Lyrics

Babylon Babylon Look what they doing, 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 blood sucker, vampire to say the least Look at the way they gnashing their teeth as they feast Fighting to get a piece, something like ancient Greece Permanent Halloween, trick or treat We walking 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 ain't no new love Hopeless are the days Whole life's dead far right From their wicked life Smiles upon their faces Evil in their hearts Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Babylon Babylon Babylon Babylon Babylon, I know below your kingdom will fall down I will never give you the crown Babylon, I know below your kingdom will fall down I'm gonna try if it would, Rasta, down Babylon, I know below your kingdom will fall down Yeah Rasta no afraid, no afraid 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 war zone, you do what you gotta do to survive You can shoot it or ride, life is hustle and stall This is capitalism, religion, money is God America eats the young like cannibal breakfast Wall Street is swarming with Hannibal Lecters Crooked elections, politricks are the shystem 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 They heard of Assata, but Twitter following parents looting It's only right we wanna be more than poor and righteous But even the rich today can't ignore the crisis in Babylon Babylon Babylon Babylon Babylon Babylon Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Babylon Babylon Babylon Babylon Babylon, I know below your kingdom will fall down I will never give you the crown Babylon, I know below your kingdom will fall down I'm gonna try if it would, Rasta, down Babylon, I know below your kingdom will fall down Yeah Rasta no afraid, no afraid 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 war zone, you do what you gotta do to survive You can shoot it and ride, life is hustle and stall This is capitalism, religion, money is God America eats the young like cannibal breakfast Wall Street is swarming with Hannibal Lecters Crooked elections, politricks are the shystem 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 They heard of Assata, but Twitter following parents looting It's only right we wanna be more than poor and righteous But even the rich today can't ignore the crisis in Babylon Babylon Babylon Babylon Babylon Babylon Babylon Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Babylon Babylon Babylon Babylon Babylon, I know below your kingdom will fall down I will never give you the crown Babylon, I know below your kingdom will fall down I'm gonna try if it would, Rasta, down Babylon, I know below your kingdom will fall down Yeah Rasta no afraid, no afraid And so, we've come to this time of all of Babylon has been prophesied Just like the roof below it will shatter before these words pass away As we speak today, Babylon persists to fall
