Un hymne roots reggae dans la tradition de la musique de protestation jamaïcaine des années soixante-dix : one drop, orgue Hammond, skank de guitare. Il nomme l'hypocrisie des soins modernes, où un médecin prescrit un remède naturel et une décision budgétaire le raye, et relie cela aux luttes plus larges de Kingston. Le témoignage d'un médecin rencontre la sagesse rastafari : la nature guérit, l'amour unit, et la rébellion est un acte d'amour quand elle défend ceux qui n'ont pas de voix.
Doctor's hand, 2017 Prescribe the herb, make the sick man clean But the system cut, what the people need Now the pain return, watch the patient bleed Natural healing, ancient tradition Cut by the budget, political decision
But we heal the pain, with love and sound Roots and culture, solid ground No more war, no more divide One love, one heart, let it ride
Kingston streets, hear the people cry Violence rise, see the children die Politician speak, but they don't feel The hungry man, the empty meal Economic chain, mental slavery But the Rasta man sing, of liberation bravery
One drop, one blood, one destiny Herb is the healing, for you and me No synthetic, no corporate pill Nature provide, for every ill
Plant the seed, watch it grow What the government stop, the people know Rebellion is love, when love is true Stand for the weak, stand for you
We heal the pain... One love... No more war...
