Biography:
1. Groundation is a Fusion-Reggae band based in Sonoma County, California. It was established in 1998 by Harrison Stafford, Ryan Newman and Marcus Urani upon their meeting at the Jazz program at Sonoma State University. Groundation's music incorporates the lyrical struggle of Roots Reggae, the progressive musicianship of Funk/Jazz fusion, and other-worldly transcendental Dub.
The 9-piece band creates an altogether new Reggae sound, featuring swirling horns, stout poly-rhythmics, and soulful harmony vocals.

CHORUS: | Ab | Cm | Ab Bb | Cm | x2
Congress man, let us stop exploiting our children.
To all them gangsta man, I beg you stop caressing our women too.
VERSE: | Cm | Db | Eb Db | C | (x4)
You seal yourself behind dem walls, thinking nothing could ever get to you.
You don’t even care about the children, looting and shooting dem brothers and sisters down.
Meanwhile our country is bombing somewhere in the middle of Afghanistan.
And they don’t even care about the people, who suffer and die in Oakland.
Well that’s not my plan, yeah.
CHORUS: | Ab | Cm | Ab Bb | Cm | x2
Congress man, let us stop exploiting our children.
To all them gangsta man, stop caressing our women too.
VERSE: | Cm | Db | Eb Db | C | (x4)
You hide yourself behind your dollar, which one day crumble down to the ground.
You don’t seem to care about the youth man, as you glorify the murderer you know.
Today we’re living in illusion, between reality and what is on MTV.
Believe my prophet saying ‘Half the story has not yet been told’.
And this I know, yeah.
CHORUS: | Ab | Cm | Ab Bb | Cm | x2
Congress man, let us stop exploiting our children.
Gangsta man, I beg you stop caressing our women too.
OUTRO: | Bb Ab | Cm | (until the end)
Oh Lord yeah, oh Lord yeah, oh Lord yeah.
As the world goes out in flames, no, the youth men are not to blame.
To all evil workers underneath the sun, your time is done.
Your time is done. your time is done...
