Cover art for 400 Years lyrics by Bob Marley and the Wailers

being part jamaican and growing up with this music...my mother is from the parish of manchester, the city of mandeville (look it up!)...bob marleyfan90 is in the right. it is a song that clearly refrences the 400 year captivity of isreal by babylon and also the 400 years of silence between God and His people. Also, it is a song of social criticism. so before u go and make judgment on another, clearly look into yourself and understand that if one enjoys the music and feels good after hearing it, leave them be. -brian
