Are you satisfied with the way that your new album and your hit single Johnny B.
Goode has been promoted in America?
No, [N] that was not my hit single.
It got on MTV and it got on the pop charts.
Yes, that don't make it a hit.
That is the shit.
We in the society and the diplomacy in making it hit to the people, that it is a hit.
[Bb] But to them it is not a hit.
That is [F] a very bad thing.
You see, when that is projected in the mind of the [B] people, it will look
Because if you see it as a hit, [Bb] many millions of people will see it as a hit.
When [Bbm] they see it as a hit, [N] you know what is creating in their mind.
I have money.
That is one of the ways, the systematic way of assassination, spiritual and verbal assassination.
And I know the devil's trick in every way that they [D] try.
Because if [Ab] everybody starts to think that we have money,
they start to say that I have money and I don't know what [E] I am doing with it.
I [N]
have all the negativity to say when you have money what to do with it.
And I don't have no money.
I intend to have money.
The shit is trying their best to see [G] to it that I don't have no money.
[Bb] But they will make these [F] little elements create around me,
that people [Bb] have me down as a millionaire, as they did with Bob Marley.
[A] And brand you and have you as a target out there, a millionaire.
And that is the verbal way of killing you.
[Ab] So you don't really have a hit?
You are not being promoted properly?
No, no, no, no.
The system is still in campaign, campaign [Bb] against reggae music.
What you hear going on is just because I am doing my best.
Because one time I have a contract with any company, I do my best.
But every time I don't, I never know the time I ever see the company doing their best
[N] or a fraction of what they call the best.
Because I have been watching the media and who is in control of the media.
[Ab] And I see here, for example, it is a conspiracy to see to it
that reggae is not being [Bb] played on black radio stations in America.
Like it is a conspiracy to see to it that [N] drugs get into all the black communities to poison the nation.
So because the music is an awakening to the flumbering [B] mentality of those who are being caught up in the shit stone,
[Bb] the conspiracy is a paid conspiracy.
And I know that.
[B] And because they are [Bb] branding me now as a leader because Bob Marley is gone,
they are [F]
that's why they were trying to [G] put me in his shoe and in his [Bb] category.
And that is, [N] I am irrelevant to Bob Marley.
You can't compare me to Bob Marley.
You can't put me nowhere near Bob Marley.
See?
[Ab] See?
So, there is a general campaign to keep reggae at a level,
you are not [F] supposed to sell more than [C] 150 or maybe 200 [Gb],000.
And then they brand you, it's hit.
And it don't go further than [Bb] 6 to 7 on the charts.
[N]
