Poate nu chiar hip-hop, dar acest ARTIST a avut legaturi si cu oameni din hip-hop.
Damian Marley, nascut pe 21 iulie 1978 in Kingston, Jamaica, este un artist reggae castigator de Grammy si in acelasi timp cel mai tanar fiu al legendei muzicii reggae Bob Marley. Mama sa este Cindy Breakspeare, Miss World 1976.
Nickname-ul lui Damian este Junior Gong, care deriva din nickname-ul tatalui sau `Tuff Gong`.
La varsta de 13 ani si-a inceput cariera muzicala. Genul pe care il abordeaza el este `DeeJaying`, varianta jamaicana a rapului.
Pana in 2006, Damian Marley a lansat trei albume. Primul sau disc `Mr. Marley` a iesit pe piata in 1996, cel de-al doilea `Halfway Tree` in 2001, iar cel de-al treilea `Welcome To Jamrock` in septembrie 2005.
`Halfway Tree` i-a adus artistului premiul Grammy pentru cel mai bun album reggae in 2002, iar in februarie 2006 Damian Marley a mai primit doua premii Grammy pentru discul `Welcome to Jamrock` – care a fost ales cel mai bun album reggae si pentru melodia `Welcome to Jamrock` la categoria `Best Urban/Alternative Performance`.
La fel ca tatal si restul familiei Marley, Damian este adept al rastferian-ului (un curent religios) si-si ghideaza viata si muzica dupa principiile acestui curent: dragoste, o singura planeta si libertate pentru toata lumea.

And it was written
Up in the book of life
That a man shall
Endure forever more Well did you know the pen
Is stronger than di knife
And they can kill you once
But they cant kill you twice
Did you know destruction of di flesh is not di ending to life
Fear not of the anti-christ
Did you know that I
Exist before the earth
And did you know my eyes
Are windows to the world
Did you know you cant go ah Zion and ah wear jerry curls
Cant tell the boys from the girls
The bodys just a vehicle
Transporting the soul
Its whats inside the people
Is beauty to behold
Fear not of evil
Everyday dem flesh it grow old
Changes of the times take the toll
The one ya name, fear is in the eyes of di beholder
And love is in the presence of the love maker
Life is in the words of the comforter
Endure much longer
Live much longer
Fear is in the eyes of di beholder
And love is in the presence of the love maker
Life is in the words of the comforter
Endure much longer
Live much longer
A vest around his chest and Rastafari is his name
The gift of everlasting life for us to all sustain
Blessing that you all be got
Lessons taught you all forgot
Rasta call it shit you not
Do you remember Elijah
And his chariot of flames
Same blood that runs thru my veins The one ya name, fear is in the eyes of di beholder
And love is in the presence of the love maker
Life is in the words of the comforter
Endure much longer
Live much longer
Fear is in the eyes of di beholder
And love is in the presence of the love maker
Life is in the words of the comforter
Endure much longer
Live much longer
Careful how you entertain stranger
Selassie never born inna nuh manger
I’ll never crucify as me savior
Elect off himself inna the ruler
Babylon ah nah malfunction well dem a failure
So be careful of dem cellular and pager
Cause I sign see dem I see danger
So dem grateful Selaisse I pray to you
He did mi wanna lick upon shots
Upon a bloodclad
And fill the block with BOMRUSH cops
Cops mi dun talk you know you watch me walks in
While black woman is getting raped across New York And
Before another brother’s in chalk And
I ‘magine somebody said that’s your son dead, see him?
See us we do the crime we do the time
Y’all get away scott free
So police mi gonna pop you b’fore you pop me
Cause if you get me you got me you shot me
Know’ll lot me carry shotty since moms slap me
Cause my room sloppy
The youngest nigga out the camp is me
But nobody pampered me
So you better don’t ramp with me
Fi see me, me don’t play plenty
Chicks me blazed many
Raised plenty fi dollars
Storm upon mi prada
Watch a bomb holla
Watch ‘im run, hit the floor
Told ‘im come, come no
Throw ya ganja pon de air
‘plah!’
Watch for sticks and stones
Stumbling blocks in piles
Life is one big road
Miles on top of miles
So blessed be the soul
That always remains a child
When most people don’t even smile
There’s a natural mystic
Blowing tru the air
So keep it realistic
And always be aware
The truth is crying out
And it’s so loud and so clear
But most people won’t even hear
Spiritual pollution in the atmosphere
And with so much confusion
Can one be happy here
The gift of Rastafari is for all man to share
But some would rather to be so unfair

