[N] [B] We'll come to St.
Martin sometime [F] and have a kind of
Of course we would come to St.
Martin.
That's what [A] I wanted to know.
When we are invited [F] and with the proper equipment.
[Cm] I mean, you just can't say, Bob, can you come to [Ab] St.
Martin and there's nobody in [F] St.
Martin arranging it.
It's not like that.
[G] It's not rain.
It has [Cm] to be arranged.
You've got to have [C] the right equipment, right sound equipment.
[F] Well, not even the best, but some equipment, [Ab] you know, that can get the [C] show on or whatever.
If it's on shows in a
Well, Bob, it's very important that [Gb] you clear up this point because a lot of people [D] feel that you [Eb] don't come down to [Db] these small islands.
Well, that's the point I want to clean up with these [Eb] people, man.
Rastafari [C] is God Almighty with no [Fm] apology.
[C] You know, I'm [Dm] not boastful, but [C] proud [Gb] to know that God's [C] black.
[Ab] You know, just that.
We just [C] feel brave to know that God's black.
We don't skin off.
And, [F] you [C] know, [Fm] we black [F] people, the suffering people, the first shall be [E] the last and the last first.
[C] But I say, though we are the sufferers, [Gb] today God's black, [Ab] so we [Db] going to become a good people.
[Eb] Well, you understand, [A] Skipper?
[F] Thank you very much.
One thing [Gm] we have to say, if the leaders in the [G] world were smoking herb, they would have passed [C] the rightful law, but right now they're not dealing with nothing.
[E] Dave Douglas, 77 News, talking [Eb] to Bob Marley, Jacob Killamiller and Junior Marvin.
[F] Rastafari!
And tell [Bb] them people, it's [Cm] nice, you know, because
[F] We let the government try to [G] pressure the youth, because we know the [F] youth of St.
Martin is rasta.
Every black man [G] in the West Indies is black.
[Bb] Marcus Garvey says, Africa [Ab] for Africans and women abroad.
Ethiopian [Bbm] can't change his skin, neither the leopard [F] can change his spots, you know.
So [C] once you're black, you represent Africa.
Don't care where you're born.
See?
It's not that.
It's easy.
It's easy.
And we must be proud of it.
Proud of yourself, man.
Because [Gb] God's black.
[D]
Don't [Cm] say that.
It's [Db] not white Christ.
When Pope, [C] when them mock, when them make Jesus Christ to be a white man, that was the suit in the white man's ways.
[Gm]
[Abm] But in reality, God's [C] black.
You [Bb] know?
And the way God's black, God no boast.
[Gb] And come show you, say, well, I am God and blah, blah.
[Ab] It's the way to make him out.
And you [Db] say, that humble one there [C] is God, you know.
Doing.
[Bbm] Yeah.
He's not going to come out and say, I am God.
Some white asses, some angels.
[D] That deal's done with, man.
Rock safari, that deal with the first.
Yeah, [E] man.
What a country [Eb] on here in St.
Martin's, yeah.
All black people in [Fm] St.
Martin's [Db] learned this.
We [C] come to change the mood and teach the rightful law, which is God's law, not man's law.
Man's law is suitable for man.
[G] And man is [F] a society who thinks for them, they make the society for themselves, you know.
And I come to break down all of [C] that.
Rock safari.
[E] [C] And one more thing.
We're [Bb] glad you came.
[B] We're glad you are [C] here, man.
[Ab] [Gm]
[C]
Bob, [G]
[D] we heard that you were supposed to [Bb]
be doing a [B] concert in Grenada.
And you didn't do this concert.
[C] Why?
We would really [Ab] like to do a concert in [E] Grenada for the Grenadian people.
But the way the concert was [F] being put together was [Fm] that it looked as if we were going to defend [C] Marxism.
And we do not defend [D]
Marxism, [Gb] nor [Db] capitalism.
We [Fm] are strictly Rasta.
[Cm] You know [C] what I mean?
We're independent.
We don't have America to go [Bb] and beg anything, [C] nor Russia to beg [A] anything.
