Lyrics

Ooh yeah ooh yeah Na na na na na na Ooh yeah ooh yeah Na na na na na na One step forward, two steps backward Down inna Babylon One step forward, two steps backward Down inna Babylon One day you are dreadlocks (well dread) Next day you are ballin (cliche') Onward, forward, don't step backward Step out of Babylon Onward, forward, don't step backward Step out of Babylon Are you a commercialized Grabbing at the cash-backs? This is a time of decision Tell me, what is your plan? yeah Onward, forward, don't step backward Step out of Babylon Onward, forward, don't step backward Step out of Babylon Straight is the road that leads to destruction Ooh yeah The road to righteousness is narrow Ah let me tell you say Indictive feelings enter feeling The truth is a fact, tell me Are you a con man, or are you a dreadlocks, eh? One step forward, two steps backward Down inna Babylon Onward, forward, don't step backward Step out of Babylon Ooh yeah ooh yeah Na na na na na na Ooh yeah ooh yeah Na na na na na na The road is rough and the hill is steep Ah let me tell you say The mountain is high and the valley is deep Oh yeah oh yeah Onward, forward, don't step backward Step out of Babylon Onward, forward, don't step backward Step out of Babylon One step forward, two steps backward Down inna Babylon One step forward, two steps backward Down inna Babylon Ooh yeah ooh yeah Ah let me tell you say Ah let me tell you say Ooh yeah ooh yeah Ah let me tell you say One step forward, two steps backward Down in a Babylon One step forward, two steps backward Down in a Babylon Straight is the road that leads to destruction Ah hear me when I say The road to righteousness is narrow Ooh yeah ooh yeah Indictive feelings enter feeling The truth is a fact, tell me Are you a con man, or are you a dreadlocks, oh? Onward, forward, don't step backward Step out of Babylon Onward, forward, don't step backward Step out of Babylon One step forward, two steps backward (go deh) Down in a Babylon One step forward, two steps backward (go deh) Down in a Babylon Onward, forward, don't step backward Step out of Babylon Ooh yeah ooh yeah ooh yeah Na na na na na na Ooh yeah ooh yeah ooh yeah Na na na na na na
