Poverty Shadow Fade

Reggae
About
Roots reggae groove anchored by a prominent bass line and one-drop drum pattern, with offbeat skanking guitars cutting through reverb echoes for that authentic Jamaican feel. Uplifting vocals harmonize over sparse dub production, addressing poverty's hardships while igniting spiritual resilience and communal strength. The dub-break strips back to echoing calls of hope, building to a tall-standing outro.
Lyrics
Empty hands reach for the sky. Heart still beats. We get by. We get by. Eyes full of need. Planting seeds in the hardest ground we seed. Rain on tin, our size. But together we harmonize. Salad easy. Fade away. Souls on fire. Light of day rise. We must feel the call. Love conquer all. Stand in. Tall. Feels we toil. Sweat for crumbs. Dreams alive. Beating drums. Share the bread. Pass the cup. In our circle. Lifting up. Nights are long. But dawn will break. Faith the path our spirits take. Salad easy. Fade away. Souls on fire. Light of day rise. We must feel the call. Love conquer all. Stand in. Tall. We get by. Heart still beats. We get by. Salad easy. Fade away. Love conquer all. We get by. Fade away. Love conquer all. Stand in. Love conquer all. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by. We get by.
