A Call for Love and Justice: Understanding Gentleman's 'Superior'

Gentleman's song 'Superior' is a powerful anthem that delves into themes of love, justice, and the societal ills caused by materialism and power struggles. The song opens with a reference to Garnet Silk, a renowned reggae artist, emphasizing the idea that knowing God equates to knowing love. This sets the stage for the song's central message: the superiority of divine love over the inferiority of materialistic pursuits and devilish complexes.

The lyrics critique the worship of material wealth, symbolized by 'silver and gold,' and the global conflicts driven by the quest for superpower. Gentleman questions the reasons behind wars in Arabia and the suffering of children in Africa, highlighting the hypocrisy and destructive nature of world leaders. He warns that judgment will eventually fall upon these leaders, likening it to a rain shower, a metaphor for inevitable consequences.

Gentleman also addresses the importance of nurturing and educating the youth, urging society to love and guide them rather than terrorize and criticize. He believes that by showing the youth the truth and not hiding from them, equality and justice can unite them. The song calls for an end to false promises, religious illusions, and the resulting frustration and starvation. Gentleman advocates for living a life of love and harmony, as prescribed in Deuteronomy, and questions why people choose enmity over friendship. The song concludes with a call to follow a path of divine love and justice, rejecting the speed and superficiality of material pursuits.
