G is for Graduation song release
Dry Island Buffalo Jump have collaborated with Dr Chemical, the award winning rapper from Tanzania (also known by her name Claudia Lubao)! The song “G is for Graduation” is a celebration song for everyone graduating from anywhere!
It was released on the day Dr Chemical graduated with her PhD from the University of St Andrews on Wednesday the 2nd of July 2025. Songwriting credits go to Dry Island Buffalo Jump’s Dr Jonathan Kemp and Dr Claudia Lubao (a.k.a Dr Chemical)! Please do check it out on all digital music platforms. The chorus words G, C and D are the chords/melody notes so its a cool song to teach in music classes too.
When I saw you
I knew that I’d found my kind
We’d be the best part of our lives
(A new home in your eyes)When you saw me
I knew that I’d found myself
We’d share in one another’s dreams
(A new home in our team)When the road was rough
We were strong enough
And the time is now
Darling take a bowChorus:
G is for graduation
C is for celebration
D is for dedication to you
(and you)Repeat Chorus
When I miss you
I know that I can call you up
We’ll know what the other will say
(And then ask anyway)When you miss me
Just call and I’ll be by your side
At night we’ll look up at the stars
(And recall who we are)When the road is rough
We’ll be strong enough
And the time is now
Darling take a bowRepeat Chorus x 2
Grew through the storm and the doubt and the pain
Rose through the norm with the fire in my brain
Stood in the crowd, never bowed to the strain
Now we shine in our gowns, every loss was a gain
Cheers to the courage, the climb and the crew
Came from the bottom but we dreamed of the view
Carry on the love, the lesson and the truth
Crown on your head ‘cos you piled right through it
And days full of doubt, of delay and defeat
Dug in with drive, never dared to retreat
Done with the fear now we dance to the beat
Destiny’s calling and we stand on our feetWhen the road is rough
We’ll be strong enough
And the time is now
Darling take a bow(Sing along)
Repeat Chorus x 4
– G is for Graduation
