He means we got to fulfill the Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey. No references to the "other" book are made in the song. When Marley sings "emancipate yourself from mental slavery" he is actually quoting Marcus Garvey. In November 1937 Garvey said, "we are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery for though others may free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind. Mind is our only ruler; sovereign." Watch the acoustic version of Redemption Song. When Bob Marley sings "we got to fulfill the book" it is Marcus Garvey's picture that is displayed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFGgbT_VasI Read the speech where Marcus Garvey says "we are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery" here: https://henriettavintondavis.wordpress.com/2010/03/24/redemption-song/ |
