Babylon wall

Have you ever wondered why you really paying tax
Vague use of the money, now it's no surprise attack
Budgeting for the war to come and all the weaponry
Yet unbelievable poverty in your rich country

Babylon wall will have to fall, Babylon wall one day
Babylon wall will have to fall, Babylon wall
Babylon wall will have to fall, Babylon wall one day
Babylon wall will have to fall, Babylon wall

President of your country, a colored will never be
Racial problems, why call it the 'land of free'
Pentagon, CIA and KKK the history
Assassination the answer when your system disagrees

Babylon wall will have to fall, Babylon wall one day
Babylon wall will have to fall, Babylon wall
Babylon wall will have to fall, Babylon wall one day
Babylon wall will have to fall, Babylon wall

How long their wall shall stand up firm
With each block that build it has pain, poverty
Greed, starvation, disease,
Yes, all of that have to go stop
Crumble to the ground
We have to go break down that

Dust under carpet

Human behaviour

Why medication so expensive?
Tough luck, life threatening diseases
Hope I?m not too interrogative
Why if your moneyless that means you can't live?

I'm talking World Health members
Pharmaceutical companies, doctors
Manufacturers of drugs please remember
Humanity the key and not cash numbers

What have we come to?
Let us look into ourselves
We need a rescue
Your conscience can be your hell

Long time you a pressure me, sister
Take it a little easy upon me, brother
Can you ever try to change it, mister
Or is it human behavior?

Take it a little easy upon me, brother

Or is it human behavior?

I no really have a problem with tax
But when it gone too high that?s whack
Property owners can?t relax
Greed is the systems negative attack

Food prices has no limit
Products on shelves are not fixed
They target things that sells quick
Put on a dollar or two that?s bullshit

What have we come to?
Let us look into ourselves
We need a rescue
Your conscience can be your hell

Long time you a pressure me, sister
Take it a little easy upon me, brother
Can you ever try to change it, mister
Or is it human behavior?

Phone company pretenders
Tricky bill instigators
Deliberate miscalculators
Start making phone with counters

Warning to cellular makers
Toxic materializers
Useless batteries, high numbers
Recycling out the picture

What have we come to?
Let us look into ourselves
We need a rescue
Your conscience can be your hell

Long time you a pressure me, sister
Take it a little easy upon me, brother

Issues


Countless times when things were rough and nothing but the heat
Chances of jobs delete
I remember well a point in time, I had nowhere to sleep
My issues and the streets

The other day I had my last $30.00 in my empty pockets
I wanted to buy something to eat to kill the hunger
But then I remembered that my guitar needed two stings
That were broken I prefer to feed my soul

How many mountains do we have to climb?
How many rivers of tears to quench the pain?
How long is the journey, it just seems endless
But I have to hold on

Religion has been a stumbling block, it haunts me everyday
Can I ever clear this way?
I?m man enough to let you know at times
I?m skeptical of that man called Christ even though He gave His life

How can I survive in a church, a refuge for my soul?
When the levity unfold is different from the word being told
How dare you justify your wicked ways with quoting from the scripture?
You?re the better, worse than anyone else

How many mountains do we have to climb?
How many rivers of tears to quench the pain?
How long is the journey, it just seems endless
But I have to hold on

Unfortunately, I?ve been stereotyped on how to treat a woman
I?m a product of a one night stand
If you happen to be my father and you?re listening to this song
You?re damned outright and wrong

My mom was just a sick woman, she lost her mind at twelve
But you chose to satisfy yourself
I lost a woman that I really loved, although I hardly knew
My anger grew and grew

How many mountains do we have to climb?
How many rivers of tears to quench the pain?
How long is the journey, it just seems endless
But I have to hold on

Oh, I have to hold on
Yeah, oh, I have to hold on
Yeah, oh, I have to hold on

Loose we now


How long, how long, how long?
How long, how long, how long?
Talking to the bosses, won?t you listen? Don?t delay
Tax out fe kill wee so we want a raise of pay

As we work the money, so boops it gone away
Cost of living sky high, no time to play
Warning to the police force working everyday
Some cops need some serious counseling anyway

Contagious disease called trigger-happy
Bad ma with unu gun, unu fe tek it easy

Loose we now, loose we now, loose
Loose we now, loose we now, loose
Loose we now, loose we now, loose
Loose we now, loose we now, loose

How long must we suffer you slave masters?
A shackled society
How long must we suffer you slave masters?
A shackled society

Yes, some pointing fingers on you filthy government
You educated thieves of the dollars and cents
Political leaders negative influence
Leggo we country now you non progressive elements

You have some little churches leading people astray
Using name if Christ, hiding hypocrisy
How can you say people come follow we?
When deep down you living so indecently

Loose we now, loose we now, loose
Loose we now, loose we now, loose
Loose we now, loose we now, loose
Loose we now, loose we now, loose

My decision

Girls dem plenty and the whole of them look good
Trust me some no really act as they should
Bad principles from birth to childhood
Old dirty ways gone inna adulthood

Anytime you see a girl, you like investigate it
Hard core no want no girl who bend up and switch
Think me like fe call a girl skettel and bitch
Who no have nu pride they deserve it

