Peter Tosh first rose to fame as a member of the Jamaican ska group The Wailers, alongside Bob Marley and Bunny Livingston (aka Bunny Wailer). Like Marley, in time Tosh became a major reggae star in his own right, but while Marley's espoused a utopian political philosophy, Tosh took a far more aggressive stance toward issues of political equality, economic justice, and rights for people of color . If Bob Marley was the Martin Luther King of reggae, Tosh was the genre's Malcolm X, and he made no small share of enemies before he died in a hail of bullets in 1987.

Peter Tosh: Stepping Razor Red X
Never Wake A Sleepin Lion...
Don't trouble trouble 'cause trouble will double trouble you
Mr. Speaker
Talk as much as you want but don't try to change us
Don't trouble trouble 'cause trouble will double trouble you
Mr. Big Man
Help us if you can but don't try to fix us
Don't play fish if you can't swim
Don't play with fire if you don't want to get burn
Life is a gamble so they say
But what what shall we win at the end of the day
Experience is the greatest teacher of all
No need for defense if we learn our lessons well
Oh oh take care of creation there's so much to gain
Woh woh woh woh we've got nothing to lose
A little bit of wisdom worth more than gold
Can't be bought can't be sold
If you spit in the sky it will fall in your eye
Once bitten and twice shy
Experience is the greatest teacher of all
No need for defense if we learn our lessons well
Oh oh take care of creation there's so much to gain
Woh woh woh woh we've got nothing to lose
Don't trouble trouble 'cause trouble will double trouble you
Even if you're tough like lion
Don't trouble trouble 'cause trouble will double trouble you
Never wake a sleeping lion
