Babylon (feat. Junior Reid & Dead Prez)

Babylon

Babylon

Look what they doin', despicable, inhuman

And got the nerve to say that I'm three fifths 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 gnashin' they teeth as they feast

Fightin' to get a piece, somethin' like ancient Greece

Permanent Halloween, trick or treat

We walkin' like zombies out in these streets

Shackled our hands and feet, what you see, what you see?

Down there in Babylon

Where transgression increases

There they know no love

Hopeless are the days

Hold I stead for I (Jah)

From their wicked life

Smiles upon their faces

Evil in their hearts

Oh, my, oh

Oh, my, oh, my

Oh my, oh

Oh, my, oh, my

Oh my, oh

Oh, my, oh, my

Oh, my

Babylon, Babylon

Babylon, Babylon

Babylon, I know me know

Your kingdom are gon' fall down

Jah will never give you the crown

Babylon, I know me know

Your kingdom are gon' fall down

Long you try fi hold Rasta down (That's right)

Babylon, I know me know

Your kingdom are gon' fall down (Yeah)

Rasta no 'fraid of no

Babylon is a devil in a 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 swarmin' with Hannibal Lecters

Crooked elections, politricks of the shitstem

Legal lynchin's, modern day crucifixions

Slaves to the current conditions that we live in

More faith in the reverends than makin' our own heaven

It's foul how the youth glued to the television

They hurtin' for Sodom, with Twitter followin' Paris Hilton

It's only right we wanna be more than poor and righteous

But even the rich today can't ignore the crisis in Babylon

Oh, my, oh

Oh, my, oh, my

Oh, my, oh

Oh, my, oh, my

Oh, my, oh

Oh, my, oh, my

Oh, my, oh

Stand your heart

My heart

Babylon no want fi see the youths and them together

All they want we do, them want we fight to one another

Them no want me see to get the youths, I want them later

Survival, we leap to any weather
