De La Tierra Crece

Zona Ganjah's song "De La Tierra Crece" is a powerful anthem advocating for the acceptance and respect of cannabis, which the artist refers to as 'ganjah.' The lyrics emphasize that cannabis is a natural plant that grows from the earth, and the artist calls for the freedom to use it without legal or societal restrictions. The term 'Babylon' is used to represent oppressive systems and authorities that prohibit the use of cannabis, highlighting a common theme in reggae and Rastafarian culture.

The song underscores the spiritual and meditative benefits of cannabis, portraying it as a sacred herb that brings peace and well-being. The artist criticizes the authorities for depriving people of the natural benefits of cannabis, which he equates to any other natural fruit provided by 'Pachamama' (Mother Earth). This connection to nature and spirituality is a central theme, as the artist describes the profound sense of peace and contentment he experiences when using cannabis.

Furthermore, the lyrics challenge the negative stereotypes and misinformation surrounding cannabis use. The artist asserts that responsible and conscious use of cannabis leads to inspiration and well-being, rather than the misery often portrayed by authorities. The song is a call to recognize the divine and medicinal qualities of cannabis, urging for its acceptance and the right to use it freely. This message is reinforced by the repeated refrain, emphasizing that cannabis is a natural gift from the earth that should be respected and utilized.
