Um hino de roots reggae na tradição da música de protesto jamaicana dos anos setenta: batida one drop, órgão Hammond, guitarra em skank. Nomeia a hipocrisia da saúde moderna, em que um médico prescreve um remédio natural e uma decisão orçamentária o corta, e liga isso às lutas mais amplas de Kingston. O testemunho de um médico encontra a sabedoria rastafári: a natureza cura, o amor une, e a rebelião é um ato de amor quando defende os sem voz.
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...
