Babylon lyrics with English Translations
Junior Reid:
Babylon..
Babylon
Look what they doing, despicable, inhuman And got the nerve to say that I'm 3/5ths 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 gnashing their teeth as they feast Fighting to get a piece, something like Ancient Greece Permanent Halloween, Trick or Treat We're walking like zombies out in these streets Shackled our hands and feet, what you see, what you see?
Down there in Babylon Where transgression increaseth There they know no love Hopeless are the days Hold I stead 'Fari (Jah!) From their wicked life Smiles upon their faces Evil in their hearts Oh my, oh Oh a oh, oh I..
Babylon, Babylon Babylon, Babylon Babylon, I know me know your kingdom a go fall down Jah will never give you the crown Babylon, I know me know your kingdom a go fall down Long you try fi hold Rasta down (that's right) Babylon, I know me know your kingdom a go fall down (yeah) Rasta nuh 'fraid of no clown
Babylon is a Devil inna 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 swarming with Hannibal Lecters Crooked elections, politricks of the sh*tstem 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 Ain't heard of Assata, but Twitter following Paris Hilton It's only right we want to be more than poor and righteous but Even the rich today can't ignore the crisis in Babylon..
Oh my, oh Oh a oh, oh I..
Babylon no waan fi see the youths dem wield together All they want we do, dem waan we fight we one anedda Dem no waan fi see jQuery351008725441924138799_1633598673052 Survival, we ?? to any weather

And so, from that tiem to this time The fall of Babylon has been prophesied And just like heaven and earth will share Before one of these words pass away As we speak today, Babylon persists, to fall..
