Long Time

Now this one gonna burn down Babylon kingdom
Rastafari know this is cutty wrong
So any fi try a when we a come up
We a come up armed to the teeth
Lord have mercy
You think we a play with dem?

Can't you see the times are changing?
World leaders they are rearranging
Can't you see the times are changing?
World leaders they are exploiting

Long time me a tell you Babylon a go bun
Long time me a tell dem fi get up and run
Long time me a tell dem dem judgement a go come
Long time me a tell dem fi gwan go settle down
Long time dem a promote mental slavery
Long time dem a keep down we black history
Spoil up the youth, change up dem mentality
Right yah now Babylon yah deal with brutality

Demonstration in the street everyday
Poor people just can't see their way
Oh God Almighty, to you we look and pray
The people are fighting to make do and see it

Long time dem a promote dem big poverty
Long time dem a promote mental slavery
Long time me a tell dem fi go pon dem knee
Long time dem fi pray to the Almighty
Long time me a tell the boy fi cry creed
Now dem bow down and a beg pon dem knee

Look how long slavery abolish
When I look around nothing my people accomplish
Hustling and bustling in the street everyday
Nothing for the youth, so their minds start to stray
So, guiltiness, bitterness rest on your mind
Rest on your mind, you see
Rest on your mind
Rest on your mind, you see

Long time me a tell dem fi cool and settle down
Long time me a tell dem fi put down dem gun
Long time me a watch dem with dem nuclear weapon
Long time me a hear seh dem building the bomb
See it deh, now things get out of hand

Guiltiness, bitterness rest on your mind
Rest on your mind, you see
