Rudeboy/Reporting Bob
Bob Marley initially didn't fully embrace Rasta culture; he was still clean-cut and suited, as was the style of rude boys of that era. But as the 60s rolled on all of that would change….Playlist: "Simmer Down" / "Rude Boy" / "Duppy Conqueror" / "Mr. Brown" / "Caution" / "Concrete Jungle" / "Burnin' and Lootin'" / "Johnny Was"Woman hold her head and cry;
Comforting her I was passing by.
She complained, then she cry:
Oh-ooh-wo-ah, cry (ah-ah), yeah, I know now (ah-ah),
No I know, I know now: (Johnny was a good man)
Said I know, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. (never did a thing wrong)
Ah! ah! (Johnny was a good man)

Lovers Rock Bob
Playlist: "Baby We Got a Date" / "Stir it Up" / "No Woman No Cry" / "Turn Your Lights Down Low" / "Waiting in Vain" / "Is This Love" / "Satisfy My Soul"Loving you is a like a song I replay
Every three minutes and thirty seconds of every day (uh, uh)
And every chorus was written for us to recite (right)
Every beautiful melody of devotion every night
It's potion like this ocean that might carry me
In a wave of emotion to ask you to marry me
And every word, every second, and every third
Expresses the happiness more clearly than ever heard (uh)

World Diplomat Bob
The messages from this era of Bob Marley are deeply powerful, and they are one large part of why he continues to be seen as an icon throughout the world.Playlist: "Zimbabwe" / "Africa Unite" / "Wake Up and Live" / "One Drop" / "Bad Card" / "We and Dem" / "Zion Train" / "Forever Loving Jah"To divide and rule could only tear us apart
In everyman chest, there beats a heart
So soon we'll find out who is the real revolutionary
And I don't want my people to be tricked by mercenaries
