about
Following a decade-long project as lead singer of roots reggae band Rasta Unity, ‘Let Us Unite’ is Mpress Kandace’s exciting first release as a solo artist.
Working with Californian producers Stoney Eye Studios and Soultry Dubs, as well as Jamaican reggae artist Flames Eye, this new single is a collaboration across three countries: Jamaica, Australia and United States.
The collective energy put into this single is what contributes to its strong global sound. The lyrics carry an important message about ceasing wars and all unnecessary fights. It is also about valuing unity, life and finding common ground between all people.
lyrics
Ini say greetings in the name of love, alright
People of love!
Let us unite
Stop all your wars, cease all unecessary fights
You too uptight
Let us unite, heyyyy
It no matter if your skin tone black or your brown or white
We a deal wid life
So just be joyful and put away your frown
In unity such strength we have found
We need to seek common ground
Let nature take course and to each his own
Cause diversity an no hate
So we need find ways to relate
Don’t you teach the children dem to segregate
Russia, China and United State
Let us unite
Stop all your wars, cease all unecessary fights
You too uptight
Let us unite, heyyyy
It no matter if your skin tone black or your brown or white
We a deal wid life
Love is vital and essential
The only thing that is ordained
We’ve got more than the potential
So let not my words be in vain
One life, destiny, one aim
One sun, one moon, same rain
Life is worth more than fame, so I’ve got to say this to you again
Let us unite
Stop all your wars, cease all unecessary fights
You too uptight
Let us unite, Wooeee
It no matter if your skin tone black or your brown or white
We a deal wid life
So just be joyful and put away your frown
In unity such strength we have found
We need to seek common ground
Let nature take course and to each his own
Cause diversity an no hate
So we need find ways to relate
Don’t you teach the children dem to segregate
Russia, China and United State
Let us unite
Stop all your wars, cease all unnecessary fights
You too uptight
Let us unite, Wooeee
It no matter if your skin tone black or your brown or white
We a deal wid life
Love is vital and essential
The only thing that is ordained
We’ve got more than the potential
So let not my words be in vain
One life, destiny, one aim
One sun, one moon, same rain
Life is worth more than fame, so I’ve got to say this to you again
Let us unite
Stop all your wars, cease all unnecessary fights
You too uptight
Let us unite, Wooeee
It no matter if your skin tone black or your brown or white
We a deal wid life
