We were not forced to populate the world through incest. That is the first Elite line. Caine feared the Natural spirit of the other so god his father marked his forehead with a curse. Anyone who killed Caine was sure to die. The curse fell upon his own grand son. Life is the fruits of the Natural Spirit. Not death chaos and war.

[@katdyer85]

Amen sister! I completely and fully agree, we all come from Africa originally, and black people was the first people on this earth, this is what pisses me off about white racist people. We all the same under our skin and we all bleed the same red blood. Some people don't want to believe that Jesus was brown, he was born in a hot country so doesn't make sense him being white to burn up every day lol. We need more open minded people on this earth that does research and study's about the earths history and then they would shut their mouth and stop being racist lol.

As a white boy, Africa isn't my mama. But she is my grandma. I close my eyes and smell her while listening to this. Africans have to be my most favorite cousins. Hard for me to believe that it was already 30 years ago since I was there. My Rasta roommate/friend used to play this album every day the year it came out and we used to dream of going to Jamaica. Miss you Nibs. RIP.

This song, and Peter Tosh, got me through some *very* dark times personally in the 80s when I was a teen and young adult. This song always spoke to me deeply, despite being a a northern euro trapped on stolen lands (Canada). This is such a great and stirring rendition made with such joy and love. Brought tears to my eyes, I am not ashamed to admit. Thank you so much for this. I needed this so much to keep going once again, all these years later.
