| Yah, I grew from Babylon soil, born to consume and destroy
|
| I know that cash is king, I breathe cocaine, bleed oil
|
| Made to rise above all, success' my ultimate goal
|
| I’m a do what it takes and bring you down if a fall
|
| Handle my business with war, attack the poor while praising the lord
|
| Raised to be raw, but act polite for the show
|
| Let the cameras roll, I got no doubts or regrets
|
| Live off thousands of deaths, keep no promises, only threats
|
| You politicians preaching your vision of the truth
|
| Never cared about us and our point of view
|
| 'Cause your campaigns only promote the killing fields
|
| Children cry but you don’t hear, people die but you can’t see 'cause
|
| War is big biz, the big guys get rich
|
| Livin' off the poor and gain money on sick kids
|
| It’s a show for those who can afford the price
|
| But turn that shit off, I won’t let you gamble with my life
|
| We don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows
|
| (Cold wind blowing)
|
| We don’t need your politicians to know which way to go
|
| (We don’t need y’all)
|
| We don’t need your teachers, leave the kids alone
|
| (Ey, leave 'em alone)
|
| And we don’t need the poisonous fruits of Babylon
|
| (Your kingdom calling)
|
| Babylon, always recruiting and plotting
|
| Babylon, but yo, my crew been watching
|
| Babylon, and if your roots forgotten
|
| Babylon, then your fruits will rotten
|
| Ya, I drink away the pain, on top of the food chain
|
| The fast life, fast lane, you people is loose change
|
| Piss champagne, not really hungry but I’m eating
|
| Grow fat for no reason and though it’s hot, my hearts freezing
|
| Ey yo, look into the mirror, do you see what I see?
|
| I’m a reflection of your actions and will always be
|
| The result of your plans, the breed of your scams
|
| And I’ll forever be a prisoner of your land
|
| Hey, I’m the good guy, modern man, enlightened, I understand
|
| You don’t seem to get it, why should I care about a foreign land?
|
| You with me or against me, fight for the love of money
|
| Join me in this good life, sell your soul for blood money
|
| We don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows
|
| (Can't stop the tidal wave)
|
| We don’t need your politicians to know which way to go
|
| (Yah, you mislead us)
|
| We don’t need your teachers, leave the kids alone
|
| (Full time, we wanna learn)
|
| And we don’t need the poisonous fruits of Babylon
|
| (Check it, Promoe)
|
| I don’t vote, I cut a politician’s throat
|
| Hang him with the same rope as I do the pope ('cause)
|
| I see the hope in the eyes of our children
|
| I won’t go for your bribes of your millions
|
| 'Cause I see no future in the lies and the killings
|
| We all saw what happened to financial buildings
|
| It’s all for a reason, whether right or wrong
|
| Somebody felt their people had been dying to long
|
| Revenge, retaliation and stupid pride
|
| On both sides, so we keep losing lives
|
| Worldwide, I sing this one for our mothers
|
| Take a sec to recollect just how much they love us
|
| We don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows
|
| (I know I said it before)
|
| We don’t need your politicians to know which way to go
|
| (And I’ma say it again)
|
| We don’t need your teachers, leave the kids alone
|
| (Leave the kids alone)
|
| And we don’t need the poisonous fruits of Babylon
|
| (Come on, yo)
|
| Babylon, recruiting and plotting
|
| Babylon, but yo, my Troop been watching
|
| Babylon, and if your roots are forgotten
|
| Babylon, then your fruits will rotten
|
| Babylon, recruiting and plotting
|
| Babylon, but my crew been watching
|
| Babylon, if your roots are forgotten
|
| Babylon, then your fruits will rotten |
