He shares, along with most of his family, a full-time career in music. Unlike his brothers and sisters, however, his musical specialty is "toasting", a Jamaican vocal technique that is a predecessor to rapping.
Damian has 3 records to date, including the highest placed reggae album in the USA billboard album charts with Welcome To Jamrock, and the highest place reggae song in the UK Top 40 with Welcome to Jamrock.
Like his father before him and the rest of the Marley family, he is a Rastafarian and his music reflects the Rastafari guiding principles of love and political freedom.

Damian Marley Lyrics
Me hear say A man a look a breakfast
Hear say ghetto youth dem a set up shop
Gong to the zilla and me di yeah on the hill without a question
Love in the street like a pedestrian
If you love yourself then my suggestion

And every man a fi make cash
And hold it stead fast, give it you best shot

We need more positive songs like this one. Maintaining your independence through entrepreneur endeavors, regardless of the industry, allows new opportunities of financial freedom (provided you manage your business the correct way). Damien is on another level with this.

Junior Walker i dont know much , but i can say this :
Money is our leader now X’(
Saedriq Muhrai
Agree. The liberation mechanism must be acquired and tied to the intentional approach to our economics.

Loving this song for so long, just really watching the video and seeing my dad such a shocker, i love this video even more.

Set up shop means to start your own business, either as a individual Entrepreneur, or collectively with a group. This is what the Honorable Marcus Preached and practiced during his travels, it's called "Self Reliance".
