Overall Meaning

The song "Police in Helicopter" by John Holt, Sizzla addresses the issue of the police using helicopters to search for marijuana with the help of soldiers. The lyrics narrate the frustration of the Rastafarian community who believes in the use of marijuana for religious and medicinal purposes. The repeated phrase "Yes boss" suggests that they are complying with the authorities and showing respect but are unhappy with the situation. The lyrics also indicate that the police are targeting the Rastafarian community by searching for marijuana in the streets, fields and even with the aid of helicopters. The fear of having their supply of marijuana taken away and their crops destroyed prompts the Rastafarian community to warn against continuing the destruction of their herbs. The lyrics convey a message of resistance and a call for peaceful protests against the government interference in their tradition.
