"Too Long Now" lyrics
Give thanks for life (yea)
Ohh
Give thanks for life
We give thanks for life
Ooh
We give thanks for life
They doing it for too long now (for too long now)
Doing it for too long (its too long now)
Ask dem a whose land now
Them selling out the people
Ooh
They doing it for too long now (for too long now)
Why yuh have to do wrong now (why do wrong now)
Ask dem a whose land now
Them selling out the people
Alright again
Dah one yah name lightning and thunder
Ago shook dem
Man ago buke the farmer man dem
And de cook dem
And tell de ganja man fi plant de kush dem
When de yute dem a step up
Yuh betta push dem
Nuff bwoy bex how nuh gyal nah look dem
And dem bex how nuh promoter nah book dem
Say dat dem a soldier but me seh a some rook dem
Inna de bottomless pit dem me ago put dem
Doing it for too long now (for too long now)
Doing it for too long (its too long now)
Ask dem a whose land now
Them selling out the people
Ooh
They doing it for too long now (for too long now)
Why yuh have to do wrong now (why do wrong now)
Ask dem a whose land now
Them selling out the people
Alright again
Cause Dem nuh fraid fi nil yuh
Dem nuh fraid fi kill yuh
Don't think for a second dat they wouldnt spill yuh
Dem nuh fraid fi kill yuh
Dem nuh fraid fi nil yuh
Babylon dem ready fi broke down
Dem nah guh build yuh
Dem nuh fraid fi kill yuh
Dem nuh fraid fi kill yuh
Don't think for a second dat they wouldn't spill yuh
Dem nuh fraid fi kill yuh
Dem nuh fraid fi kill yuh
Dem wah inject yuh and pill yuh
Me seh Day in and day out
Tell dem everyday
Rasta Far I
Seh we affi pray up
Beg jah fi mek we ting deh guh way up
Way up way up and stay up
Big chune a play
Yuh know we nah guh fail up
Bwoy diss de pot
And nuh big ting neva display up
Neva affi beat it
Place neva affi nail up
Empire Selassie we hail up
Dah one yah name
Too long now (for too long now)
Doing it for too long (its too long now)
Ask dem a whose land now
Them selling out the people
Ooh
They doing it for too long now (for too long now)
Why yuh have to do wrong now (why do wrong now)
Ask dem a whose land now
Them selling out the people
Ohh

We give thanks for life
Ooh

They doing it for too long now (for too long now)
Doing it for too long (its too long now)
Ask dem a whose land now
Them selling out the people
Ooh
They doing it for too long now (for too long now)
Why yuh have to do wrong now (why do wrong now)
Ask dem a whose land now
Them selling out the people
