Babylon

All of us about to get bun, it can be a knife or big gun
Some can see the sun going down, some can’t see the morning one
Death been taking many men down, coming fi dem one by one
Me keep telling dem yout to run, dem must run, run from Babylon

Dem dunno but me ghetto yout
Long way walk I come from the hood
Mind your talk when it comes to food
Mana been broke, but never been rude
Dem don’t want to wear dem suit
Dem don’t want to talk to da lord
Dem been tired ah lies dem are told
Dem got lessons dem never taught

Light can’t be seen in the dark
So I keep wearing all black
Night it’s the time to awake
Mind helps us to escape
You don’t have to obey
Guns don’t have to be sprayed
Heads don’t have to be aimed
Streets don’t have to be blamed

Billions think that dem are all free
I reckon dem mandem been feared
I’m one ah dem so I can feel
We wanna live in peace we don’t wanna kill
People think dem dreams are too real
Dem feel nightmares under dem skin
No one hears if dem gyaldem scream
Dem wanna feel love, wanna no fear

All of us about to get bun, it can be a knife or big gun
Some can see the sun going down, some can’t see the morning one
Death been taking many men down, coming fi dem one by one
Me keep telling dem yout to run, dem must run, run from Babylon

Run from Babylon

Who? Who are dem friends?
Who? Who’s running the ends?
Who? Who’s making dem threats?
Who is speaking behind your back?
Who? Who’s snitching on you?
Who? Who’s in charge in the zoo?
Who? Who’s giving dem food?
Who is painting your life blue?

Show your malice in front ah police
Never oppress your inner beast
Stop taking pils enjoy your madness
Don’t be afraid to succumb to darkness

Get off your knees put on the wings
Cast off the chains cut off the strings
Babylon feels, Babylon sees
Dread ain’t coursing through our veins

All of us about to get bun, it can be a knife or big gun
Some can see the sun going down, some can’t see the morning one
Death been taking many men down, coming fi dem one by one
Me keep telling dem yout to run, dem must run, run from Babylon
