She’s comparing the double standard between men and women as it relates to infidelity. Lots of men cheat, and when they do, they expect to be forgiven and let off with a pat on the back, but when women cheat, their lives are literally threatened.

Multiple layers:

  1. The generally accepted concept of Judgement Day (for those that believe in it) is that God will come down and take the righteous to heaven.

  2. ‘Feel high’ is a reference to the unimaginably great feeling any given human being would acquire upon learning that they’re going to heaven.

In the Christian faith, Jesus was said to have died to save the world from their sins, and because of his divine nature, came back from the dead after 3 days to ascend to heaven.

Thus, believers in Christ attribute him to being a living God instead of a human that has passed.

The Rastafari movement believes that God isn’t to be found in heaven, but rather among mankind. Haile Selassie I was revered as the returned messiah of the Bible, God incarnate, by the Rastafari movement. They praise him like Jah aka God.

“Redemption Song” is the final track on Bob Marley & the Wailers' ninth and final album made when Marley was alive, Uprising.

Unlike most of Marley’s works, “Redemption Song” is a strictly solo acoustic track with no sign of the reggae style present in nearly everything else he has made. Instead, it is a deeply contemplative and personal song that evoked the sound and style of another Bob: Bob Dylan. Nonetheless, an alternate version with a full band arrangement was eventually released as a bonus track on the 2001 reissue of Uprising and the compilation One Love: The Very Best of Bob Marley & The Wailers.

The song is considered one of Marley’s seminal works, with Rolling Stone having listed it as #66 among The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Some key lyrics derived from a speech given by the Pan-Africanist orator Marcus Garvey.

Tosh is aware that his video is in demand. He’s also aware of the true nature of the “beast” (read: music industry) – which basically is; “Conform and get paid little, or don’t and get paid nothing.”

He is also saying that the music he makes isn’t like “Prince” or “Michael Jackson” and that the music industry seems to find his music “too black”, and if it isn’t that peter is wondering what it could be.