We prefer to stand up for our own self, which is [Ebm] Rasta, black people's rights.
[Ab] Bob, you said we're living in the last [E] days.
There's going to [Fm] be a big fight, I think, here in the Caribbean, [Db] in the Caribbean islands.
[Eb] America is going to make a grab for some of the Caribbean islands.
Russia, I think, [A] is going to make a grab for some of the Caribbean islands.
What do you have to say on this?
Well, my estimation of these two things is that [Fm] Russia and America are the biggest [E] fucking friends.
[F] And all I'm doing [G] is working a [C] psychological war of fear upon the poor people.
[B] That the people [F] think that there's going to be a war while these fuckers come in and [E] control.
If it's not America controlling, [Gb] it's going to be Russia.
[Bb] And the two of them [C] is the same thing, brother.
Two of [A] them is the same thing.
It's just two fucking white men [F] who have them ways of controlling [Db] black people.
[C] Black people time, no!
[Gb] Black [Cm] people time, no!
Right now, them [C] man come like Eccle and Jekyll.
Them two brother there, America and [F] Russia.
Eccle and bloodclaat [B] Jekyll.
[Bb] That means we [D] don't want no more of that.
[C] You as a black man stand up for your [A] right.
Because I come here to see [Ab] German and [G] French.
[E] And with the black man there, the nigger, [Ab] you know what I say?
[F] So what do I [A] do?
Stand up and watch the French and the German [Fm] take over.
[Db] And you have to know where you come [D] from.
Africa, we are dealing with, but you have to defend yourself as long as you are [Db] there.
We have a right to [C] live.
You know, we have a right to live.
All of [Bb] these people, all of them people [C] in prison, was babies once.
Babies.
Mother feed them on the breast.
They shit up themselves [G] and mother clean them.
And today them is big leaders.
[F] Nothing wrong about that.
But there are [Bb] still children born in today too.
And these children have [Ab] modern ideas about how life should [C] go.
And I mean, [G] we can't [Gb] make some guys who used [F] to live in the 17th century
tell us what to do in this [B] 1980s.
We are young people.
We [A] must decide our own [C] destiny.
Because that is [B] God.
God only make two [C] good people.
We must decide our own.
We are good.
[F] Do you have any new material coming out in the next [C]
couple of [D] months?
Yes, we are working on it.
[C] Jacob has some stuff ready, I think.
Yeah, man.
What you got?
[G] We have two [Eb] albums coming out, which is [C] in a circle.
And we have [B] Jacob Killemiller coming out.
[Db] So we have two [Bb] albums coming out right now.
I would like to extend a [A] personal invitation for you to get [Ab] back here and do a show, man.
Because I saw [Bbm] you on 16th and the New York Times.
Yes, I think you really tear up the [E] Caribbean.
The Caribbean loves you, Jacob.
Yeah, well, let's see.
Me, [Gb] personally, me and my brother Bob Marley.
You all are moving together now?
Yeah, we're full [F]-time moving [Gm] together.

See?
It's not that.
It's easy.
It's easy.
And we must be proud of it.
Proud of yourself, man.
Because [Gb] God's black.
_ [D]
Don't [Cm] say that.
It's [Db] not white Christ.
When Pope, [C] when them mock, when them make Jesus Christ to be a white man, that was the suit in the white man's ways.
[Gm] _
[Abm] But in reality, God's [C] black.
_ You [Bb] know?
And the way God's black, God no boast.
[Gb] And come show you, say, well, I am God and blah, blah.
[Ab] It's the way to make him out.
And you [Db] say, that humble one there [C] is God, you know.
Doing. _
[Bbm] Yeah.
He's not going to come out and say, I am God.
Some white asses, some angels.
[D] That deal's done with, man.
Rock safari, that deal with the first.
Yeah, [E] man.
_ What a country [Eb] on here in St.
Martin's, yeah. _
All black people in [Fm] St.
Martin's [Db] learned this.
We [C] come to change the mood and teach the rightful law, which is God's law, not man's law.
Man's law is suitable for man.
