Your Mother
Unlocking the Mirror: The Medicine Box's Anthem of Empowerment
Lyrics
Let's get started
Expressing readiness to begin.
Bringing the light into this mother like the stars did
Introducing positivity and enlightenment, comparing it to stars bringing light from the sky.
from the sky as we illuminate the darkness
Emphasizing the act of illuminating darkness and overcoming challenges.
Our predecessors always knew it from the start
Acknowledging the wisdom of past generations who foresaw the current time.
that this would be our time
Claiming the present era as their own.
Now you're locked in-
Suggesting confinement or limitation, possibly a metaphorical "box."
side the box so when we rock you know we got this
Confidently asserting their capability when delivering their message.
medicina pa' mi gente we be droppin'
Using "medicina" (medicine) for the people, implying positive impact through their expression.
We didn't start the fire but you can bet your ass
Referencing external challenges but expressing determination to overcome them.
we're gonna fuel it
Committing to contributing to change and progress.
Everything around you is a mirror
Highlighting the reflective nature of the external world and internal self.
cnd everything inside you is a mirror too
Reiterating the idea of internal reflection, emphasizing self-awareness.
Your mother's calling tell me can you hear her?
Poetically referring to a figurative "mother" and asking if the audience can hear her call.
and if so I wanna know what we're gonna do
Posing a question about the response to the metaphorical mother's call.
Everything around you is a mirror
Repeating the theme of the world reflecting oneself.
cnd everything inside you is a mirror too
Reiterating the internal and external mirrors, emphasizing self-awareness.
Your mother's calling tell me can you hear her?
Asking if the audience can hear the metaphorical mother and questioning the course of action.
what are we gonna do?
Repeating the question, underlining the urgency of deciding what to do.
what are we gonna do?
Repetition for emphasis.

-cll you soldiers
Addressing the audience as soldiers, encouraging them to remain true to themselves.
don't let 'em say you're any less than what I told ya
Urging the audience not to be influenced by negative opinions about their worth.
cnd don't you crack under the pressure of them boulders
Advising resilience in the face of challenges represented by "boulders."
that all them giants might be throwing from the top
Metaphorically describing external pressures and obstacles.
Their tower's coming down
Anticipating the collapse of oppressive structures.
But without planes
Noting the need for change but acknowledging challenges in achieving it.
We won't be changing anything if not without pain
Stressing that change involves pain and effort.
c change of pace to get you racing like a freight train
Using the metaphor of a fast-moving train to symbolize positive momentum.
cnd if we come together now I guarantee we'll cover much more ground
Encouraging unity for more significant impact and progress.
Yeah
Expressing confidence in collective achievements.
Everything around you is a mirror
Repeating the theme of mirrors, the metaphorical mother's call, and the question about action.
cnd everything inside you is a mirror too
-Your mother's calling tell me can you hear her?
-and if so I wanna know what we're gonna do
-Everything around you is a mirror
-cnd everything inside you is a mirror too
-Your mother's calling tell me can you hear her?
-what are we gonna do?
-what are we gonna do?
