First of all, it is a Bob Marley song. But the lyrics are changed slightly for the Fugees version. What is funny is how they mention both "Jersey" and "Trenchtown," inadvertently leading some to believe that Trenchtown (really the name of a ghetto in Kingston, Jamaica, where Marley was from) was the nickname for Trenton, NJ. (lol) Especially since the Fugees used to live in Newark, NJ.
Good cover song, though. I actually heard this version before I ever heard the original.
