"Exodus," a song by Bob Marley, is an anthem for the movement of Jah's people. The lyrics speak about the purposeful travel of Jah people to reach their Fathers land to escape Babylon, the place of corruption and oppression. These lyrics are a central theme in Marley's messages, which advocated for equality, love, and respect for one another. The opening lines of the song emphasize that people will fight against you when they recognize God's light within you. However, if you are not doing anything wrong, then everything will be alright. The Jah people will walk through the roads of creation and trod through great tribulations.
The chorus of the song repeats "Exodus, movement of Jah people, oh yeah," signifying the removal of God's people from slavery and oppression. Marley sings of another Moses, the same Moses that led the Jews out of slavery in Egypt, leading Jah people from Babylon to their long-awaited freedom. The lyrics encourage people to open their eyes, look within, and examine their lives. People need to recognize that they are not satisfied with Babylon, the place of corruption and oppression. They know where they are going, they know where they are from, and they will keep moving towards the Fatherland.

Psalms
Chapter 91
1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Bob Marley said when people bring you down this should motivate you to go higher and to never give up. "Many people will fight you down, when you seek JAH LIGHT"
