Long, Long Ago - Groundation, Harrison Stafford

Long before the river did turn to dust

Man and man use to talk and

There was plenty food for all of them

The herb grew so free

We thought we too must be free

But now oh how wrong we were

We watched the pirates come in

Spittin' pon I yard

As they tore down head waters

Spittin' pon I yard

As they tore down back so wall

Fear not those who try to steal your culture

Stand firm like the bush doctor (x 2)

Sail on you feared pirates I say

As we’ll be taking our shelter

Beneath the young tree

Fly on you fallen angels I pray

And we’ll be taking our shelter

Underneath the young tree

Now maybe their ships have gone

But mental scares do remain

To divide and confuse Jah people

Fighting against this reality

With their ego power games

We knew not how to play

They’re running away our culture

But I know we will survive

Left in I man yard to rebuild up head waters

Left in I yard to protecting back o wall

Fear not those who try to steal your culture

Stand firm like the bush doctor (x 2)
