]

@shockavelli And that's good ? really sad comment

[RayTheRasta]

@shockavelli It's true.

[UniversalBrother108]

WE REFUSE TO BE WHAT YOU WANTED US TO BE , WE ARE WHAT WE ARE , THATS THE WAY ITS GOING TO BE!

Chant Down Babylon!

God will Strike down the Babylon system in OUR lifetime no fears,no worries, Only love!

[LionBallz]

RasTa Far EYE!

[zacateta]

Fantastic performance...

[Blaise900]

umm did u just dis on christianity leodan? cuz apperently both bob marley and ziggy disagree, with bob changing the lyrics of get up stand up becuase he respected other peoples religeons, and ziggy said in shalom salaam "children are children no matter color or FAITH"

[LionBallz]

He only changed it because he was forced to change it... You know how Label execs do..

[DOWE4]

christianity was created by a man not the creator they know about the creator throgh the ysraelitesa who went over to europe. christianity is the most paganistic religion they contradict every thing in the book alot of them eat swine,celebrate christmas,easter,ash wednesday and so on all of these are paganistic practices, the creator never said dec 25 was suppose to be celebrated as the birth of yashuah,ps jesus christ was cerated does not exist. they dont keep the sabbath

[leodan1973]

So true, so true, we all need to speak out against this modern babylon system that is leading us all to a death pit. We need to follow our hearts, we need to suffer along with our poor brothers and sisters. Use little, , reuse, recycle, help the poor. Preach the word of Almighty God Jah, Jehova of Armies. Rebel with your words with your songs. thank you for posting this video. May the undeserved kindness be with you in the name Jesus, amen.

[UniversalBrother108]

Amen Brotha, The babylon system is the root of all human problems, humans need to unite and use the resources of the Earth for food/clothing/shelter (all produceable with Ganja ) Instead of pouring the wealth of the world in nuclear technology /military technology. Weve been doing this war thing for too long, Down with the Babylon war machine! Long Live Rastafari!

[DOCNZ]

This is off the hook!!!!
