Through all the pain and suffering , we rise. It is human nature. Events like this make us stronger, more united and with a clearer vision of the future. Together, we rise, this has been a message in Reggae throughout time.
Where are all the Reggae/Dancahall songs for the times? Well they are there if you only look. Of course nothing is wrong with going back in time, but right now in this moment, artistes are creating uplifting music.

This made it obvious that hey, this song is for now, then, and beyond; hardcore Reggae/Dancehall with a positive message. That balance is a potent force that can uplift the vibrations fo many.
Here is the chorus sang by Tee jay, Shenseea and Taurus Riley. It is more of a chorus and a bridge. I really think they did a good job on this project.
