Bob Marley - Survival Lyrics
(Ow, ow-ow-ow-ow!
Ow, ow-ow-ow-ow!)
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
How can you be sitting there
Telling me that you care -
When every time I look around,
The people suffer in the suffering
In everyway, in everywhere.
Say: na-na-na-na-na (na-na, na-na!):
We're the survivors, yes: the Black survivors!
I tell you what: some people got everything;
Some people got nothing;
Some people got hopes and dreams;
Some people got ways and means.
Na-na-na-na-na (na-na, na-na!):
We're the survivors, yes: the Black survivors!
Yes, we're the survivors, like Daniel out of the lions' den
(Black survivors) Survivors, survivors!
So I Idren, I sistren,
A-which way will we choose?
We better hurry; oh, hurry; oh, hurry; wo, now!
'Cause we got no time to lose.
Some people got facts and claims;
Some people got pride and shame;
Some people got the plots and schemes;
Some people got no aim it seems!
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na, na!
We're the survivors, yes: the Black survivors!
Tell you what: we're the survivors, yeah! - the Black survivors, yeah!
We're the survivors, like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
(Black survivors),
Thrown in the fire, but-a never get burn.
So I Idren, I-sistren,
The preaching and talkin' is done;
We've gotta live up, wo now, wo now! -
'Cause the Father's time has come.
Some people put the best outside;
Some people keep the best inside;
Some people can't stand up strong;
Some people won't wait for long.
(Na-na-na-na-na!) Na-na-na, na-na-na na!
We're the survivors
In this age of technological inhumanity (Black survival),
Scientific atrocity (survivors),
Atomic misphilosophy (Black survival),
Nuclear misenergy (survivors):
It's a world that forces lifelong insecurity (Black survival).
Together now:
(Na-na-na-na-na!) Na na-na na na! (Na na-na na na!)
We're the survivors, yeah!
We're the survivors!
Yes, the Black survivors!
We're the survivors:
A good man is never honoured (survivors)
in his own yountry (Black survival).
Nothing change, nothing strange (survivors).
Nothing change, nothing strange (Black survivors).
We got to survive, y'all! (survivors) - [fadeout]

i spent a couple of bdays in Jamaica, but the 1st one i visited Bob Marley's resting and birth place (he and his mom are resting there). the most spiritual and emotionally phenomenal experiences in my life so far. much respect to the King of Reggae!

Bob marley.fue enviado a la tierra del vientre de la luna..su alma colmada de ternura a ser escritor por frases canciones..que hay creador del mundo.y todo lo que existen y existirán.. para llenar alma con una solo hidrológica..ser libre..Jah rastafari
Man can learn a lot of history in this album and the songs! Freedom comes to all Nation! Scotland 🏴 will be free from the butchers apron soon come!!!
Marley profeta del reggae
I was 8 when this came out, it was always being played in my house, had such a huge impact on me. Even though at that age I had no clue about the stories behind his many of songs, the powerful nature of the music just reaches too deep to not make a connections to one's soul
Truly timeless 🔥
Salvador BA BR
Vagner Silva o cabuloso nas escritas
Dit maakt mij blij als ik dit hoor komen alle mooie herinneringen weer naar boven
O Brasil 2019 precisa de BOB the best contra opressão.
Que opressão, rapaz? O Brasil continua sendo um PAÍS LIVRE. Aqui não é Cuba nem Venezuela.
Survival. Is the best song .is it not on it . An why.?
Intro 2020
Pretty accurate
Good music!😄👌✌️
Buen disco ✌
Conciencia, amor y armonía. Gracias Robert por compartir através de tu música todo tu conocimiento, tus disconformidades, tu formas de ver el mundo, la sociedad, tus enseñanzas, etc. Pero principalmente por hacernos entender que debemos amarnos entre todos. Sin diferencias.
Gracias. Me has hecho mejor persona. Vives presente en mi corazón, sé que algun buen día te encontraré, estare esperándote, alabandote. Te quiero ❤
Para mi....el mejor disco de Bob Marley....me le compre con 15 años y le di muuuucha caña....todos los rastas del pueblo me le pidieron ....aunque solo se le deje a 2 ...de confianza.
Por que ya se sabe la buena musica no suele devolverse...ya me ocurrio con otros discos y peliculas que les dejabas y costaba un mundo que te lo devolvieran .....y a veces los que volvian ....rayados y llenos de mierda
Um continente tão rico e abençoado. Devastado pela ganância dos poderosos. A maioria dos países comandados por ditadores triste realidade.
Good riddance to Mugabe.
B.M. called it wrong on that one... no one liberated Zimbabwe.
Still a great album and very inspiring.
Communicatormusicea
2019 is still listening to this song.
también en el 2020... serà lo mismo.
which song? lol
Forever listening
@WhyNotTruth bahaha
The REASON BOB WAS AHEAD of his time is because he is a Prophet of GOD. Prophets go ahead and then bring the message back to the present time....THE STONE THAT THE BUILDER'S REFUSED WILL ALWAYS BE THE HEAD CORNERSTONE. REJECTION BECOMES PROMOTION OVER TIME. KEEP YA HEAD UP AND JAH BLESS YOU INDEED! ❤
Bob Marley the vessel of beautiful love. LOVE IS THE KEY TO HUMANITY
Jah Rastafari, Forever and ever
Bob Marley fan from Pakistan

