All right
We're jamming
I wanna jam it with you
We're jamming, jamming
And I hope you like jamming too
Ain't no rules, ain't no vow
We can do it anyhow
I and I will see you through
'Cause everyday we pay the price
We're the living sacrifice
Jamming 'til the jam is through
We're jamming
To think that jamming was a thing of the past
We're jamming
And I hope this jam is gonna last
No bullet can stop us now
We neither beg nor we won't bow
Neither can be bought nor sold
We all defend the right
Jah Jah children must unite
For life is worth much more than gold
We're jamming (jamming, jamming, jamming)
And we're jamming in the name of the Lord
We're jamming (jamming, jamming, jamming)
We're jamming right straight from yard
Singing
Holy Mount Zion
Holy Mount Zion
Jah sitteth in Mount Zion
And rules all creation
Yeah, we're
We're jamming (Bop-chu-waa)
Bop-chu-wa-wa-wa
We're jamming (Bop-chu-waa)
See,
I wanna jam it with you
We're jamming (jamming, jamming, jamming)
And Jamdown hope you're jamming too
Jah knows how much I've tried
The truth I cannot hide
To keep you satisfied
True love that now exists
Is the love I can't resist
So jam by my side
We're Jamming (jamming, jamming, jamming), yeah-eah-eah
I wanna jam it with you
We're jamming, we're jamming, we're jamming, we're jamming
We're jamming, we're jamming, we're jamming, we're jamming
Hope you like jamming too
We're jamming, we're jamming (jamming)
We're jamming, we're jamming (jamming)
I wanna (I wanna jam it with you) I wanna
I wanna jam with you now
We're jamming, we're jamming (hope you like jamming too)
And I hope you like jamming, I hope you like jamming
'Cause (I wanna jam it with you) I wanna jam it with you
I like, I hope you, I hope you like jamming too
I wanna jam it
I wanna jam it
In "Jamming," Bob Marley invites everyone to join in and have fun through music. The song begins with Marley suggesting that he and his listeners "jam" together, hoping that they will enjoy it too. He then establishes that there are no limitations or requirements for this jam session. He clearly states that he and his fellow Jamaicans will stand up for their rights and not be silenced by violence, preaching that life is more valuable than gold. The chorus is repeated, stressing the enjoyment and unity that music can bring.
Marley then emphasizes the importance of Zion, the spiritual homeland of Jamaica, as the place where Jah (God) reigns supreme. In the end, he talks about his love for his listeners and asks them to continue jamming with him.
The lyrics build on Marley's Rastafarian beliefs and the ideology of "One Love," which he promoted throughout his music. He emphasizes the importance of unity, love, and respect for one another, and the power of music in bringing people together. "Jamming" is a representation of the shared passion for reggae music, which is intertwined with the Jamaican culture and history.
