Lyrics How Long - Kojo Antwi

How long
How long
Should we be drawers of water
How long
We struggle and struggle to make ends meet
We try to scratch a honest living from our land
Continually they remind us never to
Forget our role as drawers of water
How long
The class struggle will go on
The power struggle will go on
The sexism and racism will go on
Until right overcome wrong
I know they will try to perpetuate our role as mere producers
I know I know they will try to
Consolidate their role as happy consumers
I know
How long
It's been too long too long
How long
How long must our children go to bed on empty belly
How long
How long
Must we suffer hell on earth
How long
How long
Must we live as refugees in our homeland
How long
How long
Must we suffer in silence I rest my case your honour
