"history teaches us of the rise and fall of nations, races and empires. Rome fell in her majesty; Greece fell in her triumph: Babylon, Assyria, Carthage, Prussia, the German Empire-- all fell in their pomp and power; the french Empire fell from the sway of the great Napoleon, from the domination of the indomitable Corsican soldier. As they fell in the past, so will nations fall in the present age, and so will they fall in the future ages to come, the result of their unrighteousness.
I repeat, I warn the world, and I trust you will receive this warning as you go into the four corners of the earth. The white race should teach humanity. Out there is selfishness in the world. Let the white teach humanity first, because we have been following the cause of humanity for three hundred years, and we have suffered much. If a change must come, it must not come from Negroes; it must come from the white race, for they are the ones who have brought us this estrangement between the races."
-Marcus Garvey, 1921

“The negro, spoil’d of all that nature gave
To freeborn man, thus shrank into a slave;
His passive limbs, to measured tasks confined,
Obey’d the impulse of another mind;
A silent, secret, terrible control,
That ruled his sinews, and repress’d his soul.
Where’er their grasping arms the spoilers spread,
The negro’s joys, the negro’s virtues fled.”
- Jamaica : Enslaved and free
here comes trouble, here comes the danger,
sent by the savior, welcome the rasta youths,
I&I start the recruit, soldiers for selassie I army.

"Some say that in the song, I am thanking Jah for the herb, . Note well, I never mentioned marijuana explicitly. I am not an advocate for marijuana addiction or for its use by children. In fact, I don’t think that marijuana, like alcohol, cigarettes and other similar substances, is for everyone. However, outside of the use of substances prescribed or not, I do believe that some sort of meditation - calm, peace, moments with self, a period of unity between one’s body and mind - must be there to reflect on the day’s objectives."
