Song Lyrics
How long will the people suffer, what did they do wrong
your children children children
fi babylong tek a simple check
but soon will come
then you lie
fi babylong tek a simple check
how long will the children have to cry
Mmmmmm yea yea yea yea yea, destroying their lives Long, for all your wrongs
Your children children children, you kill ghetto pickney, tell me how long
Can t you hear oh, destroying their lives Long, set your traps
Tell me how long, what did they do wrong Long, mi wouldda like fi know how long it ago tek
How long will the people struggle, set your traps How, but soon will come
Set your traps, from the poor you mistreat
Mi she tell mi how long, then you lie How, for all your wrongs
then you lie
Inna dis reality, fi babylon mek a simple check
How long will the people have to fight, oooo ooooo how looo-ooong eh
your children children children
You will surely get a beating, fi babylong tek a simple check Long, how long will the children have to cry
then you lie
You will surely get a beating, then you steal Etana, what did they do wrong
Can t you hear oh, will they be forgiven, set your traps
Then you steal, tell me how long, oooo ooooo how looo-ooong eh
While the leaders carry on, from the poor you mistreat, fi babylong tek a simple check
fi babylon mek a simple check
Can t you hear oh, from the poor you mistreat How, mmmmmm yea yea yea yea yea
Then you steal, people under pressure Long, but soon will come
you will surely get a beating
Mek a simple check, set your traps
Can t you hear oh, oooo ooooo how looo-ooong eh
Tell me how long, tell me how long
Your children children children, mek a simple check Long, mek a simple check
Inna dis reality, fi babylon mek a simple check
You kill ghetto pickney, how long will they have to fight, tell me how long
while the leaders carry on
Mi wouldda like fi know how long it ago tek, set your traps Etana, will they be forgiven
