Babylon
Grizzly - J Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Man it feels like everything just stopped
And the world came together nothing fell apart
When the winds blowing, suddenly it stops
Man it feels just like God has taken part
When I look at the trees, all the powers that be
Suddenly all the trees, winds just silences it seems
All feel is my heart
Gotta go by the beat
Gotta get to my feet
Gotta follow my feet
Did a lot Just to be where Im at
Babylon
Gotta go till I'm sitting at the top
Babylon
Hurt a lot, fought a lot, bled a lot
Babylon
Gotta go till I'm sitting at the top
Babylon
Will I find myself or will I find God
I don't know where to look anymore
Cuz my time is up
I been too focused on
Tryna get a Rollie on
Tryna get the Gucci cuffs
Tryna get my money up
Gotta keep going Tough
If I fall, scrape the Scuff
Fight the heat
Be the diamond in the Rough
And I always play to win
Play my hand, play my cards
Never fold, Never Bluff
Fuck the odds I'm enough
But as time goes
And the lights fade
As we move on
And the times change
Will I feel love
Or will I feel hate
When I'm thinking bout the past
Were they mistakes?
Did a lot Just to be where I am at
Babylon
Gotta go till I'm sitting at the top
Babylon
Hurt a lot, fought a lot, bled a lot
Babylon
Gotta go till I'm sitting at the top
Babylon
My sadness is a natural state of mind
So I go Outside just to watch Gods design
Watch the Suns shine melting through my eyes
What I realize and what I come to find
We are all so Devine
So I'm on the fence, almost everyday
Lost about my faith in every single kinda way
What am I supposed to think when my souls begins to sink
On the presuppose the brink
Is my souls my weakest link?
And I'm sitting in bed
And I'm Talking to God
And I'm thinking if God is really a God
Or if I our narcissism created a fraud
But I look at the stars and know he's involved
Did a lot Just to be where I am at
Babylon
Gotta go till I'm sitting at the top
Babylon
Hurt a lot, fought a lot, bled a lot
Babylon




Gotta go till I'm sitting at the top
Babylon

Or if it is our own self-centeredness that has fabricated an illusion


But I look at the stars and know he's involved
Yet, as I gaze upon the stars, I feel reassured that God is indeed present and engaged
