Put Ya Lighters Up ‘4 Haiti’:
“One year after the devastating tragedy that struck the country of Haiti, sadly not much has changed. Thousands are still displaced, living in tents and many still struggle day to day just for basic necessities. Last year, the Hip-Hop community stepped up tremendously organizing fundraisers all over the country, but this year it seems we’ve moved on. I decided to record the song “4Haiti” to to raise awareness and as a reminder that so many are still suffering and in great need of our help. “4Haiti” was produced by Drum Gang Productions and all proceeds collected from the song will go towards purchasing a Mobile Max Pure solar generator that purifies water for our family in Haiti.”
This record is fanatstic, check it (and the riveting video above….)
LYRICS
Put ya lighters up Put ya lighters up
now put ya money down they need the midis touch
This is war lace my gloves let the fighters touch
Haitians are dying plus they’re fate lies with us
Put ya lighters up Put ya lighters up
now put ya money down they need the midis touch
This is war lace my gloves let the fighters touch
Haitians are dying plus they’re fate lies with us
After the quake hit we donated
with no patience to see if the dough made it
then the days went and the saints win
reporters that came went so no more statements
Or pages and the funds raised went
to the same pimps so nobody was paid shit
and then it started raining
attention we stopped paying so who was gonna save em
Then Wyclf went
and announced that he was running for president
so Haiti took precedent
but his charity was accused of negligence
Sean Penn lectured him said he wasn’t present when
people needed betterment
and Pras questioned him
and his experience if the people elected him
said they needed veterans
so many pressured him
poor Clef even his family they threaten them
then we found out cause he wasn’t a resident
that the country he loved he couldn’t represent
I guess the lesson is that politics is more gangster than the record biz
hell yes it is
and since Clef is out, then the press is out
but the people are still left without
with a less amount while the rest accounts
for overhead costs crucified on a red cross
and now a year later and the fears greater
they need so much more than just to hear prayers
Haiti needs sincere care
not showing up with a camera to show that we’re there
cause they raised billions but didn’t raise building
and the soldiers they aint stop the killings
they was guarding banks inside armored tanks
while mothers and fathers sank it makes my heat just break
see these forces are that cold
they want their resources the black gold
while we kept are distance through the epidemic
I got an idea let’s prevent it
how much could we change if we all represented
with the best intentions while the rest lamented
if you got jokes put the mic down
a voice with no value makes Cipher Sounds
“A vioce with no value makes cipher sounds…” – ouch!

To be fair, contrary to Jasiri‘s lyrics in the song about “reporters that came went so no more statements…”, my hometown paper, The Toronto Star has been running prominent (often front page) updates and features on conditions in Haiti , focusing on the personal story of a young girl named Lovely, regularly since the earthquake disaster struck. They’ve had at least two correspondents on the ground down there filing the reports this entire year. I might sound perverse in saying this but, if anything, they’ve almost covered the story too much as each feature has usually been two to three full pages long. It’s a lot to take in, especially when the outlook is so dire in many ways but they’ve managed to not always wallow in that mindset and cast their stories in a more hopeful, positive light. Anyway, this is a great piece of music that is doing something positive in a world with a lot of hurt, hate and suffering right now so please support the cause.

Anything you can do, Ron… Barca hat-trick No 24 for Messi puts him just nine goals behind Raul’s all-time Champions League record (and he’s still only 26)
