"Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny. In this bright future, you cant forget your past."

-Bob Marley

Bob Marley lived a life full of ups and downs. He went from violence and poverty to riches and fame. He went from being a nobody, to being an international household name. His childhood was full of struggles because of a broken family and confusion about who he really was. Even after all the obstacles his life threw at him, he still managed to achieve success and greatness in the music industry because of his passion for music and his love for God. His words of inspiration about many different aspects of life have influenced todays music and some people’s way of life. Overcoming poverty and violence and becoming someone that everyone will remember shows that no matter how bad life can get, the hard times can always be overcome.
