Musician With Purpose Derron Ellies

I offer to you my take on one of the works of genius of the legendary Peter Tosh. For more on this reggae icon go to linktr.ee/PeterTosh or on IG: @PeterTosh.

Equal Rights And Justice.

The first two verses are based on his lyrics. The second set of verses is my take on today’s fiery climate.

This cover version is a testament to all that had been fought for and denied for years.

Equality for the oppressed.

Justice for those murdered by the oppressors.

An overhaul of the unjust system that rules America and the correction of a vast number of legal and systematic wrongs faced by black America and eventually by Africans of Africa and the African diaspora.

George Floyd.
Breonna Taylor.
Ahmaud Arbery.
Sandra Bland.
Tamir Rice.
Emmett Till.
Those lynched during and after enslavement.
Too many that should have never been forced into martyrdom.
We see you all.

Black. Lives. Matter.

An end to racism and other forms of discrimination IN NO ORDER OF CHOICE.

First Peoples of America we see you.

Forcibly displaced and murdered immigrants we see you.

LGBTQ+ We see you.

This is to be a worldwide movement.

West Papua we see you.

Sentinel Island we see you.

First Peoples of South America we see you.

Untouchables of India we see you.

Aboriginal Australians we see you.

Colonialised Caribbean countries we see you.

Is time we right the wrongs and update the history books. Get involved on the many petitions circulating online across all social media platforms like Twitter.
