Bob Marley is known as an advocate for peace, rights, and self-empowerment, and his song "Get Up, Stand Up" is no different. It's all about standing up for your rights and resisting authority who tries to tell you what to think, which are both common ideas in transcendentalism. The idea of living life for the now instead of for the future is also tossed about a lot in transcendental culture. Next time someone tries to tell you what to do, pull out your transcendental knowledge of Bob Marley, and "Get up, stand up. Stand up for your rights!"
