Zimbabwe
Bob Marley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
And in this judgment there is no partiality
So arm in arms with arms
We'll fight this little struggle
'Cause that's the only way
We can overcome our little trouble
Brother, you're right, you're right
You're right, you're right, you're so right
We gon' fight (we gon' fight)
We'll have to fight (we gon' fight)
We gonna fight (we gon' fight)
Fight for our rights
Natty dread it inna (Zimbabwe)
Set it up in (Zimbabwe)
Mash it up-a inna Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe)
Africans ah liberate (Zimbabwe), mh
No more internal power struggle
We come together to overcome the little trouble
Soon we'll find out who is the real revolutionary
'Cause I don't want my people to be contrary
And, brother, you're right, you're right
You're right, you're right, you're so right
We'll have to fight (we gon' fight)
We gonna fight (we gon' fight)
We'll have to fight (we gon' fight)
Fighting for our rights
Mash it up inna (Zimbabwe)
Natty trash it inna (Zimbabwe)
Africans ah liberate Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe)

You're right, you're right, you're so right
We gon' fight (we gon' fight)
We'll have to fight (we gon' fight)
We gonna fight (we gon' fight)
Fighting for our rights
To divide and rule could only tear us apart
In every man chest, mh, there beats a heart
So soon we'll find out who is the real revolutionaries
And I don't want my people to be tricked by mercenaries
Brother, you're right, you're right
You're right, you're right, you're so right
We'll have to fight (we gon' fight)
We gonna fight (we gon' fight)
We'll have to fight (we gon' fight)

Every man got a right to decide his
own destiny, as the opening line of Bob Marley's song Zimbabwe suggests. The song is a call for unity and resistance against colonialism and oppression. The lyrics are a rallying cry for Africans, encouraging them to take up arms and fight for their rights. Marley acknowledges the struggle ahead, but he is confident that they will overcome their problems by working together, arm in arm.
The song highlights the importance of solidarity and coming together in the face of an oppressor. Marley sings that as soon as they find out who the real revolutionaries are, they will overcome any power struggle, and the people of Zimbabwe will be liberated. He warns against being tricked by mercenaries and encourages people to stand up for their rights. The song ends with a repetition of the lines "Natty trash it inna Zimbabwe, Mash it up inna Zimbabwe, Africans ah liberate Zimbabwe," cementing the message of unity, pride and determination to fight against oppression.

@kountzer
I work in a dmv type office. I was helping this applicant switch his license from Massachusetts to Texas. I asked him where he's from and he said Zimbabwe. Soon as he said that I started singing "mash it up in a Zimbabwe, set it up in a Zimbabwe". I had not thought about that song in a long time. He knew the song. We both agreed it is a great song by a great artist. When I went on break I went out to my car, pulled up this video on youtube and listened to this song again. It brings back a lot of memories. This in January 4, 2019 btw. I am an African American and a born Texan, USA. I doubt If I will ever visit Africa except vicariously through songs like this and other artistic expressions.
@ironbuddha108
You should go and visit Africa! They still LOVE Bob over there. You'll probably hear some of his songs never released in the USA...
@akinyiolang4943
Much love and respect

I was very lucky to have seen Bob Marley perform this song at our Independence’s Day…April,18 th 1980
@kountzer
@@andrew9157Nice. Respect.
@rickysword3945
I think we should travel as much as we can… especially to understand our roots. I’m a white Italian so my roots are here in Italy but I want to explore America (USA have a great influence on modern cultures so American roots somehow are my roots too) and Japan (they also had a big impact on me). I’d love to go to Mother Africa where we all come from but I’m a little afraid because of wars…
@legbreaker
This should be Zimbabwe’s national anthem..provided by the master himself..
What more do you want..
