Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Come we go burn down Babylon one more time

(Come we go burn down Babylon one more time)

Come we go chant down Babylon one more time

(Come we go chant down Babylon)

[Verse 2]

Are them soft? Yes, them soft

(Aye oye)

Them soft, yes them soft

(Aye oye)

So come we got chant down Babylon one more time

(Come we go chant down Babylon)

[Verse 3]

Man see their dreams and aspiration

And it crumble in front of their face

And all of their wicked intention

To destroy the human race

[Verse 4]

How don't you know

And how I know

And that's how I know

A reggae music

Man we chant down Babylon, the music

Man we chant down Babylon, this music

Man we chant down Babylon, this music

Come we chant down Babylon

[Verse 5]

Come we go chant down Babylon one more time

(Come we go burn down Babylon one more time)

Come we go chant down Babylon one more time

(Come we go chant down Babylon)

[Verse 6]

Are them soft? Yes, them soft

(Aye oye)

Them soft

They said them soft

(Aye oye)

So come we got chant down Babylon one more time

(Come we go chant down Babylon)

[Verse 7]

They say, music you're, music you're the key

Talk to who?

Please talk to me

Bring the voice of, of the Rastaman

Communicating to, cating to everyone

[Verse 8]

How I (Know)

How I know

How I (Know)

How I know

And that's how I know

A reggae music

[Verse 9]

Chant down, chant down, chant down Babylon

Chant down Babylon

Chant down Babylon

Chant down Babylon

Reggae music, chant down Babylon

Reggae music, chant down Babylon

Reggae music, chant down Babylon

Reggae music, (Chant down Babylon)
