How Much Longer Songtext
von Rootz Underground

Ready?
Everybody know right now if you love
Reggae music let me hear you say yeah!
Alright, ah reggae we come fi play
Yeah this one is going out to all my brethren
And sistren who living on the street
Oh no, they got no food to eat, they got no clothes to wear
They got no one to love
Yeah you know, hold tight to the struggle Iyah
Uh, remember the poor, could be I and I for sure

How much longer will we waste away by the side of the road
And 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 dem a soldier
Still I really wonder what dem fighting for, more war?


How much longer we ask you
You 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
Dem a wonder how we move so, and I pray
And everyday it goes true, and I know
I hear Jah voice, it's calling you too, it′s calling you too
It's calling you to no worry and cry
Like everyday and every night, wild child

And me say how much longer will we be weak
Just because dem say we shall, no way
How much longer, dem locking all the
Prophets now away inna mental hospital
I feel much stronger over my enemies
They don't got no love at all
Youths say dem a soldier
And still I really wonder what dem fighting for


How much longer dem end up in disaster
I can see that dem days move faster
Even now that dem against the wall
Just because Rabbababylon a fall
In dem pot is witches brew
They don′t care ′bout me nor you
Inoculation and our brain
Check how badness what they do
How much longer dem conquer space
Building colonies on the moon
Children here are starving on earth
I and I just want some food
How much longer dem taking
How much longer dem killing
How much longer dem deceiving I
Tell a warrior cry
Like everyday and every night, wild child
Jah children rappers if you with me, one more time

And me say how much longer dem end up in disaster
I can see that dem days move faster
Even now that dem against the wall
Just because Rabbababylon a fall
In dem pot is witches brew
They don't care ′bout me nor you
Inoculation and our brain
Check how badness what they do
And how much longer dem conquer space
Building colonies on the moon
Children here are dying on earth
I and I just want some food
How much longer dem mad
How much longer dem mad
How much longer dem killing I
But still a warrior fly
And everyday and every night, oh yeah
Escaping traps that dem lay for I, dubwise

For I see that dignity
Jah protect you on the street side
People of Jah on the street
Love conquers all
Wicked shall fall, well love conquers all
The wicked shall fall, well love conquers all
The wicked a no fall and no love conquers all
The wicked a no fall and then a

Because we drinking from the spiritual cup
When Babylon a break it down, we gonna build it up
We come to conquer and we'll never bow down low
When Babylon a break it down, we gonna build it up right now

It′s nice to be here with you
Remember to love one another for true
And inna underground, you be alright now
You be alright now, you be alright now, you be alright now
You see Jah light now, you see Jah, you see Jah
You see Jah light now, Jah light now

Yes I remember to love the poor, that's for sure you know
And Jah send out all your love to protect them on the street side
And unity in the world is necessary right now yeah
Jah love within the world is very necessary
Jah love within the world is very necessary
Iyah say

We drinking from the spiritual cup
When Babylon a break it down, we gonna rise up
We come to conquer and we′ll never bow down low
When Babylon a break it down, we gonna build it up right now

Yes Jah children remember to love you know
Love conquers all when Babylon fall
One more thing to say you'll be alright now
You'll be alright now, you see Jah light now
You see Jah light now, you see Jah light now
You see Jah, we see Jah
We feel Jah love now, it′s all around
