I want to love you, and treat you right
I want to love you, every day and every night
We'll be together, with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter, of my single bed
We'll share the same room, yeah! For Jah provide the bread
Is this love, is this love, is this love
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love, is this love, is this love
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
I want to know, want to know, want to know now
I got to know, got to know, got to know now

I, I'm willing and able
So I throw my cards on your table
I want to love you, I want to love and treat, love and treat you right
I want to love you every day and every night

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. ➕
