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. |
