Born Again by Ricky L
I was born in a system
That doesn't give a fuck about you nor me nor the lies
Don't be a victim of things I do to survive
Because I always knew
Any good you Babilonians are

Ik was geboren in een system
Dat geen reet geeft om jou of mij of de leugens
Wees geen slachtoffer van de dingen die ik doen om te overleven
Omdat ik altijd geweten heb




Dat jullie, Babilioniërs, niet goed zijn
(herhaal)
