How Long

(album: On A High - 2021)

Oh-yeah, ayy, ayy
Ah-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Feel the breeze, make the change
Know that freedom comes your way
Stand at ease, raise Jah name
Now what else can I say?
Free around, love the children
Be as happy as they like
Guns and bombs are in the factories
And it's just to take our lives

So long now, too long now
How long now wi deh yah an so far
So long now, too long now
How long now wi deh yah an so far

The height of it, jus di cut of the pit
Jus of those who they kill and hide in a ditches
Gotta work hard just to make it good
But nothing really happen like it really should
I wanna go to school, that's the only route
School fees so expensive, when I hear it I shout
So you try to get a job because you're ambitious
They treat you like a slave how dem a handle you so
The government don't really look out for us
Instead it's more trucks put out for us
Oh, gosh it's so hard living in the slammer
Pray every day for better to come

So long now, too long now
How long now wi deh yah an so far
So long now, too long now
How long now wi deh yah an so far

Feel the breeze, make the change
Know that freedom comes your way
Stand at ease, raise Jah name
Now what else can I say?
Free around, love the children
Be as happy as they like
Guns and bombs are in the factories
And it's just to take our lives

So long now, too long now
How long now wi deh yah an so far
So long now, too long now
How long now wi deh yah an so far

The height of it, jus di cut of the pit
Jus of those who they kill and hide in a ditches
Gotta work hard just to make it good
But nothing really happen like it really should
I wanna go to school, that's the only route
School fees so expensive, when I hear it I shout
So you try to get a job because you're ambitious
They treat you like a slave how dem a handle you so
The government don't really look out for us
Instead it's more trucks put out for us
Oh, gosh it's so hard living in the slammer
Pray every day for better to come

So long now, too long now
How long now wi deh yah an so far
So long now, too long now
How long now wi deh yah an so far
So long now, too long now
How long now wi deh yah an so far
So long now, too long now
How long now wi deh yah an so far
