Lyrics 400 Years (featuring Peter Tosh) - Bob Marley

400 Years (featuring Peter Tosh)

And it’s the same —
The same (wo-o-o-o) philosophy
I’ve said it’s four hundred years;
(400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o)
Look, how long (wo-o-o-o)
And the people they (wo-o-o-o) 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. Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o)
I can (wo-o-o-o) see time (wo-o-o-o) — time has come,
And if-a fools don’t see
(fools don’t see, fools don’t see. Wo-o-o-o)
I can’t save the youth:
The youth (wo-o-o-o) 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: 400 years, (400 years, 400 years) —
Way too long!
(wo-o-o-o)
That’s the reason my people (wo-o-o-o) — my people can’t see.
Said, it’s four hundred long years — (400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o)
Give me patience (wo-o-o-o) — same philosophy.
It’s been 400 years, (400 years, 400 years)
Wait so long!
Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o.
How long?
400 long, long years.
