The title of my chosen song is called Patience by Damian Marley Featuring Nas. I chose this poem because of its spiritual meaning and because it represents what our world has turned into. Even though its six years old, and the world has changed a lot since then, they made a very precise prediction of what the condition of our economy will be today. The poem was written by Nas and Damian Marley themselves in year 2008 and composed in 2010. Damian Marley is the son of a popular Jamaican Reggae artist named Bob Marley. His father was a legend whose music was influenced by social issues of his homeland and politics and economics. Damian Marley took after his father and majority of his songs are about social issues, making love and peace. Damian Marley is also strongly connected to his spiritual side just like his father was, which is why I love their music.
The purpose of this song was to make you think about our creation, and our surroundings. Is God real? Why were we born? What’s true intelligence, the kind you learn at school, or the kind that comes to you from experience and spiritual wisdom? The topic of this song is Social Issues. “Who made up words? Who made up numbers? And what kind of spell is mankind under? Everything on the planet we preserve and can it microwaved it and preserved it, and try it no matter what we'll survive it, what's man?
What’s human? Anything along the land we consuming eatin', deletin', ruin, trying to get paper gotta have land, gotta have acres.” I quoted this because it shows what the poem is about and it’s intended meaning. The artists asked a lot of questions, so while we are listening to the song, these questions be absorbed by our sub-conscious mind and we will start to think about the world and wonder why our lifestyle’s are filled with media influences and social networking.
The overall mood and feeling in this song is a drifting hypnotic feeling. The reggae and rap mixed together gives it a slow