[G] And man is [F] a society who thinks for them, they make the society for themselves, you know.
And I come to break down all of [C] that.
Rock safari.
[E] _ _ [C] And one more thing.
We're [Bb] glad you came.
_ [B] We're glad you are [C] here, man.
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Bob, [G] _
_ [D] _ we heard that you were supposed to [Bb] _
be doing a [B] concert in Grenada.
And _ you didn't do this concert.
[C] Why?
We would really [Ab] like to do a concert in [E] Grenada for the Grenadian people.
But the way the concert was [F] being put together was [Fm] that it looked as if we were going to defend [C] Marxism.
And we do not defend [D]
Marxism, [Gb] nor [Db] capitalism.
We [Fm] are strictly Rasta.
[Cm] _ You know [C] what I mean?
We're independent.
We don't have America to go [Bb] and beg anything, [C] nor Russia to beg [A] anything.
We prefer to stand up for our own self, which is [Ebm] Rasta, black people's rights.
_ [Ab] _ Bob, you said we're living in the last [E] days.
There's going to [Fm] be a big fight, I think, here in the Caribbean, _ [Db] in the Caribbean islands.
[Eb] _ America is going to make a grab for some of the Caribbean islands.
Russia, I think, [A] is going to make a grab for some of the Caribbean islands.
What do you have to say on this?
Well, my estimation of these two things is that [Fm] Russia and America are the biggest [E] fucking friends.
_ [F] And all I'm doing [G] is working a [C] psychological war of fear upon the poor people.
[B] That the people [F] think that there's going to be a war while these fuckers come in and [E] control.
If it's not America controlling, [Gb] it's going to be Russia.
[Bb] And the two of them [C] is the same thing, brother.
Two of [A] them is the same thing.
It's just two fucking white men [F] who have them ways of controlling [Db] black people.
[C] Black people time, no!
[Gb] Black [Cm] people time, no!
Right now, them [C] man come like Eccle and Jekyll.
Them two brother there, America and [F] Russia.
Eccle and bloodclaat [B] Jekyll. _
[Bb] That means we [D] don't want no more of that.
[C] You as a black man stand up for your [A] right.
Because I come here to see [Ab] German and [G] French.
[E] And with the black man there, the nigger, [Ab] you know what I say?
[F] So what do I [A] do?
Stand up and watch the French and the German [Fm] take over.
[Db] And you have to know where you come [D] from.
Africa, we are dealing with, but you have to defend yourself as long as you are [Db] there.
We have a right to [C] live. _
You know, we have a right to live. _ _ _
All of [Bb] these people, all of them people [C] in prison, was babies once.
Babies.
Mother feed them on the breast.
They shit up themselves [G] and mother clean them.
And today them is big leaders.
[F] Nothing wrong about that.
But there are [Bb] still children born in today too.
And these children have [Ab] modern ideas about how life should [C] go.
And I mean, [G] we can't [Gb] make some guys who used [F] to live in the 17th century
tell us what to do in this _ [B] 1980s.
We are young people.
We [A] must decide our own [C] destiny.
_ Because that is [B] God.
God only make two [C] good people.
We must decide our own.
We are good.
[F] _ Do you have any new material coming out in the next _ [C] _
couple of [D] months?
Yes, we are working on it.
[C] Jacob has some stuff ready, I think.
Yeah, man.
What you got?
[G] We have two [Eb] albums coming out, which is [C] in a circle.
And we have [B] Jacob Killemiller coming out.
[Db] So we have two [Bb] albums coming out right now.
I would like to extend a [A] personal invitation for you to get [Ab] back here and do a show, man.
Because I saw [Bbm] you on 16th and the New York Times.
Yes, I think you really tear up the [E] Caribbean.
The Caribbean loves you, Jacob.
Yeah, well, let's see.
Me, [Gb] personally, me and my brother Bob Marley.
You all are moving together now?
Yeah, we're full [F]-time moving [Gm] together.
Because, see, [F] right now, [D] my materials, [E] which he has his company [Db] getting together with,
I make sure anything I'm doing, coming through,
Tough
