Lyrics

Four hundred years (Four hundred years, four hundred years)
Of the same philosophy
Four hundred years (Four hundred years, four hundred years)
And, the people, they still can't see
Why do they fight against
The youth of today?
And without youths
You'd be gone, all gone astray
Come on, let's make a move (Make a move, make a move)
Now that the time, the time has come
Fools don't see (Fools don't see, fools don't see)
But I know, the weak is strong
So, come with me
To a land of liberty
Where we can live
Live our lives and be free
Four hundred years (Four hundred years, four hundred years)
Of the same, the same philosophy
Four hundred years (Four hundred years, four hundred years)
And my people still cannot see
Come with me, you black and you brown
You got to be free
Stop sittin' down on your pride
Just can't hide, woah
Four hundred years (Four hundred years, four hundred years)
Same, same philosophy
Four hundred years (Four hundred years, four hundred years)
Why do Black people close their eyes?
Come to reality (Four hundred years, four hundred years)
You've got ability
Just can't see
Four hundred years (Four hundred years, four hundred years)
