How Long Songtext
von Etana

How long will the people suffer, how long?
How long will the people struggle, how long?
How long will the people have to fight, how long?
While the leaders carry on
Promises don′t feed hungry belly
Set your traps, you kill ghetto pickney
Then you lie, then you steal, from the poor you mistreat
But soon will come, your day
How long will the children have to cry, how long?
Will they be forgiven, what did they do wrong?
How long will they have to fight, destroying their lives?
While the leaders carry on
Promises don't feed hungry belly
Set your traps, you kill ghetto pickney
Then you lie, then you steal, from the poor you mistreat
But soon will come, your day
Oooo... eh eh eh ehhh
Your children children children
How long? How long? Oooo... Ooooo How looo-ooong... Eh
You will surely get a beating, for all your wrongs
Hey you, tell me how long
How long? How long? Eh
Can′t you hear... Oh
