400 Years
Peter Tosh
Four hundred years (400 years, 400 years)
And it's the same
The same philosophy
I've said it's four hundred years (400 years, 400 years)
Look, how long
And the people they still can't see.
Why do they fight against the poor youth of today?
And without these youths, they would be gone
All gone astray
Come on, let's make a move
(Make a move, make a move)
I can see time, time has come
And if-a fools don't see (fools don't see, fools don't see)
I can't save the youth
The youth is gonna be strong
So, won't you come with me?
I'll take you to a land of liberty
Where we can live, live a good, good life
And be free
Look how long, four hundred years
Way too long!
That's the reason my people, my people can't see.
Said, it's four hundred long years (400 years, 400 years)
Give me patience, same philosophy
It's been four hundred years, (400 years, 400 years)
Wait so long!
How long? Four hundred long, long years
