B is for Bob Marley

Happy 63rd birthday Bob Marley! Hannah is skipping the Jamaican beer, the sage and incense, but she is doing her best to stand and celebrate the grandfather of reggae music. Carlos, we'd like to stop and thank Jah for Hannah's Rastafarian onesie. Hannah has lately found great inspiration from her favorite Bob Marley song, "Get Up, Stand Up" (I mean, check out those gams!):

Most people think,
Great God will come from the skies,
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high.
But if you know what life is worth,
You will look for yours on earth:
And now you see the light,
You stand up for your rights. Jah!

Get up, stand up!
Stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight!
Get up, stand up!
Stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight!
-1973, Bob Marley & Peter Tosh
