Redemption Song by Bob Marley talks about African slave trade, and uses it partly as a metaphor to free your own mind. Explanation on each line can be read on Rock Genius, a subdivision of Rap Genius (rock.rapgenius.com/bob-marley-redemption-song-lyrics).

This was Marley's last single before his death on May 11, 1981. It sums up his life and what he stood for in his songs: freedom and redemption. Marley was a very spiritual singer who gave hope to the downtrodden in his native Jamaica, and whose message spread to the United States and around the world when he became a star.
