Babylon
O.B.F feat TROY BERKLEY Lyrics

An untamed mass enter through the gate
A group of people who are uncontrolled and wild are coming in through the gate.

I cannot, I can't breathe!
The situation is suffocating and difficult to bear.

Yeah, Babylon, breathe Babylon
Referencing the city of Babylon, the artist is calling for the city to be alive and present.

I see you people babble on and on and on
The artist is frustrated by people's meaningless chatter.

Graven images, golden idols and false icons
The artist is criticizing the worship of material goods.

I'm seeking wisdom like Solomon

But my antenna keeps on pickin' up evil transmissions
The artist feels like they are constantly surrounded by negative energy.

At headquarters I receive my mission blow up the ruler of the air
The artist sees themselves as part of a divine mission to defeat evil forces.

Like nuclear fission
This is a metaphor for the power that the artist has in this situation.

So I analyze my weapons
The artist is taking the time to figure out the best way to approach the situation.

Laser-guided rifles that shoot spiritual wisdom
The artist is equating their spiritual knowledge with a weapon to fight against negativity.

I think I see enemy warriors

Huh, fragile heathens tryin' to run stuff like mayors

So with brotha's that snuff punks

I set up time bombs to destroy the strongholds of babylon

We be tribes under grace, a righteous minority

Decadent culture make you forget your spiritual priority

Back down by the movement, soldiers who will serve ya

Open to be used by god, destroy you like Medo-Persia

Jewel of all kingdoms, like evil, purified horror
The artist is painting a picture of the opposition, who may seem beautiful, but are actually horrific.

Take you down, don't look back, overthrow you like sodoom and Gomorrah
The artist has no mercy in their fight against negativity and are willing to go to extreme lengths to win.

Strong arm of the law, guilty of all crime
The artist is calling out the corrupt power structures present.

I be like the great prophet Isalah, predict your fall a hundred and fifty times
The artist sees themself as being prophetic in their identification of the opposing forces' downfall.

Got rhymes that you could never use for the purpose you be using
The artist is using their rap to greater effect than just entertainment, to fight against negativity.

I'll dance over your fields, present-day Iraq still lies in ruins
The artist is celebrating their victory over the opposition, but also noting the physical destruction that has occurred as a result.

Filled with lies, schemes, backstabbed persuasions
The artist is highlighting the deceitful nature of their opposition.

Bum-rushed, get crushed by us, this rescue invasion
The artist is asserting their power in this situation and are coming to rescue those who are oppressed.

Look to the sky, heed the warning
The artist is calling out for help from a higher power.

The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming
There is a sense of foreboding and danger present in the situation.

The plagues are coming, the plagues are coming
This is a metaphor for the negative consequences that will befall the opposition.

I feel the breath of the death beast
The artist senses the presence of something sinister.

Mised their bureaucracy, full of hypocrisy
The artist is calling out the corrupt power structures present.

I got a steel pulse, looking for a true democracy destruction
The artist is fully committed to tearing down the oppressive forces in their fight for a better world.

Now your walls have fallen

Just sitting here waiting for the train to zion
The artist is ready to move forward and rebuild a better society.

Sit down in the dust, Babylon
The artist is calling for the city of Babylon to sit down and be humbled.

Without a throne to call your own
The artist is calling out the corrupt power structures present, who have lost their power.

It's 47:1, city has fallen, god

She has fallen golden images of its gods lie shattered on the ground
