Babylon
Ras Demo Lyrics

You lyah, a weh do you?
Hey, what are you doing?

How you a move so?
Why are you behaving like this?

You think me nuh know weh you a plan? Think we fool?
Do you think I don't know what you're plotting? Do you think I'm foolish?

More time nuff a we play fool fi ketch wise enuh
Most of the time, many of us pretend to be naive to figure things out

But me still haffe ask you one question
But I still have to ask you one question

Babbi Babbi Babylon
Oh, deceptive Babylon

How you move so wrong
Why are you acting in such a wrong way?

Tell me now
Please tell me

Tell me what's your plan, me no over stand
Tell me what your intentions are, I don't understand

From before we born you a deceive we
You've been deceiving us since before we were born

You par with the rich and diss the poor and needed
You socialize with the wealthy and neglect the poor and needy

You try to hide, your stingy ways we done know your greedy
You attempt to hide your selfish nature, but we already know you're greedy

You have a whole cake and bear crumbs you a feed we
You have an abundance but only give us meager portions

And you a treat we like a pickney we sick and we
And you treat us like sick and tired children

Tired, long time we done see through your trickery
We're tired, we've long seen through your deceit

Your mussi feel say we a fool
You must think we're fools

We go to school and bun your history
We receive education and reject your false narratives

But still the way your move to me is a mistery
Still, your actions remain a mystery to me

Me hear say your actions will never change
I've heard that your actions will never change

Me see it fi myself how you move funny and strange
I've witnessed for myself how you behave in a bizarre and peculiar manner

Just because my ancestors dem bruck out a chains
Just because my ancestors broke free from chains

You hide it but mentally you a lock down we brains
You may conceal it, but mentally you're oppressing us

I wasn't there when you did leave whole heap a blood stain
I wasn't there when you left behind a lot of bloodshed

I wasn't there the people dem a build up tracks fi your trains
I wasn't there when people were building tracks for your trains

You did have me bredda dem a work hard and treat my
You had my brothers working hard and mistreated my

Sisters like dogs and still you walk around with no shame
Sisters like animals, yet you display no remorse

You can't hide it cause they facts still remains that you advance but
You can't conceal it because the facts still remain that you progress, but

Your dutty ways are still the same and the seed plant and the mucky
Your dirty ways remain unchanged and the corrupt

Blood in a your veins (veins) and
Blood runs through your veins

Still my people dem a feel the pain (pain)
Yet my people still feel the pain

Well me a look out fi my family
Well, I'm looking out for my family

I've had enough, long time me a tell you this but you not hearing me
I've had enough, I've been telling you this for a long time, but you're not listening

Well me a pronounce me word dem loud and clearly
Well, I'm expressing my words loudly and clearly

Anytime Babbi-wrong dem deh near we
Whenever the deceptive Babylon is near us

Sitt'n lick a yuh head me want know
Sit and think, I want to know

Whapp'n to you (Babbi Babbi Babylon)
What has happened to you, deceptive Babylon?

I wanna know I wanna know
I want to know, I want to know

Weh you a plan weh you a do (Babbi Babbi Babylon)
What are you planning to do, deceptive Babylon?

Different day same you nuh change
Different day, same unchanged you

That's why me want know weh you up to (Babbi Babbi Babylon)
That's why I want to know what you're up to, deceptive Babylon

I wanna know, tell me (Babbi Babbi Babylon)
I want to know, tell me, deceptive Babylon

Babbi Babbi Babylon

Babbi Babbi Babbi-wrong
Deceptive, deceptive, deceptive Babylon
