about

'Jump the Gun' is the next tease from Sunshine Coast roots gurus, Bearfoot's debut LP (due in 2020).
Working again with producer Paulie B at Yama Nui studios, Bearfoot go back to the darker-tinged reggae, harking back to their first release, 'Impolite', while still keeping the bounce and groove that Bearfoot fans know and love.

lyrics

Some a go hungry while some dem belly full
Some work for power and some be working for their food
Try point ya finger when three be pointing back at you
Keep running while your on the run

While there's some who take their time there'll be others who jump the gun take a minute and realise that the race is already won
Call on everyone you know
spread the message loud and clear
We be marching on to Zion
And the gates are open derr

Some live in excess with plenty of wiggle room
Some live with nothing they be lucky if they go school
Try and deni this inequality we're born into
Keep running while your on the run

Bringing the raga sound we mash it up inna ya face
Calling my brothers out to send this message on its way
United we stand, divided we fall
Come with ya family come when ya called
Come when ya broken, healing's ahead, head head head

Looking on as margins grow between the 1 percent
And families selling off their kids just to pay the rent
Wars are burning up the streets, households with no food to eat
You'll come to realise we're the lucky ones indeed

about

Bearfoot Sunshine Coast, Australia

We stand for a creative culture. We were born to bring a message to the streets. We come together, our voice as one. We sing together to get this thing done.

We bring the bass. We bang the drum.
We blow the horn. The guitars we strum.
We play the keys. And have the harmonies.

We are Bearfoot.

Our fists in the air, white knuckle.

Our voices out loud, no struggle. ... more
