I want the people who listen to my music to feel the feeling that I feel, to cry the cry that I cry – justice. I want them to feel in their hearts the need for justice.
The sun is always shining. We have oxygen, trees, birds. There’s so much good things on Earth, still. We haven’t destroyed everything.
My father was interested in bringing reggae music to the entire world.
Doing something that is productive is a great way to alleviate emotional stress. Get your mind doing something that is productive.
People treat you according to your energy or what you put out there, so what I put out there is very open. I’m not paranoid or scared, I’m open. That’s how I treat people, with respect and speak truthfully.
If religion had a good purpose, then man would have created something great. But we’re man: we mess up everything. We mess up nature. We mess up God. We take what is given to us and make it into what we think it should be.
Fitness has always been one of the top priorities in my life because that’s the way I grew up, with soccer being the sport of choice.
I have a satellite radio show called ‘The Legends of Reggae.’ It’s a cool way to branch out and do other things. I’m paying respect to the legends of reggae.
Children are the world’s future, and we need to take care of them like we would any precious resource.
I’m into anything that really helps children.
Success means different things to different people. To me, the greatest quality of successful human beings is the ability to love.
I can feel my father’s spirit within me. I can feel similarities within us from the artistic perspective from being a musician. We have a lot of similarities.
I learned from my father that music is from God and the message is from God.
As an artist, I feel that my father’s biggest influence is me realizing that music has a purpose and it’s not just for business and that music is spiritual. I get that from him that music is a spiritual thing.
I’m not Catholic, I’m not Orthodox and I wouldn’t even say Rastafarian, that still divides people, I don’t want to divide people so anything that I say is something that must be so big and great that it did encompass everyone and it’s love.
People are loving me because they don’t even know me. “You’re Bob’s son. We love you.” So I think that’s a good thing for a father to leave so much that people are loving their children. I’m proud of that.
I am not trying to be better than my father. I am not trying to be like him. I am just trying to be myself and express myself how I feel.
I’m a spiritual musician, I think there has been enough political musicians and I think everything that can be said has been said about political, social things, you know, and there’s still some more to be said but not much.
I am freely able to express myself honestly to the public without trying to polish it over, trying to hide something. I’m just trying to be free with my expression.
We still have to evolve, that’s how we’re created, we’re created to evolve so you can believe in that the answer is in this book or in this one idea that the masses most believe in, each individual must evolve themselves, spiritually and consciously.
Things like lack of leadership and a lack of the willingness to evolve, they’re so used to keeping people within the constraints of the idea that has been the same idea for a thousand years.
