babylon
O.B.F. featuring Troy Berkley Lyrics

An untamed mass enter through the gate
A chaotic crowd is entering through the entrance

I cannot, I can't breathe!
The singer is overwhelmed and unable to cope

Yeah, Babylon, breathe Babylon
Addressing Babylon city

Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Repeatedly addressing Babylon city

I see you people babble on and on and on
The artist notices the constant chatter of those around them

Graven images, golden idols and false icons
Referring to idol worship in the city

I'm seeking wisdom like Solomon
The singer seeks wisdom like that of King Solomon

But my antenna keeps on pickin' up evil transmissions
The artist continues to be exposed to negative influences

At headquarters I receive my mission blow up the ruler of the air
The artist receives a mission to eliminate negative influences

Like nuclear fission
Describing the power and impact the mission will have

So I analyze my weapons
The singer prepares for their mission

Laser-guided rifles that shoot spiritual wisdom
Referring to spiritual weapons being used against negative influences

I think I see enemy warriors
The singer notices adversaries

Huh, fragile heathens tryin' to run stuff like mayors
Describing the adversaries as weak leaders

So with brotha's that snuff punks
Collaborating with people who take out adversaries

I set up time bombs to destroy the strongholds of babylon
The artist uses metaphor to describe their plan to eliminate negative influences

We be tribes under grace, a righteous minority
The artist belongs to a minority of righteous people

Decadent culture make you forget your spiritual priority
The culture of Babylon neglects spirituality

Back down by the movement, soldiers who will serve ya
The singer has support from fellow soldiers in their mission

Open to be used by god, destroy you like Medo-Persia
The artist is willing to be a vessel of God's will to eliminate negative influences

Jewel of all kingdoms, like evil, purified horror
Describing Babylon city as attractive but full of negative influences

Take you down, don't look back, overthrow you like sodoom and Gomorrah
Referencing the destruction of wicked cities in the Bible

Strong arm of the law, guilty of all crime
Referring to those in positions of power who are corrupt

I be like the great prophet Isalah, predict your fall a hundred and fifty times
The artist predicts the fall of those in power like the prophet Isaiah did in the Bible

Got rhymes that you could never use for the purpose you be using
The singer has powerful words that are wasted by those in power

I'll dance over your fields, present-day Iraq still lies in ruins
The singer celebrates the downfall of their adversaries

Filled with lies, schemes, backstabbed persuasions
Describing the corrupt nature of Babylon city

Bum-rushed, get crushed by us, this rescue invasion
The artist and their supporters will eliminate the corrupt influences in the city

Look to the sky, heed the warning
Encouraging people to pay attention to the signs of impending doom

The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming
Describing the darkness that will follow the downfall of Babylon city

The plagues are coming, the plagues are coming
Referring to divine punishment for those who support negative influences

I feel the breath of the death beast
The artist senses the presence of death and destruction

Misled by their bureaucracy, full of hypocrisy
The corrupt leaders in power are misleading the people

I got a steel pulse, looking for a true democracy destruction
The artist is determined to eliminate the corrupt system in place

Now your walls have fallen
Describing the downfall of Babylon city

Just sitting here waiting for the train to zion
Referring to the hope of a better future after the end of Babylon city

Sit down in the dust, Babylon
Addressing Babylon city

Without a throne to call your own
Describing the lack of power and control for those in authority

It's 47:1, city has fallen, god
Referencing the biblical book of Jeremiah and the city's destruction

She has fallen golden images of its gods lie shattered on the ground
Describing the downfall of Babylon city and its false idols