From Jungle to Rema
From Tivoli to Matthews Lane
From Waterhouse to Drewsland
From Payneland to Delacre
A youth and youth fi have a plan and have some ambition
And make sure unnu firm ina di Armageddon
So when you son become a man, him know just where you stand
Him know him poopa set it so him follow tradition
If Marcus Garvey say fi read then why some man ah pree
Cause knowledge ah the key and it wll set the people free
And Haile I philosophy is African unity
Unno watch dey segregation and social impurity
The race is not just for the swift but those who can endure
Make sure you have a steady footing in ah zion door
And keep dem thoughts dem pure, Jah love is for the poor
But some likkkle bwoy ah burst some gun dem mooma can’t afford
If Jah say blood fi run let Jah will be done
The heaven and the earth will pass away before him word no come
But if ‘I’m rise without a cause there will be no reward
For you to enter Zion gates because you are a fraud
For the youths in the struggle
Fighting Guerilla warfare
Somalia to Ethiopia
From Egypt to Zimbabwe
Haile Selassie say ah war if colour is a scar
If one from every nation can come live up an ah par
So don’t care who you are there’s a brighter morning star
It’s shining with di town and tell the people near and far
You seek and you will search with science and research
The flesh it is the temple and the temple is the church
Haile Selassie say fi work so how some man ah lurks
Dem fix upon the cornerside like rubbish heap and dirt
Haile Selassie say ah one respect for every man
No care dey race, no care dey colour nor di religion
So make a decision fi bun di division
Cause each and every rasta youth to trot pon di mission

Vexation of spirit is a waste of time


Negative thinking, don’t you waste your thoughts
Verbal conflict is a waste of word
Physical conflict is a waste of flesh
People will always be who they want
And that’s what really makes the world go round
Unconditional love is scarce
(“Till shiloh I shall not forsake thee”
Now and forever more
Forever more, forever more…
You see, you gave precious life to me
So I live my life for you…You…
You see, you’ve always been there for me
And so i’ll be there for you…You…
(“Till shiloh I shall not forsake thee”
Bless your eyes and may your days be long
May you rise on the morning when His kingdom come
Good deeds aren’t remembered in the hearts of men
(…..Oooooooh)
Bless your eyes and may your dreams come true
May you rise on the morning when Jah kingdom come
Good deeds aren’t remembered in the hearts of men
(“Till shiloh I shall not forsake thee”
Now and forever more
Forever more…
You see, you’ve always had faith in me
And so i’ll have faith in you…You…
You’ve always been there for me
And so i’ll be there for you…You…
Hey!
You’ve always been good to me
Even when i’m not good to myself
You’ve always been fair to me
Even when i’m not fair to myself
You’ve always done right by me
So I will do right by you…You…
(“Till shiloh I shall not forsake thee”
You’ve always been there for me, mama
So i’ll be there for you, papa
You’ve always been fair to me, brother
And so i’ll be fair to you, sister
You’ve always had faith in me
And so i’ll have faith in you…You..
You’ve always been good to me
You’ve always been to kind to me
You’ve always stood up for me
You’ve always been there for me
You’ve always been…oooooh
You’ve always been…oooooh
You always did care for me…yeh
You always did share with me…yeh
You always been true to me
And so i’ll be true to you…

Now I see them giving the woman abortion to kill another baby
Miscarriage and misfortune and premature crack baby
Strength of Ras Tafari I’m hoping someday maybe
They don’t obey parents, maybe they will obey me
Future for the babies
Hopes for the babies
Tommorrow for the babies
No sorrow for the babies
Babies having babies
Raising our babies
All of these young ladies
Give them thanks and praises
How long can she take it?
Dreams are full of ‘maybes’,
Will she ever make it?
Hustles on a daily
In the club she shake it, strip down ’till she naked
Don’t ever mistake it, Much too real to fake it
Need it then she’ll take it
She’ll do it for the babies
A mother’s love is sacred
Now you don’t you ever fail me A woman needs caring, sharing, love all the time (no don’t you ever fail me)
A child needs loving, caring…
Is there no other option than adoption for you babies
You’re raffling and jacketing and auctioning your babies
Strength of Ras Tafari I’m hoping someday maybe
They don’t obey their parents, maybe they will obey me
Cowards play the game thing
Fathers do the brave thing
And that’s participating
He keeps on concentrating
There is no debating
No running away thing
A new life is awakening, From his ejaculating,
It’s in the oven baking
Takes two for the making
He’s right there through the cravings
And early morning waking
School and educating
Sports and recreating, Karate and ballet thing
Teenager of today thing
Fathers still relating, still communicating
And they’ll always embrace him
Cause they cannot replace him And always do your very best to keep a promise to your babies
And if you can’t be good, at least be honest to your babies
The strength of Ras Tafari I’m hoping someday maybe
They don’t obey their parents maybe they will o…
History of the babies
Beginning of the ages
You’re flipping thru the pages
And up and thru the 80’s
Some are gang related, Drug affiliated
Some intoxicated, Headed for the snake pit
And Papa’s locked in cages
And Mama’s lacking wages
And this what they’re faced with, upon a daily basis
Bleaching out dem faces,
Running from dem races
Shooting up them places
Killing other babies
As bitter as the taste is, And words can not explain it
Just walk the narrow pavement
And of love not hatred

