lyrics

Babylon a burn
Say Babylon a burn
Oh yes, oh yeah 
Burn Babylon go burn

I will not be shaken
by the stories that you tell
My body will not be ruled
by the drugs that you sell
With my head held high
I will not be pushed around
I will never sell my soul
I will always stand my ground

‘Cause I’m backed by the most high
Watching through my third eye
Energies are balancing
Masculine and Feminine
I’m calm on my farm
I ain’t running on Adrenaline
I’m soaking up the sun
While I’m boosting up my Melanin

Babylon a burn
Burn Babylon go burn

Now I’m prepared for disruption
I’m one step ahead
Not fooled by your distraction
I’ll be living life instead
Yes, the story fell apart
A long time ago
We could see it from the start
What you believe is what you sow

Stepping out of the system
Can’t you see I’m self-sufficient?
Calling on all Warriors
Who feel like truth is their mission
In the script you’ll see it written
Calling on my inner wisdom
Power is my only symptom
I’ll be holding my position

Babylon a burn
Burn Babylon go burn

I will not live my life
In fear of getting arrested
I will breathe fresh air
Just the way it was intended
With my head held high
I will not be pushed around
Your system does not define me
I will always stand my ground

Destroying all our potential
Lock us down, we’ll come back strong
Selling fear to feed illusion
But we knew it all along
We're firm we won’t be forced
 and there’s no need to coerce
Listen, we won’t be trialed
With an experimental dose!

Babylon a burn
Burn Babylon go burn

I will not be shaken
By the stories that you tell
My body will not be ruled
By the drugs that you sell
With my head held high
I will not be pushed around
I will never sell my soul
I will always stand my ground

‘Cause we’re backed by the most high
Watching through our third eye
Energies are balancing
Masculine and Feminine
We’re calm on the farm
We ain’t running with the enemy
The best is yet to come
Whatcha leaving as a legacy?
