Max Romeo – Black Equality lyrics

How long will it take? Oh, for right
For your children to get justice? Oh, for right
What's going to happen to this coming generation?
What's gonna happen to this wicked nation?

Step in, oh, for right, please step in
Show your power, oh, for right, show your power
How long shall we live under police brutality?
I think it?s time for black man to get equality

The time is now, oh, for right, the time is now
Separate the wolves from the sheep
Save your children, oh, for right, save your children
Save them from the wicked while they sleep

We have suffered enough, oh, for right
But how long will it last, oh, for right
Politicians chew their cigars as they drive in their big cars
Show them power, oh, for right, show them power

The time is now for right, the time is now
Separate the wolves from the sheep
Save your children, oh for right, save your children
Save them from the wicked while they sleep

We have suffered enough, oh, for right
But how long will it last? Oh, for right
Politicians chew their cigars as they drive in their big cars
If their wicked, oh, for right, smack them down

Show them power, oh, for right, show them power
