Lyrics
How long will it take? Oh, for right
Expressing impatience about achieving justice
For your children to get justice? Oh, for right
Emphasizing the need for justice for future generations
What's going to happen to this coming generation?
Pondering the fate of the upcoming generation
What's gonna happen to this wicked nation?
Raising concern about the destiny of a corrupt nation
Step in, oh, for right, please step in
Urging for intervention and justice
Show your power, oh, for right, show your power
Calling for the demonstration of righteous power
How long shall we live under police brutality?
Questioning the endurance of police brutality
I think it?s time for black man to get equality
Advocating for equality for the black community
The time is now, oh, for right, the time is now
Stating that the time for action is now
Separate the wolves from the sheep
Metaphorically separating oppressors from the oppressed
Save your children, oh, for right, save your children
Calling for protection of the next generation
Save them from the wicked while they sleep
Urging safeguarding against harm while sleeping
We have suffered enough, oh, for right
Expressing the endured suffering
But how long will it last, oh, for right
Persistently questioning the duration of suffering
Politicians chew their cigars as they drive in their big cars
Criticizing indifferent politicians and their luxuries
Show them power, oh, for right, show them power
Reiterating the call for the demonstration of power
The time is now for right, the time is now
Reemphasizing the urgency for action
Separate the wolves from the sheep
Repeating the metaphor of separating oppressors
Save your children, oh for right, save your children
Reiterating the call to save the next generation
Save them from the wicked while they sleep
Reiterating the need to protect against harm during sleep
We have suffered enough, oh, for right
Reiterating the endured suffering
But how long will it last? Oh, for right
Persistently questioning the duration of suffering
Politicians chew their cigars as they drive in their big cars
Reiterating criticism of indifferent politicians
If their wicked, oh, for right, smack them down
Advocating for decisive action against the wicked
Show them power, oh, for right, show them power
Reiterating the call for the demonstration of power
