Repatriation is one of the central ideologies in the Rastafari religion. Whether taken as a literal physical movement back to Ethiopia, or as a spiritual journey to bring one closer to the most high, it is a crucial philosophy to Rasta people. In this song Miller sings of his desolation living in Babylon and gives us an insight into the strength and militancy of his faith. The track from the crucial “Jacob ‘Killer’ Miller” album is essential listening for anyone wanting to get an understanding of Miller as an artist.
