How Long - Kojo Antwi

Song: How Long

Artiste: Kojo Antwi

Album: Densu

How long should we be hewers of weed

How long(2x)

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 (2x)

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 (4x)

It’s been too long too long

How long (3x)

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
