I’ve witnessed first hand the adoration for the cool ruler in his homeland and it’s not difficult to understand just why he was loved so much; he just soothes the pain away. Top cut on his second full length, “Help Us Get Over”, was first out as a 7″ in 1975 before settling down to live on the album.
“Jah Jah please help us to get over, This life we live in misery, All that I see along my journey, each day, My people are brand with poverty, So many of them out there starving, Searching to find a bite to eat, So many of them without shelter, yeah, yeah, And some nuh get shoe upon their feet, So tell us how long will it take to get over, This life we live in misery, ‘Cause all that we see along the journey, My people are brand with poverty, yeah”
