"Is This Love" by ボブ・マーリー & The Wailers is a heartfelt love song that delves into the depths of the singer's emotions. The lyrics express a deep desire to love and treat someone right, every day and every night. The singer wants to share a roof over their heads and a single bed, where they can both find shelter and comfort. The song's message is clear: the singer wants to know if the love he's feeling is real and reciprocated.
The lyrics are infused with the concept of "Jah," which is short for "Jahovah" and is a term that Bob Marley and other Rastafarians use to refer to God. Jah is seen as a provider and a protector, and the singer acknowledges the importance of having Jah in their lives.
The song's repetitive and catchy chorus emphasizes the singer's yearning for love and the need to know whether the love he's feeling is genuine. The song is a classic of reggae music and a testament to Bob Marley's ability to imbue simple lyrics with profound meaning.

If she's amazing, she won't be easy.
If she's easy, she won't be amazing.
If she's worth it, you won't give up.
If you give up, you're not worthy.
...
Truth is,
everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.
-Bob Marley

Thry tried to kill this man multiple times, assasins shot him, eventually it was "cancer"
Bullsht, it was probably poison, bruce lee too.... "cancer" his son? Shot from a real bullet filming a movie, they "forgot" to check the gun properly.....
Bruce and his family made Chinese mafia mad these are all easily googled facts by the way...
How you finna not check a gun on a massive movie stars movie set? Hows a real bullet make it on set?
Come on...
Kennedy and Marley? Probably CIA....
Marley started the first big black name in showbiz sure there were priors in jazz but Marley had the real rasta island real un American brainwashed black man...
And that scared them. Like Bruce scared his opponents. Epstein scared them. Theyre here. Watch what you say and do outside your homes as tempting as it is to be a revolutionist it has risks. At home? Defend it with physicality if need be. Practice striking offense and defence and wrestling offence and defence. I live in Toronto Canada no guns allowed only Gangsters carry them illegaly here so I leave long strong poles around the house......
A long life ia desire able. Healthy one. I'm not saying be a mute but find that balance of voice and defensiveness.
Bless. 100. ➕