Track 2 is Not from OG album...title is misleading. Lies.are.lies big or small
I havent heard this is 20 years. I listened to BMW non stop as a kid in the 70'/80's. The first notes of this album took me back to me being 12 & lying in the dark on my bed with a kick ass Technics hifi & earphones. Remember the sound of a needle hitting the record. Remember....
Nice
I used to listen lot in 90's
Ambush in The Night!

Rothchild central banks control and own you all. There is the truth children. That is the truth. Now begin your journey to knowledge and ultimalty freedom.
I meant to say the Bassline of this “Top Ranking Version is just magical. The whole cut is real Raw studio work. They made it look easy and yet so beautifully crafted I sometimes have a feeling there is no Doubt a bit of herb and instrumental can change the world. Thanks BOB. And the wailers of course. RASTAFARI. 🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱
The Bassline on this version is just magical RASTAFARI. Thanks BOB. And the wailers of course. 🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱
Africa continently could not utilize in substantiating a significant political influence with the West, US in particular that was never part of the colonialist against the continent. African Americans were supposed to create Continental and racial advocacy and lobbystists group such as those established to represent other races like AIPAC. In that essence, we could have had an established and cemented significant influence in the whole west. Instead, our leaders have been blinded by hate to disguise their dictatorial and authoritarian leaderships which by far once collapsed makes them take down their respective country with them, leaving no or little chance of stable political reform or shift. They are certainly succumbed to their one eyed view of been control freak that completely misdirects them to set up strategically calculated political logical frame that is built in leaving a positive legacy behind like Nelson Mandella and Julius Narreri. Poor are we!
It's rothchild central banks that own all of us.
I definitely admire this inspirational music of the Great Bob. His inspirational is guiding us all through. The no ads mode is also appreciated. We are the origins and we must Unite for the sake of our continent and people.
WAKE UP AND LIVE YALL RISE YE MIGHTY PEOPLE. Rise from the sleeping slumer all together NOW! !!Here's a question what does NOW spell backwards? It spells WON! !!WAKE UP AND LIVE YALL.
One love
Not siding with no one person for me all of the so-called African Americans have a voice in repairing the damages of our people all who have a voice to be heard must speak out and up the question of who is willing to give their lives up huh?it's going to come the time for the necessary sacrificing of the body collectively like our for father's and mothers they gave their lives who is willing to do the same? Talking is one thing walking the walk is the ULTIMATE ACTION. NOW WHO IS THE REAL REVOLUTIONARIES WHERE THEY AT?ready to die for ADOS OUR ANCESTORS HUH?
This song top ranking is so ripe for today's people to hear because that's the message to every one fighting over who is the leaders of preparations we must stop it our predecessors have been fighting for us many years ago with these thieves and murders we must unite and push the lines collectively or we are doomed this goes out to sister Cornell and all who argues over who is right on the topic of ADOS. IT'S NOTHING NEW THE FIGHT HAS BEEN ON LONG LONG TIME AGO.
Fire that up man
🇲🇺
Why is survival missing?
BOB MARLEY NO TUBO DESPERDICIOS MUSICALES.
bitrait is very LOW here :((
Les visionnaires étaient avisés des années avant mais sont restés incompris
