Cover art for Hey Baby lyrics by Stephen Marley

Yah of course it's about a guy who is telling his girl to hold on and wait for him. He has to do what he has to do first to become a better man and fulfill his destiny even though it's hard on their relationship. I LOVE this song because I've been in a long distance relationship for so long. He's in med school and I'm applying to grad school in a few months and we don't even live on the same continents. Nobody would understand us. But we love each other so much. And if we focus on ourselves right now we will be stronger when we are together. That's how I feel. And that's how I think he felt when he wrote this song. He had to do what he had to do before he could be with his girl.
