Groundation is a roots reggae band from the bay area in California. They already have 4
albums out.
What was learned from my father, yes I'll teach it to my son
What was learned from my mother, yes I'll teach it to my daughter
For you must remember my friend, the line of history stretches far beyond we
And still we stand time, and time again as a tribute to them
(we'll call this the pre-chorus)
Well now tell me if there's one thing that you're wanting, you gotta let me know
Tell me something, tell me anything, why did they all have to go
For if there's one thing, that you're wanting, you gotta let me know
Say something, say anything, before I have to go, for Zion is awaiting
(chorus)
Jah people in this life, you got to be head strong, head strong
Teach your children right, or they won't live too long, too long
Jah people in this life, you got to be head strong, head strong
Live up in the right, or you won't live too long, too long
...
(Right here there there is a long instrumental part with the singer singing just a few
things in the distance, play those chords until it ends)
What was learned from my father, yes I'll teach it to my daughter
What was learned from my mother, yes I'll teach it to my son
For it was them who said, don't get mixed up in your knowledge of today...
(And then head on back up to the pre-chorus and chorus for one more round, and that's it.)
