Lyrics Longtime - Lyricson

It's been a longtime striving to survive on the front line
Such a longtime representing for the poor the weak and the blind
It's been a longtime chanting to free up the youths mind
Such a longtime I know some day my people are going to shine
Well a longtime rasta is there on the battlefield
With the Almighty Father as my Guide and Shield
Burning down Babylon with all of my skills
They can't get me out I'm tougher than steel
Jah give me strength so I can't get defeat
All when the road get so rocky and steep
They can't take this fire, say they can't take the heat
Jah give I power so I never get weak
It's been a longtime striving to survive on the front line
Such a longtime representing for the poor the weak and the blind
It's been a longtime chanting to free up the youths mind
Such a longtime I know some day my people are going to shine
Unity is strength a longtime we chant it
Babylon free up my people from your bondage
Give us some equal rights no more disadvantage
A longtime we bawl for some justice
Enemies pray to see us stumble and fall,
Want see our back stuck against the wall
Can't put me down can't make me crawl,
Jah make me rise up strong and stand tall
Every day I trod forward,
Never look backward, bad mind people want see me get awkward
See I keep rising for the top,
I'm never going to flop, Hailing Selassie non stop
It's been a longtime striving to survive on the front line
Such a longtime representing for the poor the weak and the blind
It's been a longtime chanting to free up the youths mind
Such a longtime I know some day my people are going to shine
6 feet under is where they want to see me
Through I don't stop defending the ghetto community
A longtime we tell them too much iniquity
Every day they pressure poor people with no pity
They want to lock us in a jail, pray to see us fail
Want see us drown but our ship still sails
By the powers of the Most High we still maintain
I know the righteous must prevail
It's been a longtime striving to survive on the front line
Such a longtime representing for the poor the weak and the blind
It's been a longtime chanting to free up the youths mind
Such a longtime I know some day my people are going to shine
A longtime, longtime, longtime
It's been a longtime striving to survive on the front line
Such a longtime representing for the poor the weak and the blind
It's been a longtime chanting to free up the youths mind
Such a longtime I know some day my people are going to shine
