The lyrics of "Babylon" by Ellis Moss express frustration and condemnation towards Babylon, a term often used to refer to oppressive systems and authorities. The repetition of the phrase "Babylon come, I say Babylon come" emphasizes the urgency of the situation and the need for change. The line "I say ya Babylon come, I say ya must be mad" suggests that Babylon is delusional or blind to their own oppressive actions.
The second part of the song references a specific incident of being kicked out of their yard by Babylon, which could be interpreted as either a metaphorical or literal experience. The use of Jamaican patois in lines like "yuh nuh unfair me atol" adds authenticity to the lyrics and reflects the cultural context and identity of the artist. The phrase "Blanka, dis ya sweet to di ground" could be interpreted as a sarcastic commentary on how Babylon takes pleasure in causing pain to others.
Overall, "Babylon" is a powerful song that speaks to the frustration and anger many people feel towards oppressive systems and the need for change.
