It's a snippet of a Bob Marley song (Johnny Was) that was on Marley's "Rastaman Vibration" album.
The story is a true story from Marley's youth when there were an uprising going on in Kingston (Jamiaca's capital).
Marley walked by a woman who was crying over her dying son in the street who was an innocent bystander to the shootings going on.
Helpless to do much else for the woman and her son, Marley immemorialized her son with "Johnny Was" to decry the senseless loss of life in political and religious strife.
Kinda sounds like "SBS", "Please", "Peace on Earth", etc - doesn't it?
THE GOAL IS SOUL....
