Testo Babylon - Stephen Marley feat. Junior Reid & Dead Prez
Testo della canzone Babylon (Stephen Marley feat. Junior Reid & Dead Prez), tratta dall'album Revelation Pt. II: The Fruit of Life
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
