Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I know that I deserve it
The life that I chose
Proved that I was asking for it
I'm coming out soon
Coming back into His promise
And trust this time that milk and honey
Ain't gon' pass before me
Ain't got time for no Ashtoreth
The news in the air will be
The enemies have fallen
I feel like hosanna (Hosanna)
With the Seraphim we screaming hosanna (Hosanna)
This is just a Babylon phase
And I know that I deserve it
The life that I chose
Proved that I was asking for it
I'm coming out soon
Coming back into His promise
And trust this time that milk and honey
Ain't gon' pass before me
I'd be swimming in His word
Ain't got time for no Ashtoreth
The news in the air will be
The enemies have fallen
I feel like hosanna (Hosanna)
With the Seraphim we screaming hosanna (Hosanna)
Make we levitate
Yeah
Babylon, Babylon, Babylon fall
Get thee behind me (Yeah)
Those walls around me (Yeah)
They cannot stop me no more
Babylon, Babylon, Babylon fall
The Lord has spoken (Yeah)
Those walls around me (Yeah)
I'm walking through them
I know that you're aiming for me
I can see those lasers
Best know that He's aware
He's gon' send a Cherub on ya
I sold my soul to The Light
I'm shinning for Him
Let the devil know
He ain't seeing me no more
Cos I'd be chilling in the air, with The Light
I'm finally for Him
The news in the air will be the enemies have fallen
I feel like hosanna (Hosanna)
With the seraphim we're screaming hosanna
Make we levitate (Yeah)
Babylon, Babylon, Babylon fall
Get thee behind me (Yeah)
Those walls around me (Yeah)
They cannot stop me no more
Babylon, Babylon, Babylon fall
The Lord has spoken (Yeah)
Those walls around me (Yeah)
I'm walking through them
I will rise
None can stop me (No)
We have won
We have conquered all
Mount Zion, here we come (Ouh)
Mount Zion, here we come (Ouh, ouh)
I will rise
None can stop me (No)
We have won
We have conquered all
Mount Zion, here we come (Ouh)
Mount Zion, here we come (Ouh, ouh)
E'yele, E'yele
Ompese ye be ko
Ompese ye be ko
Ompese ye be ko heaven/Oh wo'baaya
E'yele, E'yele
Ompese ye be ko
Ompese ye be ko
Ompese ye be ko heaven/Oh wo'baaya
E'yele, E'yele

In "Babylon," Mr. Monti speaks about his struggle with living in sin while trying to find his way back to God. He acknowledges that he's going through a phase where he's been living a life that's not in line with his beliefs and deserves the consequences that come with it. However, he's determined to return to God's promise and trust that he will experience His blessings soon. The confident and defiant tone in his voice is evident when he says that he's not going to waste any more time chasing after the false idols of Ashtoreth. Instead, he's going to focus on swimming in God's Word and let go of his past mistakes.
Towards the end of the song, Mr. Monti makes references to the enemies falling and how he feels like he's ascending into the spirit world with the seraphim, shouting “hosanna”. In the last verse, he declares that he will rise and that no one can stop him. He has won and conquered all and that Mount Zion is where he's headed for.
The song "Babylon" is an insightful piece that encourages people to look inwardly and acknowledge their mistakes without blaming others. It shows that no matter how far we stray away from God, we can always return to His love and grace.
