The sun will smite this concrete jungle today The rain will fall in Africa Sunrise rising in the east From where I stand I see Jah moon rising right over yonder From where I'm standing Jah love got the groove From where I'm standing Jah works got the move Despite the wickedness Jah love got the groove Despite the runnings (chorus) Rough system well rough Got to come Well red ready, red, red, red Down in South Africa, war, war War are go down there so One set a man got the means and the schemes The ways oppress the other one well Their darkest fears soon reveal I hear freedom fighters wailing in Soweto Brothers let me tell you I feel your pain Feel your strain chorus Longtime we root Longtime we dey ya so Longtime we fighting for what For what we really wanted Concrete jungle, concrete jungle well ram African, Blackman, Chinaman, Indian here Whole lotta love Look at the rainbow people out there A there so we born A there sow the roots now With our futures hanging in despair chorus
