The War We Lost (drugs)

You can hear and purchase the new track here:
The war on drugs kills more than it saves!!!!!!!!!
We built a war not on evil, but on pain,
Brought the hammer down on users,
But the dealers changed the game.
Crack replaced the weed,
And the streets began to bleed,
While the powerful got richer
On another broken creed.
[Chorus – Choir + Pope of Love]
🔔 Oh Lord, they said it was a war to save our sons,
But all I see are prisons full and loaded guns.
You can’t kill addiction with a badge and a law—
The War on Drugs? Just a fatal flaw.
(Amen... say it with me now)
The War on Drugs? Just a fatal flaw!
[Verse 2 – Rap/Slam Style]
Lock ‘em up, throw the key,
Label pain as felony.
Junkie, criminal, enemy—
No rehab, just penalty.
Meanwhile pharma made a killing,
Slinging Oxy with a smile,
DEA was busy filling
Cells across the poorest miles.
[Bridge – Whispered Confession]
No safe place to use, no place to heal,
No truth in the system, just a bad deal.
Every needle a gamble,
Every gram a game,
And the names of the dead
Ain’t in Fortune or Fame.
[Chorus – Louder, Gospel Style]
🔔 Oh Lord, they said it was a war to make us whole,
But all I see are mothers with a pain-shaped hole.
You can’t heal a wound with a prison wall—
The War on Drugs? Just a fatal flaw.
Tell the world!
The War on Drugs? Just a fatal flaw!
[Verse 3 – Pope's Sermon]
Now listen, my beloved freaks and seekers—
The law was loud, but never wise.
It punished pain, rewarded lies.
It feared the high, not the why.
It made a business outta grief,
While justice died in disbelief.
They criminalized the cry for help,
Painted needles black and white,
But never questioned why the night
Felt safer than the light.
[Final Chorus – All Voices, Big & Raw]
🔔 Oh Lord, they said it was a war to save the youth,
But the streets got darker, and we lost the truth.
You don’t fight sickness with fear and shame—
You fight it with love, with care, with names.
✨ Say their names. Heal the flame.
The War on Drugs? It dies today.
The Pope of Love has this to say:
LOVE is the only way.
LOVE is the only way.
LOVE is the only way.
Brought the hammer down on users,
But the dealers changed the game.
Crack replaced the weed,
And the streets began to bleed,
While the powerful got richer
On another broken creed.