I do want a good girl, yes I do
Plan to search the whole world
I do prefer girls than pearls
It?s my decision

I do want a good girl, yes I do
Plan to search the whole world
I do prefer girls than pearls
It?s my decision

Some of them barefaced and want fe give you a jacket
Tell them say it definitely can?t fit
Still insist, you ultimately park it
When she touch the turf, tell her exit

Met few girls with a lot of bad habits
All have in common, search yu pockets
Wake up next morning can?t find yu wallet
Few hours away she?s on a taxi

I do want a good girl, yes I do
Plan to search the whole world
I do prefer girls than pearls
It?s my decision

I do want a good girl, yes I do
Plan to search the whole world
Me prefer girls than pearls
It?s my decision

Every man wants a good
Every man needs a good girl

Listen me yo I woulda walk a mile or two in my shoes just for you
Everything you do, so true, you're so smooth
You's a good girl, got me feeling like a lucky dude
Good girl [Incomprehensible]

And I never said, never would I left you
I be searching the world so every[Incomprehensible]
That I love you my girl
Look inside my empty arms and realize this is where you belong

I do want a good girl, yes I do
Plan to search the whole world
I do prefer girls than pearls
It?s my decision

I do want a good girl, yes I do

Quicksand

Our country?s law is left in slippery hands
So many educated yet no solution
We?re goin' down, down, down, down, down in quicksand

And some headquarters fi corruption

A long time ghetto youth a try hold the faith

Inner cities need the resources for shine

Good over evil, righteous dwell

Ruffest times

Gold spoon inna mouth, me never get none
More time nothing to eat, not even bread crumb
Drink the water from my eye when it a run down
Quench my emotions

Confuse, so me tek up all a big gun
Robbing people for needs that is not fun
Babylon jailhouse, think me life done
Five years detention

Jah will never give you more than you can bear
It?s so obvious and it?s crystal clear now
Jah will never leave I lonely
He?ll take me through the ruffest times

I will trust in the almighty, He will help me to get by
Though the system is all messed up
My meditation is very high, Jah will never leave I lonely
He?ll take me through the ruffest times

Look a work all now me no get none
Me girl a breed and time it a come down
No money, no cash, not a loan sum
Goose over cook and burn

Hypocrites, backbiters, them all come
Gun shot, turf war, mek me all run
Loud noise, siren, dirty cops come
Things take a different turn

Jah will never give you more than you can bear
It?s so obvious and it?s crystal clear now
Jah will never leave I lonely
He?ll take me through the ruffest times

I will trust in the almighty, He will help me to get by
Though the system is all messed up
My meditation is very high, Jah will never leave I lonely
He?ll take me through the ruffest times

Strange world

Cork your ears if you don't like what me say
Cork your ears if you don't like what me say
Me a go spit out the truth

Tired to see the youth them clean car glass
And people a tell them 'bout them claat
They are the future slipping fast

Seems like they only aggravate
Have you ever thought about their case?
Actions, navigate their fate

I would like to change
Living in this strange world
I would like to change

Reality sometimes the blame
Living in this strange world
Destiny play games

Area leaders and thugs a run them turf
Now shot a buss to blouse and skirt
Innocent and the guilty getting hurt

Me like to see the ghetto hold the peace
But gunshot a spread like it's disease
News on TV makes me weep

I would like to change
Living in this strange world
I would like to change

Reality sometimes the blame
Living in this strange world
Destiny play games

I would like to change
Living in this strange world
I would like to change

Reality sometimes the blame
Living in this strange world
Destiny play games

I would like to change
Living in this strange world, yeah
I would like to change

I would like to change
I would like to change the world
I would like to change

Troubled waters

Hunger is frequent, can't find food fi eat
Can't pay the rent, some end up on the street
Them tax we daily, system indiscreet
Responsibilities, ends can hardly meet, hardly meet

We all know that certain things take time
But not forever
Comfort yourself by singing these lines of mine

Although the mountain is high
I know that one day I will get by
And although the bridges are low
I'll take my chances
To touch the troubled waters

Poverty done deya, It's a global thing
Crime and violence mek we head start spin, oh, what a thing
You see the homeless youths them, trust me, what a thing
Exposed to abuses, chances very slim, very slim

We all know that certain things take time
But not forever
Comfort yourself by singing these lines of mine

Although the mountain is high
I know that one day I will get by
And although the bridges are low
I'll take my chances
To touch the troubled waters

Take, take, chance, chance
Take, take, chance, chance

Some ghetto youths see no choice but fi tek up the gun
Some leave school with diploma
Yet work them can't get none, oh, what a thing
You think prison and death row system is such a fun, think again
Suicide to me my view is fire burn, fire burn

Although the mountain is high
I know that one day I will get by
And although the bridges are low
I'll take my chances
To touch the troubled waters

Although the mountain is high
I know that one day we will get by
And although the bridges are low
I'll take my chances
To touch the troubled waters

You'll can take a chances
To touch the troubled waters
I'll take my chances
To touch the troubled waters

Hunger is frequent, them tax we daily
Can't pay the rent, poverty done deya
[Incomprehensible]
Responsibilities

No choice
