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 defense
Sit pon a shaky Foundation
