Quien No Desea

Zona Ganjah's song 'Quien No Desea' is a powerful plea for positive change and social consciousness. The lyrics express a deep desire for the world to transform from a place of bitterness and suffering to one of sweetness and harmony. The artist laments the plight of innocent people who simply want to live, highlighting the harsh realities faced by those at the bottom of the social hierarchy. This sentiment is encapsulated in the line, 'Quien no desea que esto cambie a bien y el amargo del mundo se convierta en miel,' which translates to 'Who doesn't wish for this to change for the better and for the bitterness of the world to turn into honey.'

The song also addresses the pervasive issues of violence, corruption, and drug abuse. Zona Ganjah criticizes the systemic problems that lead to programmed assassins and people drowning in drugs, stealing to feed their addictions. The artist's reggae music is presented as a small but meaningful contribution to combating these evils, symbolized by the phrase 'con mi reggae music un grano de arena yo voy a poner,' meaning 'with my reggae music, I will contribute a grain of sand.' This metaphor underscores the idea that even small efforts can make a difference in the grand scheme of things.

Furthermore, 'Quien No Desea' delves into the spiritual and cultural dimensions of the Rastafari movement. The artist invokes Rastafari and Jah, expressing gratitude for the guidance and protection they provide. The song critiques the corruption in Babylon (a metaphor for oppressive systems) and emphasizes the importance of natural remedies and consciousness over material wealth and political power. The lyrics also defend the use of ganjah (marijuana) as a healing herb, challenging the ignorance and hypocrisy of those who condemn it without understanding its cultural and spiritual significance. This is evident in the lines, 'Porque hablas de mi ganjah sin tener ni puta idea, no ves que estas incitando al ignorante pa que te crea,' which translate to 'Why do you talk about my ganjah without having any idea, don't you see that you are inciting the ignorant to believe you.'

Zona Ganjah's 'Quien No Desea' is a multifaceted song that calls for social change, spiritual awakening, and a return to natural and conscious living. It is a critique of the current state of the world and a hopeful vision for a better future, driven by the artist's commitment to spreading positive messages through music.