Some girl in the twinkling of an eye
Dem ah ready fi come pull down mi Karl Kani
Oh come on now
Tell me how can I
Love ah one dat really don’t deserve me
Natural fi keep and natural preserve me
Me is ah boy could get a whole heep ah girl ya heard me
Many are called but only few deemed worthy
Body have ta physically strong and sturdy
Spiritually balanced fi clean and purge me
Mentally advanced fi always urge me
Read couple books and challenge the clergy
Read a couple psalms up inna the morning early Could you be so kind
Then show me a sign
I’ve been searching and it’s so hard to find
Decent values with a decent wine
Decent jubee running it down the line
Maybe it’s my mind
Maybe I’m blind
Maybe it’s the way that I’ve been spending my time
I’m still searching for a fine peace of mind (piece of mine)
Decent jubee running it down the line
A little child has grown
And he’s got love on his mind
But what he’ll never know
A virtuous woman is hard to find
And dat’s when she said
She feels the pain
And she’ll never fall
In love again
So if you is a gyal with whole heep of value
What a valuable nice and decent gyal you
When I get you I’ll be glad I got you
Then stand firmly inna your life like statue
Seen some old tings seen some young tings
Seen some little silly go and come tings
Seen some one night just for fun tings
What a indecent piece ah some ting
Be so kind
Den show me a sign
I’ve been searching and it’s so hard to find
Decent values with a decent wine
Decent jubee running it down the line
Maybe it’s my mind
Maybe I’m blind
Maybe it’s the way that I’ve been spending my time
I’m still searching for a fine peace of mind (piece of mine)
Decent jubee running it down the line
Some say that love is blind
But he keep saying
Not this time
So all he need is love
To keep his heart in line You have some gyal ah come pon man premises
And ah fling up the ting that’s between di knees
And ah full up man head with false promises
Oh dutty bungle please
couldn’t want to run that so fast wid ease
been there dun that my main squeeze is natural
simply natural
Cause that’s when she said she’s feeling pain
It seems they have fallen in love again
That’s when she said
Lord I feel the pain
And now they’re standing in love again So tell me ah when price tag gone pon annany
Gyal ah love man for Benz and Ferrari
Little one eyed brethren weh name Omari
Couldn’t get no loving since him start sell stary
Some girl in the twinkling of an eye
Dem ah ready fi come pull down mi Karl Kani
Oh come on now
Tell me how can I
Love ah one dat really don’t deserve me
martie 7th, 2009 at 11:22
Hey girl!
The way you make me feel
I know your love is real
You satisfy my every want and need
Hey boy!
You’re always on my mind
We need to spend more time
Cause no one else can touch my heart inside She look so good in her clothes
She get dressed and roll
So much man a fly down, Call the pest control
Confident princess, She address them bold
She nah manifest, Fi them sexual goal
She wish them the best, Rasta bless them soul
Her mouth nuh filthy, Like nuh cess tank pool
Smarter than most intellectual fools
Weh spend them time pon internet chat rooms
She said, “Junior you’re a genius
You think with your mind and not your penis
Your gang of Jamaican Al Pacinos
Drinking Blue Mountain cappuccinos.”
Will I say, “Baby you’re the cleanest
The true definition of what my queen is
Nothing could’ve ever really come between us
Share the same room and Jah will feed us.”
Why mi love her fi all she’s worth
Sitn’ fi gwan she wi start it first
Wheel and pop off, Supn’ outta she purse
Whole heap a fool have to start disperse
Police ah come you see how fast she splurt
Can’t find no sign of she khaki skirt
Light up the place like we spark these herbs
Love watch the way that she gwan
When a big tune a play pon the dance-hall set
Selector rewind every chance them get
The rhythm design fi she dance and sweat
All when morning ashine she nuh start dance yet
Man clear the line when she walk and step
But she nah pay no mind to remarks them mek
Always on time take a chance and bet
She’s a fine piece of mind with right mindset
She said, “Junior you’re a genius
You think with you’re mind and not you’re peanuts
Your gang of Jamaican Al Pacinos
Drinking Blue Mountain cappuccinos.”
I say, “Baby you’re the cleanest
The true definition of what my queen is
Nothing could’ve ever really come between us
Share the same room and Jah will feed us.”
Animal you never know from you born
Places you only see when travel channel tun on
Our means of trans-p is when the camel run on
Camouflage and fatigue is our style and fashion
“Fliminitti” weh she have and that is the attraction
What she want is what she get and that is satisfaction
Well she want it all night and not just fi a fraction
Well too much long talking now a time fi action
Well she love fi spend money but she rather spend time
And if mi gone fi ten minute, She call me ten time
If mi nuh pick up then she panic
Then she call mi friend line
Cause she want the veteran fi come and bend up her spine
A substantial amount of African fly squat
I have to sip a roots and bun a one night cap
And she love the veteran, him always hit the right spot
And the way she feel so good
I have to bounce right back

