Majek Fashek – So Long Too Long

Arise from your sleep, Africa
Arise from your sleep, America
There’s work to be done, Africa
There’s work to be done, America
If we unite, we will be free so long, for too long
So long, for too long
We’ve been sitting down for so long
We’ve been fooling round for too long
We’ve been sitting down for so long
We’ve been sitting down for too long
So long, so long
For too long, too long
So long, so long
Too long, too long
Oh Lord, can you hear me now

Oh Lord

Remember, remember, long long time ago
When we used to live like prince and princess
Remember, remember, the pyramids of Egypt
When we used to live like prince and princess
Remember, remember, Marcus Garvey
Who had a dream for you Africa
Remember, remember, Martin Luther King
Who had a dream for you America
They say you are black, they say you are brown
They say dem white, they say you are brown
But only the Angels of God is white now
Only the Angels of God is white
So long, too long
So long, too long
We’ve been sitting down for so long
We’ve been fooling round for too long

Arise from your sleep, Africa
Arise from your sleep, America
There’s work to be done, Africa
There’s work to be done, America
If we unite, we will be free so long, for too long
So long, for too long
Remember, remember, remember, Marcus Garvey
Who had a dream for you Africa
Remember, remember, remember, Martin Luther King
Who had a dream for you America
Remember, remember, King Selassie
Who was betrayed by his people
Remember, remember, remember, Lord Jesus Christ
Who died for you and I forget, to get salvation
They say you are black (do you believe?)
They say you are brown (do you believe?)
But only the Angels of God is white, now
But only the Angels of Jah is white
So long, been too long
So long, been too long
We’ve been sitting down for so long
We’ve been fooling round for too long
We’ve been sitting down for so long
We’ve been fooling round for too long
So long, so long
For too long, too long
So long, so long
For too long, too long
So long, so long
For too long, too long
So long, so long
For too long, too long
So long, so long
For too long, too long
So long, so long
For too long, too long
So long, so long
For too long, too long
So long, so long
For too long, too long
So long, so long
For too long, too long
