How Long? Songtext
D-Maub:
Uh, I′ve seen a lot in my time frame/
How we can be so hypocritical, it's a crying change (?)/
I pray some education come from what I′m saying/
It's hard to drop the joystick, playing these mind games/
And I'm included, we can be so secluded/
Thinking we serving living water when really it′s diluted/
And we see a mistake with each other but won′t dispute it/
But holding each other accountable is therapeutic/
Yeah, how many times have we witnessed somebody struggle, long as it don't come inside of our bubble won′t move a muscle/
Going out my way is honourable but sometime I tussle/
While serving somebody else in the progress of my hustle/
Man, we gotta figure out how to balance the scale and do more than tell about a leader who never fails/
But actually put in action what we know could make a change/
If we don't get involved, things will remain the same/
B. Reith:
How long will we keep on closing our eyes/
While people around us are hopeless inside/
I′m tired of always talking, not doing a thing/
B. Reith:
It's a jungle out there, monsters, lions, tigers, and bears/
Guerilla warfare while we sit here in our cubicles fully unaware and unconcerned with third world affairs/
Until it hits our backyards, hits our twin towers, then we cry out to God ask Him why weren′t you there?/
Do you even care?/
We the guilty accusing the innocent hang him on a cross bare/
Life ain't fair, full of levies and taxes and fares/
But what is that compared to the orphan in Darfur where there's no welfare?/
And what you′ve been playing on C.O.D. modern warfare is what she′s been seeing for the past 10 years/
God help us see cuz our vision's impaired/
This ain′t a guilt trip, let me make it clear/
I ain't pointing fingers I′m looking in the mirror/
Uh, I′ve seen a lot in my time frame/
How we can be so hypocritical, it's a crying change (?)/
I pray some education come from what I′m saying/
It's hard to drop the joystick, playing these mind games/
And I'm included, we can be so secluded/
Thinking we serving living water when really it′s diluted/
And we see a mistake with each other but won′t dispute it/
But holding each other accountable is therapeutic/
Yeah, how many times have we witnessed somebody struggle, long as it don't come inside of our bubble won′t move a muscle/
Going out my way is honourable but sometime I tussle/
