This song is beautiful to me. Before we can help and change the world, we must first be right within ourselves mentally. You never know what a person is going through, and as a world, we need to be kinder to one another. This world needs some love and a peace of mind.

This song "We are the World" signifies that we as a world need to come together and love one another because we are all God's beautiful children. We should treat each other equally as brothers and sisters no matter our race. We all need to makes positive changes in this world that can benefit everyone, and not leave anyone behind. We all have to leave this earth one day, and while we are on earth we need to move love and pure intentions. Despite the evil that is going, we are the world!!

He wanted to let them know that there was hope.

Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 is one of my favorite albums by Janet. Exuding her declaration of independence from her family and being compared to her older brother Michael Jackson, State of the World is about the awareness of the increasing drugs, violence, and poverty going on in the world during the album's release (1989). These social determinants of health are still relevant today, and Janet is bringing awareness to these determinants.

The song "Maria Maria" tells the story of two lovers growing up in the culturally vibrant Spanish Harlem in New York City. The song depicts someone who is stressed due to living in a challenging environment, and is trying to figure out “ways to make it better”. The mention of a favela also reflects a common theme of America, seen as a glorified place of fortune and opportunity from the outside, presents difficult challenges to its new immigrants. Challenges such as violence, crime, and poverty.

Marvin Gaye introduced the world to the 1971 What's Going On album. The classic album was released during The Vietnam War. Social injustice is evident in every song (9) on the album the album; however, Flyin' High emphasizes addiction. The presence of drugs have hindered many communities by assisting users in self-destructing and causing trauma for millions. This song is a commentary on the social determinants of health but more specifically under social and community context, neighborhood and built environment, and health care and quality.

"Race relation, segregation, no occupation world inflation, demonstration, miseducation, no celebration to celebrate your lives.." The above lyrics by the neo soul artist, Erykah Badu, indirectly discussed education access and quality, neighborhood and built environment, economic stability, and social and community context. The album, Baduizm, contain lyrics that oddly enough describe today's social and political unjust.

Armada Latina (or “Latin Army”) is a song by Cypress Hill, a Cuban-American Hip Hop duo, featuring prominent Latin artists Pitbull (Cuban) and Marc Anthony (Puerto Rican). This is an ode to Latin American pride. As of today, Latinos are one of the nation’s fastest growing minority groups. However, some Latinos may feel removed from this identity - due to race (ex: Afro-Latinos) and the colorism that exists today in Latin America, immigration statuses, etc. Cypress Hill, Pitbull, and Marc Anthony emphasize Latin unity,  as there are several barriers Latinos must overcome - and almost all impact health equity. They remind us to keep our heads up, as the fight is only beginning.

The song is mostly in English but the chorus is sung in Spanish by Marc Anthony. Here’s a translation:

“Oh Caribbean - Land of my beautiful people
Sky and sun follow me wherever I go
Little brother, the fight is just beginning
I was born with Taino blood”
