| Peter Tosh "Rastafari Is" |
 |
In 1987, Tosh appeared to be on the way to a
career revival. He was awarded a Grammy for
Best Reggae Performance in 1987 for No
Nuclear War. However on September 11, 1987
three men came to his house demanding money,
and when Tosh replied that he did not have
any with him he was shot dead, along with
disk jockey Jeff "Free I" Dixon. The leader
was Dennis 'Leppo' Lobban, a man whom Peter
had befriended and tried to help find work
after a long jail sentence. Leppo turned
himself over to the authorities, and was
tried and convicted in the shortest jury
deliberation in Jamaican history: eleven
minutes. He was sentenced to death, but his
sentence was commuted in 1995 and he remains
in prison. Neither of his two alleged
accomplices were found, though rumors persist
that both were gunned down in the streets.

Old pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly
All I ever had, is songs of freedom
Won't you help to sing, these songs of
freedom
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
Redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fullfill the book
Won't you help to sing, these songs of
freedom
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
Redemption songs, redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but oursekves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Yes some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fullfill the book
Won't you help to sing, these songs of
freedom
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
All I ever had, redemption songs
These songs of freedom, songs of freedom
