At 2:22pm today, this song organically channeled through The Mothership Internet Radio’s rotation. Here, I interpret a deeper message and meaning. Music has always channeled messages and affected our vibes! Here’s what I get from this one. “Right is Right” was released in 1974 on the album, “Rufasized.”
Ifa teaches us to call what is black black and what is red red, meaning, call things what they are. The title of this song resonated there first. With this coming into Moonday’s rotation, the message rom the divine mothers, the lyrics take a higher twist.
Running to the fight
Stealing in the night
Like a dog to the bite
Everything in sight
Give me love, you say
There’s a price you gotta pay
Momma’s life you cannot play
Make things right you need to be saying
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Fist comes down
Blood on the ground
Momma’s cryin’
“Lord, have mercy!”
Mercy’s hard to find
It’s just a state of mind
Drop the slack, get out the way
We don’t have another day
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Said he’s comin’ by five, my friend
And I desire to live again
If you hear me, let me know
Woh woh woh woh, no, yeah
Running to the fight
Stealin’ in the night
A dog to bite
Everything in sight
Give me love, you say
There’s a price you gotta pay
Momma’s life you cannot play
Make things right you need to say
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Right is right
(I mean it, I)
Wrong is wrong
(Sing the song)
Said he’s comin’ by five, my friend
And I desire to live again
If you hear me, let me know
The world is full of woe, my God, God, yeah
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Right is right
Wrong is wrong

Right Is Right lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group
This song’s energy rings as a warning against the mistreatment of the Divine Feminine with lines like
Momma’s life you cannot play
Make things right you need to be saying
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
It also speaks to how we as a species need balance with how we treat the MOTHER earth we live on. The specific energy this song warns against is the thinking that we can be in imbalance, yet still reap the rewards of Divine Feminine devotion. It tells us to do the right thing in the first place….not only does it align us with blessings, it simply makes life easier!
Beam Up.
Ase in Love,
