Babylon |
Look what they doing, despicable, inhuman |
And got the nerve to say that I’m 3/5ths of a human |
Babylon is in ruins, inhabited by a beast |
A bloodsucker, vampire to say the least |
Look at the way that they’re gnashing their teeth as they feast |
Fighting to get a piece, something like Ancient Greece |
Permanent Halloween, Trick or Treat |
We’re walking like zombies out in these streets |
Shackled our hands and feet, what you see, what you see? |
Down there in Babylon |
Where transgression increaseth |
There they know no love |
Hopeless are the days |
Hold I stead 'Fari (Jah!) |
From their wicked life |
Smiles upon their faces |
Evil in their hearts |
Oh my, oh |
Oh a oh, oh I. |
Babylon, Babylon |
Babylon, Babylon |
Babylon, I know me know your kingdom a go fall down |
Jah will never give you the crown |
Babylon, I know me know your kingdom a go fall down |
Long you try fi hold Rasta down (that's right) |
Babylon, I know me know your kingdom a go fall down (yeah) |
Rasta nuh 'fraid of no clown |
Babylon is a Devil inna blue dress, Satan in a suit and tie |
Oppression is freedom, Heaven is Hell and the truth is a lie |
They murder the youth, the police don’t shoot in the sky |
It’s a warzone, you do what you gotta do to survive |
You get suited and ride, life is hustle or starve |
This is capitalism religion, money is god |
America eats the young like cannibal breakfast |
Wall Street is swarming with Hannibal Lecters |
Crooked elections, politricks of the shitstem |
Legal lynchings, modern day crucifixions |
Slaves to the current conditions that we live in |
More faith in the reverends than making our own heaven |
It’s foul, how the youth glued to the television |
Ain’t heard of Assata, but Twitter following Paris Hilton |
It’s only right we want to be more than poor and righteous but |
Even the rich today can’t ignore the crisis in Babylon. |
Oh my, oh |
Oh a oh, oh I. |
Babylon no waan fi see the youths dem wield together |
All they want we do, dem waan we fight we one anedda |
Dem no waan fi see |
Survival, we to any weather |
Stephen Marley, Junior Reid, Deed Prez |
Stephen Marley, Junior Reid, Deed Prez |
And so, from that tiem to this time |
The fall of Babylon has been prophesied |
And just like heaven and earth will share |
Before one of these words pass away |
As we speak today, Babylon persists, to fall. |
