How Much Longer will we waste away by the side of the road?
How much longer will they enslave my mind even my body and soul?
Feel much stronger, over my enemies they don't got no love at all
Some youths say them a soldier, still a wonder what they're really fighting for
"How much Longer?" we ask you
You are gonna play in those games of disaster
When I know that Rastafari, my one and only way
The only way for I and I, well what can I say?
Night and day, them a wonder how me move so
And I pray and everyday it goes through
And I know, I hear Jah voice is calling you
It's calling you, yes it's calling you
'Til a warrior cry
Everyday and every night
I'm asking how much longer, will we be weak just because them say we shall, no way?
How much longer them locking all the prophets them away now in a mental hospital
Feel much stronger over my enemies they don't got no love at all
Some youths say them a soldiers, still I wonder what them really fighting for
How much longer they'll end up in disaster?
I can see that they're days move faster
Even now that they're back is against the wall
Just because robber Babylon a fall
In them pot is witches brew
They don't care 'bout me nor you
Inoculation on my brain
Check a stock that's all they do
How much longer them fly gone space
Building colonies on the moon
Children here are starving on earth
I and I Just want some food
How Much longer them beating I?
How much longer them killing I?
How much longer them deceiving I?
Until a warrior cry
He'll be drinking from a spiritual cup
When Babylon breaks it down
We're gonna build it up
We come to conquer and we'll never bow down low
When Babylon a break it down
We're gonna build it up right now
Yo right now
Right now
You'll be alright now
You'll be alright now
