Nick Sefakis - Foundation

Sit pon a shaky foundation!
They build their house upon the sand
Rasta never trouble no man
A good vibration
Have to keep your head strong
Pay no mind to the lies they pass along!

See we nuh ball with nuh wicked man, come fi fight inna the dance no
Roll up a spliff and take it easy, we just come fi chant yo
Deh pon the riddim we toast a mic and rock it inna nice flow
Giving praises to the king, him sit upon the throne gold
For too long, for too long…
Babylon them have us slaving on and on
For too long, for too long…
They build a nation upon a falling ground!

Sit pon a shaky foundation!
They build their house upon the sand
Rasta never trouble no man
A good vibration
Have to keep your head strong
Pay no mind to the lies they pass along!

What is a tree without a solid root foundation?
Even if it looks nice and strong
Remember every tree that stand tall, eventually will fall
If the ground won’t let the roots take form!

Sit pon a shaky foundation!
They build their house upon the sand
Rasta never trouble no man
A good vibration
Have to keep your head strong
Pay no mind to the lies they pass along!

I said I’m leaving, I was never gonna stay!
I said I’m learning and I’ll never go astray!
Say I may bend but I will never break
You can bend my branches but the seeds already spread
You can try and cut me down but roots will grow again
Deep inna the soil, mother give I nutrients
Educate the youth with no color preference
Give them confidence so they’re not living in defence

Sit pon a shaky foundation!
