Bob Marley Interview - New Zealand 79 - Remix

Yeah, Jamaican people play it. Yeah it's like musician from Jamaica play it. Like musician from, you might find black musician from America play the funk or blues, you know. We play reggae music.
Well the way I feel about the music, it can be copied, you know? But, it's not copy do it. It's the feel.
Well I've been a Rasta from eversince... you know? But it's not how long I've been a Rasta. It's how long it takes you to grow up. Because what you is is what you is, from beginning to the end. It can never change. Cause even if you adopt things, later on you go and filter right out. So we're just Rasta from creation, you know.
This? This is my identity, man. Yeah, this is my identity.
Well, if you is a Rasta you wouldn't see why you shouldn't have it. Because the you would've known freedom is freedom and you don't have to bow. You do whatever you like. But it's not a thing to say 'I would like to be a Rasta, but I wouldn't have to have this'. You dig? It can't be a thing like that. It have to be a fullness where you yourself know that it's God create I&I life, no own no life. That mean you is your own man. For the first time you own yourself. So people still searching for this truth here. Which this reggae music here now bring across. And the only purpose it serve is to tell the people about Rastafari. The more you accept herb is the more you accept Rastafari. You dig when I say - We who accept herb. Herb is not, herb is important, but herb is more important to the people who don't accept it yet. Because that is a reality, because it's not something that... you crave, but you check it in I'a sense and say - Herb. Herb is a plant. I mean, herb so good for everything. Why these people who want to do so much good for everyone, who call themselves governments, and this and that, why them say you must not use the herb? You see, and we chack that and we cannot find. Well, them just say "You must not use it, and you must not use it because... it makes you rebel." ... Against what? Against men who only crave, because them crave for them things Them have some material things, and them want to capture you're mind and say "Well you have to work, and then we put you on pension" And him keep it all. So herb makes you look upon yourself, and instead of you wanting to work for the man you want to be one of the man too. Not in the sense of how him is, but in the sense of 'why should you have to bow to these things?'.
It's not a easy thing to explain in a educated standard of way. Still you have people who can do it. But me's a common sense man. That mean when me explain things, me explain them in a very simple way. That mean if I explain it to a baby, the baby will understand too. You know?. So when we say now - The bible. The bible say that God say him shall return as the king of kings, lord of lords, and the conquering lion of the tribe of Judah. And him shall come in a new name, and this name shall be dreadful among the heathen. This is the people that make it outlaw, is but a few. The majority of the people upon the huearth want it, and it's a few (bad people) because - guns, and prisons, and bad life, treat you bad, so (the bad) people can (sneak around). But we want some people power. And the only people power is Rastafari.
Alcohol make you drunk, man. It don't make you meditate. It just makes you drunk. When you drink alcohol you don't meditate, you more giddy headed. Herb... is more a consciousness.
You strong enough, you can take a little smoke. So when all them carry apass, although you live in the city you don't hear it. because you're thinking. just live so. Then you know the whole world confuse you, and you're worried, and you have no time to think. And herb is a thing that give you a little time for yourself so you can live. if you use it.
Media?! As if I run a newspaper I would do a lot of interview. Because what I want to say I would get it across. But when I talk to someone, who has to go to someone, and then they edit it to fit up their business. And if you're too militant, they try to spread a type of propaganda.
Well, you say 'dabble in politics', I don't know what that is. You say 'stand up and talk for my rights', I know what that is. You see? And I don't care who the guy is. Because my right is my right, like my life, you know.? All I have is my life. That mean if I can't say 'I don't want that' or 'I don't want this'. When I check it out, the biggest man was baby one time. So I don't know where him get these big ideas of wanting to be rulers over people, and help enforce devilism. You can't dig it. We're revolutionaries, you know.?
Yes, I see myself as a revolutionary, who don't take no help, and that naah take abribe from no one. Me fight it single handed with music.
Rasta is the future. Seen. Yes. Rasta is the future. Seen.

Bob Marley, you need to be high to hear what hes saying then he makes perfect sense lol

[johnnymoonlight777]

I wrote a trans script in the info text. One doesn't need to be high to get it, but it sure helped me. Can't deny that.

@kaum its like the ghetto language of that british accent lol

[supercutleryalistic]

@SEXYJERK1 he actually makes a lot of sense and its fascinating that he knew all of that and saw the manipulation that governments have over us and how they control us to fulfill their plans. and its true that when you smoke a blunt you stop for a while, you forget about all the shit they feed you and you just think for the moment..

@dodger19701 I'm sorry I like my alcohol more than weed. 

[dodger19701]

if everyone listened to this, god love the alcohol industry, tobaco industry, why iligalise a plant that is so much more than just to get high, this interview was years ago but now we know the properties of this plant can do so much good, i think its time to move on, ban alcohol insted, that causes trouble, grow fields of herb, enviromentaly friendly in every way
