Bass dub reggae is a big thing in France with names like La Phaze, Mei Tei Sho and High Tone. Zenzile is a socially conscious band with a clear political program. They have assumed it their responsibility to get into any field where they feel that their human fellows are persecuted. They are against the politics and politicians who have no regard for human rights and the lives of their fellow people.
Since reggae has assumed the role of peace music, Zenzile has gathered itself under the most appropriate banner to launch their offensive against the world that forgets about its obligations. They are particularly critical of the areas where people can make a difference but they are not doing it because of their own vested interest, rather for the rights and quality of life of every human being.

Zenzile Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But what I feel for you is real love
In other's eyes I see reflected
A hurt, scorned, rejected
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, born in poverty
Love child, never meant to be
I started my life in an old, cold run down tenement slum
My father left, he never even married mom
I shared the guilt my momma knew
So afraid that others knew I had no name
This love we're contemplating
Is worth the pain of waiting
We'll only end up hating
The child we may be creating
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, (scorned by) society
Love child, always second best
Love child (different from), different from the rest
Mm, baby (hold on, hold on, just a little bit)
Mm, baby (hold on, hold on, just a little bit)
I started school, in a worn, torn, dress that somebody threwout
I knew the way it felt, to always live in doubt
To be without the simple things
So afraid my friends would see the guilt in me
Don't think that I don't need you
Don't think I don't want to please you
But no child of mine will be bearing
The name of shame I've been wearing
Love child, love child, never quite as good
Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood
But I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
The song "Love Child" by Zenzile & Jamika tells the story of a person who was born out of wedlock and grew up in poverty. Despite being judged by society and feeling ashamed and misunderstood, the person still believes in love and longs for a meaningful relationship. The lyrics reflect the struggles of someone who has been rejected and scorned by others, but still desires to be loved and accepted. The chorus emphasizes the theme of being a "love child", which signifies a child who was born out of wedlock and was not meant to be, but still deserves love and respect like any other child.
The verses describe the hardships that the person faced growing up, including living in a rundown tenement slum and wearing old, torn clothes to school. The lyrics also express the fear of being judged by others and feeling guilty for being different. The refrain "hold on, hold on, just a little bit" suggests that despite the challenges that the person has faced, they still believe in the power of love and are willing to wait for the right person.
The overall message of the song is that everyone deserves love, regardless of their circumstances or background. The lyrics reflect the experiences of many people who have grown up in poverty or have faced discrimination based on their race, gender, or sexuality. The song encourages listeners to have empathy for those who have been rejected by society and to strive to create a world where everyone is accepted for who they are.

You think that I don't feel love
I know you doubt my love for you

They scorn and reject me because of our love

If we had a child, it would be born into poverty
Love child, take a look at me
Look at me, I am the result of a forbidden love
I started my life in an old, cold run down tenement slum
I was born in a dilapidated slum
My father left, he never even married mom
My father abandoned my mother before I was born
I shared the guilt my momma knew
My mother and I both bear the shame of my illegitimacy
So afraid that others knew I had no name
I fear that others know I am a love child without a proper name
This love we're contemplating
This love we are considering having a child from
Is worth the pain of waiting

The child we may be creating
The hypothetical child we might conceive

Hang in there with me, my love
I started school, in a worn, torn, dress that somebody threwout
I attended school in discarded, ragged clothing
I knew the way it felt, to always live in doubt
I was always uncertain of my identity and worth
To be without the simple things
I lacked the basic necessities of life
So afraid my friends would see the guilt in me
I was ashamed my friends would discover my secret
Don't think that I don't need you
I rely on you and our love
Don't think I don't want to please you
I want to fulfill your needs and desires
But no child of mine will be bearing
Our love will not produce a child
The name of shame I've been wearing
Our child should not bear the stigma I have suffered
Love child, love child, never quite as good
Our child will never be fully accepted
Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood
Our child will be shamed and misunderstood
But I'll always love you
I will always love you, despite the challenges
I'll always love you
I will always cherish you
I'll always love you
I will always be devoted to you
I'll always love you
I will love you forever
I'll always love you
My love for you is unwavering
I'll always love you
Until the end of time, I will love you
