Hey Babylon, let us do something you know

Oooh yeah it's all about that feeling grown down deh ya
Like a flower in the concrete only sky a de limit now
So I need spiritual food real tings real vision

Try spread the right direction for elevation
Zion is my mother land, freedom my destiny
Naâman a Lion me nah like captivity
Me bun up dem wicked extremist strategies
Politic of fear is the human tragedy
Never let dem put dem hand pon your island
Everyone need a place to defend
Liberate yourself from vanity, that's my priority.

I'm going home right now

Freedom's calling for a change we a calling man a deep rock hard and your system falling
We can't trust no longer your mouth, time has come for freedom

I miss my home I wanna come back straight to me land
All I wanna do is to live by my own, so long
Overstand the foundation of my creation thing so broad
Truth a me weapon me come fi spread out me vision from France to Japan, oh yeah
I got pain when a see the growing hate in my land religious fanatic violent dem
Emancipate yes liberate yourself from this slavery

My only vision is love and love must shine like stars above me nah like
Weapon in my home, bad speech in my home, we fight for toleration

I'm going home right now

Freedom's calling for a change we a calling man a deep rock hard and your system falling
We can't trust no longer your mouth time has come for freedom

Hey bredda, we can't stay bredda, we want more
None a dem a com fi counter the war
Ouh yeah me no need no gun, knowledge a the solution
See them war, it a come them war, it a come
That's reality man nothing is wrong
Freedom a wanted, freedom I sang Freedom for the people
Another lie is one too many. Educated the youth violence nah bravery
Another crime is one too many
But police and judge them a never never busy
Them a Fight for the crown, burn Babylon. Look at to the sky cause judgment a come
Naâman me a real don't test the lion Don't pressure me no no no

I'm going home right now





Freedom's calling for a change we a calling man a deep rock hard and your system falling
We can't trust no longer your mouth all we want is freedom
