How Long Lyrics


How long
Must I keep going on?
To see all this pain in the world
How long, oh
Tell me, tell me
Tell me
How long?Ooh, oh, ow, oh
I talked my brother the other day
He said brother
Please, gimme a little fix
Huh
I look at him and said
Brother, don't leave me (repeat)How long?
Must you keep suffering like this?You know how people suffering
They looking for something, something to look up to
They looking for a changeHow long?WellWhat I'm gonna do
What I'm gonna say
America!

Please hear me
Make this world right, ooh people

Charles Bradley is no stranger to hard times. Born in Gainesville, Florida in 1948 and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Charles spent the better part of his childhood living on the streets. One of the more optimistic moments of his childhood came in 1962, when his sister took him to see James Brown at The Apollo. Brown’s energy formed a lasting impression on Charles. He went home and immediately began practicing microphone tricks with a broom attached to a string, imitating the Godfather’s every move.
