Lyrics Babylon Is Falling - Jonathan Emile

Babylon Is Falling

Babylon Is Falling
Babylon Is Falling
Babylon Falling
Babylon Falling (this year/my dear)
Babylon a babylon a fall
Babylon’s Falling
Babylon’s Falling
Seen?
(Verse 1)
Most of us can’t realize
Our worth, pon this earth
Downpressorman a Capitalize
He give you piece of the pie
To close ounu eyes, seen?
This cant maintain some things are too strange
We need our seed
To grow against the grain, hey
Empires will crumble and fade away,
Or we’ll all
Have to change
Either way Jah
(Verse 2)
The challenges of today are the problems of tomorrow
I am the pain that insists when the people feel no sorrow
F**k the punch lines, I skip in the cut and get the juice myself;
I’m writing what’s necessary not exactly what you felt.
Yo I’m blacker than the stealth.
Am I way over your Head?
I guess I’m flyer in the darkness, you ain’t catching what I said,
Like you, hearing impaired I rhyme in dialectics,
Some brothers they ain’t feeling my style like anesthetics.
Yo I’m sharp up in the cut I dull down the blade why?
So like liquor stores in the ghetto I’m easy to come by,
But the message never weaken like the cell phone when you speaking,
In the tunnel funnel issues through grooves to my peeps and
I savour the moment cause the present is delicious
The penalty that is paid is a cycle that is so vicious
We salute the people dying in fields showing their bravery
And neglect that fact that all democracies are built on slavery.
(Bridge)
People working every day… eh eh Who you a work for?
What you work toward?
People buying things away… eh eh Who you buy from, What are the outcomes?
People always run away… Dem a fi run, Dem a fi run, Why dem a run away?
When will my brethren fight and stay?
When will the people say?
