Call Pon Dem

Chezidek's song 'Call Pon Dem' is a powerful anthem that addresses the struggles and injustices faced by marginalized communities, particularly the poor and those advocating for the legalization of marijuana. The refrain, 'Call pon dem poor people ah call pon dem,' sets the tone for the song, emphasizing the urgent need for attention and action to end poverty. The repeated calls to different groups, such as herbalists and Rastafarians, highlight the collective effort required to bring about change and justice.

The lyrics criticize the senselessness of certain laws and the influence of secret agents who perpetuate violence and drug-related issues. Chezidek points out the hypocrisy of these agents and the authorities who fail to support the youth and the poor. The line 'Tell dem seh dem laws dem nah mek no sense' underscores the frustration with policies that do not serve the people's best interests. The song also touches on the importance of proper education, suggesting that it is a crucial element in defending the rights and future of Jah's children.

In the verses, Chezidek warns of the dangers of ignoring the people's voices, equating it to turning one's back on the sufferer and letting children fight for food in the ghettos. This imagery paints a stark picture of the harsh realities faced by many and serves as a call to action for leaders to address these issues. The song also criticizes leaders who engage in 'mouth war' and act like Caesar, urging them to reconsider their procedures and genuinely serve the people. Through 'Call Pon Dem,' Chezidek amplifies the voices of the oppressed and calls for a united effort to bring about meaningful change.
