Let the Roots Man take a blow.
All them drugs gonna make you slow now;
It's not the music of the ghetto. Eh! wow that is all about weed. he wouldve had such a bteer image if he ditn smoke so much grass
It's not all about weed.
"Give me the food and let me grow" is literally about food.
"Let the Roots Man take a blow." yeah, talking about ganj there.
"All them drugs gonna make you slow now" Here he's talking about processed drugs. Stuff like heroin and cocaine and also prescription drugs, which as a rasta he considered to be poison and blasphemous to use.
As a naturally growing herb, he wouldn't describe weed as a drug; in fact it's considered to be an important tool for the contemplation of God.
(I'm not an expert on Rastafari, but i think that's right.)...

uh he's mostly talkin about breaking down and destroyin the system that enslaves. azkm is right the song is probably talkin about getting rid of processed drugs, they're evil. But weed is used to open the mind and receive spiritual wisdom so its good

bobmarley4ever im not sure if you like marley or not but h didnt smoke herb for people to look at him as cool or a rebel..he smoked it because it was part of his religion. he was a devout rastafarian and if rastafarian requierd its followers to not use herb he would have done it without a second though..that being said, if marley had not used herb he would not be the marley as he is known today..a great musician, symbol of peace,historical figure, and most of all a prophet and enlightenment for not just jamaicans but for african descendants...
