America is a land of liberty. The freedom of expression come undaunted in the American culture as this song generally reflects Americans inclination to sex, liquor and good times. It can be inferred that the freedom which Americans enjoy has been greatly revealed in songs and in their culture of leniency. Independence has given each and everyone the right to talk about anything and pour out emotions and thoughts on something which other cultures may find taboo like sex, drugs and liquor. The opportunity given to anyone to indulge in these taboos is a mirror reflecting Americas liberation and independence. On the lighter side, it gives a sense of responsibility that no matter what Americans indulge in, they stand firm for it.
The song also implies mans darker desires for money and luxury as given in the statement im into having sex, aint into making love,m y crib, my cars, my jewels I cant change. It is a redefinition of what a good life is supposed to be. In this world of global economic meltdown, life has gotten into another meaning and that is acquiring wealth and comfort.

This song generally reflects the painful rejection of black men in the society long time ago. Marley took the song as an opportunity to express how people should live in equality and unity. He stated this on the lines coming from the root of King David through the line of Solomon. This is a clear indication of Marleys desire to prove that black men are beings of good ancestry- the same ancestry which the whites claim to have belonged. Racism is a cultural challenge that has influenced literature especially the creation of songs. It is evident how Marley was able to express the blacks disagreement to cultural bias and inferiority.
Furthermore, the song is an embodiment of mans desire for freedom from the slavery of thoughts and emotions. Marley was able to use the lyrics to defy injustices against the Black signifying a remarkable event which according to him is unstoppable. This song definitely shows how man can get out of his own misery as long as he values himself and sees worth of his being. In its entire context, Marley is pushing for equality that Black be given respect, love and sense of being as what others have long been enjoying.
