Four hundred years and it's the same
The same philosophy
I've said it's four hundred 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 lets
Make a move I can see the time
The time has come
And if 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
And the people my people can't see
I've said it's four hundred years
Give me patience the same philosophy