Jah will be waiting there, We a shout!
Jah will be waiting there In this world of calamity
Dirty looks and grudges and jealousy
And police weh abuse dem authority
Media clowns weh nuh know ’bout variety
Boom!
The youngest veteran a go murder dem slow
Ragga muffin sent to call me from the bush bungalow
Unnu watch mek I clear out my voice now Figaro!
Emerge from the darkness with mi big blunt a glow
Mi hammer dem a slam and spectator get low
Some bwoy coulda big like Bam Bam Biggalow
Bust of trigger finger, trigger hand and trigger toe
A two gun mi have mi bust dem inna stereo
Cause
[Hook]
I got to keep on walking on the road to Zion, man
We gots to keeps it burning on the road to Zion, man
Clean and pure meditation without a doubt
Don’t mek dem take you like who dem took out
Jah will be waiting there we a shout

In this world of calamity
Dirty looks and grudges and jealousy
And police weh abuse dem authority
Media clowns weh nuh know bout variety
Single parents weh need some charity
Youths weh need some love and prosperity
Instead of broken dreams and tragedy
By any plan and any means and strategy

(Yeah, yeah)
You know (They know)
We got to keep on walking on the road to Zion, man
(Yeah you gotta keep walking y’all,
You gotta keep…
Sometimes I can’t help but feel helpless
I’m havin daymares in daytime
Wide awake try to relate
This can’t be happenin like I’m in a dream while I’m walkin
Cause what I’m seein is haunting
Human beings like ghost and zombies
President Mugabe holding guns to innocent bodies
In Zimbabwe
They make John Pope seem Godly
Sacrilegious and blasphemous
In my lifetime I look back at paths i’ve walked
Where savages fought and pastors taught
Prostitutes stomp in high heel boots
And badges screaming,”Young black children stop or I will shoot!”
I look back at cooked crack
Plus cars that pass by
Jaguars mad fly
And I’m guilty for materialism
Blacks is still up in the prison Trust that
So save me your sorries, I’m raising an army
Revolutionary warfare with Damian Marley
We sparkin’ the ions, marching to Zion
You know how Nas be NYC state of mind I’m in
got to keep on walking on the road to Zion, man
We gots to keeps it burning on the road to Zion, man
Clean and pure meditation without a doubt
Don’t mek dem take you like who dem took out
Jah will be waiting there we a shout
Jah will be waiting there Clean and pure meditation without a doubt
Don’t mek dem take you like who dem took out
Jah will be waiting there we a shout
Jah will be waiting there!
In this world of calamity
Dirty looks and grudges and jealousy
And police weh abuse dem authority
Media clowns weh nuh know bout variety
Single parents weh need some charity
Youths weh need some love and prosperity
Instead of broken dreams and tragedy
By any plan and any means and strategy
Instead of broken dreams and tragedy
Youths weh need some love and prosperity

Ay! say,

I got to keep on walking on the road to Zion, man
