Now, in an interview with the Gleaner in 2019, Ernie Smith will tell the paper the following regarding the banning of We The People, The Power and the Glory.

"I left Jamaica in '76 because people were telling me that I was not safe here because I wrote the song.

As we fight one another for the power and the glory, Jah kingdom gone to waste.

God said that, no right.

It was just lamenting the condition at the time as far as violence was concerned." Now, just to clarify, although the songs that were targeted were those reflective of, you know, this infamous divisive political climate of 1970s Jamaica, some which were not political in nature were also censored.

You see me I trying to say? Like, it was just like, "Oh, since we are censored those songs, we can use this as an excuse to censor other songs." You understand? When have nothing to do with what was happening, this political climate, right? And after a while, persons begin to take notice, as one editorial published in the Daily Gleaner on August 14, 1976, with the title Meri- Merry-Go-Round, um, this is what they stated.

"The banning of certain local records recently by the radio stations on the premise that the lyrics may contravene the State of Emergency Act leads to speculative gestures as to whether they are being banned for that reason or for some other reason.
