I'm going to have to respectfully disagree based on the overall meaning and lyrics of the song. He's singing about the Rastafarian ethos - not taking yourself too seriously, always looking for the positive. It's an admonition not to be too proud of yourself, not to take things so seriously. Irie! I think the song is speaking to the world ("Everybody"), not three specific women. "Everybody's just crying sighing dying to see the light. And when they see it, they say it's not bright. Can this be right?" But in the end, we take out of all art what we want. And this is one of the best feel-good happy tunes ever written IMO. |

@[rob1077236:1315] And the meaning is pretty simple. Get over yourself. Life is good. Have a good time. Don't be pompous or too prideful. Chill. (Here, smoke this). |

Bahahahaha! "Is it an opulin, Iceland?" This is all over the internet. The correct lyric (with heavy Kingston accent) is "Ease it and happily, nicely, come down" What the hell is an opulin, Iceland? Bahahahhahahaha! |
