“My philosophy is: if you don’t bear a cross, you can’t wear a crown so you gotta go through some form of humiliation to reach tribulation.”

I mean the flesh, never fade! The flesh never leave the creation, see, because with that divine spirit the flesh cannot fade. If the spirit is weak then the flesh fade, seen?

My earthly parents don’t know my potential or my divine qualities. They weren’t taught how to diagnose or be aware of such things.

Me is what them call illegitimate, that mean say me is a criminal, bomba rassclaat! That’s why me go write a song called ‘Illegitimate Children.’ It took me years to find out I was one.

People go to school and get educated, but most people who go to school and become a graduate in eduation still don’t know what the word ‘education’ means. ‘Educo’ means to bring out.

I was taught that Jesus the Son of God was a white man, and hearing black people singing, ‘Lord, wash me, and I will be whiter than snow,’ made me sick.

Soon the earth will tilt on its axis and begin to dance to the reggae beat to the accompaniment of earthquake.

I’ve got to pick myself up Dust myself off And start all over again.

People are beginning to recognize reggae music, and know it’s a very powerful music, and researchers have been researching and coming up with reports that it’s a great music, a healing music.

My job is to be the constructive awakener of the black masses of the world so them know themself and others know what black people suppose to be and where.

When I go to other planet, I must adjust myself there, too.

I do nothing I regret, man, because I try to do nothing abominable. As long as there is not an abomination, there is nothing to regret, you understand?

Because everyone who try a-go to church, and they were trying to teach but they weren’t teaching, they was brainwashing. Since I would never call that teaching.

My mother and father didn’t know anything about instruments. Me just see a man in the country play guitar one time and say, ‘My, the man play that guitar nice.’

Legalize it, and I will advertise it.

If I wasn’t a singer, I’d be a bloodclaat revolutionary.

Is word, sound, and power that break down de barriers of oppression an drive away transgression and rule equality.

Forgive yourself for what you wished you would have said but didn’t say when they crossed a line.

When I found I had crossed that line, I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything.

In truth,there was only one christian and he died on the cross.

Our goal is not to build a platform; it’s to be cross all of them.

Don’t let bridges you cross be bridges you burn.

I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.

I’ve noticed that even people who believe in fate look both ways before crossing the street.

If a black cat crosses your path, it signifies that the animal is going somewhere.
