babylon
Prince Ital Joe feat. Marky Mark Lyrics

Living in Babylon
We are currently residing within a society that is plagued by chaos and corruption

Run Babylon, Babylon, a free run
Evading the oppressive grasp of Babylon and its enforcers has now become a personal mission

Run Babylon, been afraid that you're gone
I am fearful of the possibility of Babylon abandoning its oppressive ways, bringing forth greater chaos and destruction

Jah, Jah, have the strength, Jah is my helper him I'll go crush don't give wicked
With the aid of Jah's strength, I shall persevere and triumph over the ungodly wickedness plaguing Babylon

The element have destroyed the population
The corrupt elements within Babylon have brought forth ruin upon the people, causing untold levels of despair and distress

One nation with the foundation
Only with a united front can we overcome the oppressive forces at play within Babylon

Unification for the population
Bringing together all the inhabitants within Babylon will create a formidable force from which to challenge the corrupted authority

I can't stand it any longer
The current state of affairs has become too much to bear, and I can no longer stand idly by

Violent children full of hunger
The youth of Babylon are plagued by hunger and violence, and it is a major cause for concern

Yo, beat the dis-mode I'm about to explode
I am preparing to unleash a torrent of truth and fury that will shake Babylon to its very core

My nine's full of rhymes and the need to unload
My weapon - my words - is charged and primed for use

Sixteen to blast and then reload quickly
I have sixteen bars to deliver my message before I must reload and continue to fight the good fight

You can't buy bull#@! nor can you dis me
Don't even try to undermine me or rebut my message, for it holds irrefutable truth

We kids try to buck the bourgeois
We, the youth, strive to resist the oppressive bourgeoisie

We're at chance the Boston Irish boy
Even as a Boston Irish boy, I am not insulated from the wrath of Babylon

Check who done it
Investigate and identify those responsible for the atrocities committed within Babylon

The drop of leprechauns, they had a few brews
Those who perpetrate violence and corruption within Babylon do so while under the influence of alcohol

Sought it like the Babylon
They are like the corrupt and oppressive forces within Babylon

Run Babylon, I run the bumrush
I am taking the fight to Babylon and will not back down until victory is achieved

Booze blues round my way ain't say shut
The rampant alcoholism within Babylon is a major cause for concern

Keep my name outta your mouth
Don't badmouth or besmirch my name, for it is not warranted

Yo, that's the wrong route don't doubt what I'm about cause mercy won't assist in the vocab
Do not doubt my intentions or abilities, for I do not relent in my pursuit of justice

Hollywood kids we have to try and act bad
Acting tough and rebellious is a necessary posture for us youth to adopt if we are to challenge Babylon successfully

Revoke the verse, sure his ain't from Boston
Retract your statements, for they are most certainly not based in truth

Stick to topic, try to front, catch you coughin'
Stay on topic and do not try to deceive, for I will catch you in your lies and hold you accountable

And it won't stop (Chorus)
The fight against Babylon will not cease until victory is achieved.
