[The intro is a clip interviewing reggae artist Peter Tosh]
[Reporter:]
Peter? What's a bumba claat how you say it?
[Peter Tosh:]
Bumboclaat, bumba claat is one of Jamaica's password
One of the most highest potential of culture that relieves the spells of evil
[Reporter:]
Why? How?
[Peter Tosh:]
Well it's so scientifical
I've been investigatin this word so long to find out what these words mean
And what they are for, cause in the beginnin was the word and the word was with Jah
And the word was Jah the same was in this time
Cause so it was in the beginnin so it shall be in these days
[Reporter:]
Okay
[Peter Tosh:]
Well, I was born and raised and grown up
In colonialism and exploitation, and hear dat I heard dat and ummm...
Bumba claat, ras claat, blood claat, and every kind of claat
Yuh can tink of is bad words, and indecent language
[Reporter:]
Yeah
[Peter Tosh:]
And I born come here it in Jamaica, so why is it indecent?
So I went on an investigation and once upon a time I found myself in some circumstances
Held down by some spiritual vampires dat my mouth couldn't move
My tongue couldn't shake, my head couldn't move
And di only ting datcould mek mi move fi seh, MOVE YUH BUMBA CLAAT!
And I'm free, yes I! And from datday on I never stop seh bumba claat, yes I!
