Babylon Fallin by Kabaka Pyramid Lyrics
[Intro]
Babylon, you're fallin' down
Me say you're not gonna live fi see the mornin' come
Your wicked empire, me a chant it down
Cah you follow Lucifer, the fallen sun
With him flattering lips and him charming tongue
The most-high blessing, and you call it dung
Cah the people a suffer like dog
And when the weeping and the moaning, and bawling done
You a go get stun
[Verse one]
You never see it coming like thief inna night
When your city start bun up like weed inna pipe
Blood a flow like river through street what a sight
Politician head a roll like wheel pon' a bike
Brimstone fire, earthquake and disaster
Nobody can't save you not even the pastor, you're slaughter
We like them animal inna the pasture
Why you a break all the laws of my heart for
[Chorus]
You're fallin' down
Me say you're not gonna live fi see the mornin' come
Your wicked empire, me a chant it down
Cah you follow Lucifer, the fallen sun
With him flattering lips and him charming tongue
The most-high blessing, and you call it dung
Cah the people a suffer like dog
When the weeping and the moaning, and bawling done
You a go get stun
[Verse two]
Tings a get drastic
From you full the ocean up of plastic
A mountain of rubbish heap up inna the Atlantic
Nah get no answers from uno just semantics
The lies them a tell just stretch like elastic
Building more factories, polluting the air
Still we nah get distracted, we move with no fear
The truth it is clear, revolution is near
Dutty Babylon best prepare
[Chorus]
Cah, you're fallin' down
Me say you're not gonna live fi see the mornin' come
Your wicked empire, me a chant it down
Cah you follow Lucifer, the fallen sun
With him flattering lips and him charming tongue
The most-high blessing, and you call it dung
Cah the people a suffer like dog
When the weeping and the moaning, and bawling done
You a go get stun
[Verse three]
Tell them straight
Set the fire bun them red inna the earth
For the amount of blood you shed inna the earth
You make your bed inna the dirt
Bury you? You should've never desert
Rastafari children them we're empress men inna birth
Now we mama Africa we gon' left with a splurt
Cah you can't measure me worth, so treasure me words
We a left with all the money where the fed them reserve
And give poor people what them deserve
[Chorus]
That's when... you're fallin' down
Me say you're not gonna live fi see the mornin' come
Your wicked empire, me a chant it down
Cah you follow Lucifer, the fallen sun
With him flattering lips and him charming tongue
The most-high blessing, and you call it dung
Cah the people a suffer like dog
When the weeping and the moaning, and bawling done
You a go get stun
[Outro]
Stun them
Me say we a go bun them
Rastafari a dun them
We a laugh and shun them, yay
Babylon bridge is fallin'
Babylon bridge is burnin'
Babylon bridge is fallin' today, fallin' today
Bun them
Shun them
Stun them
Accurate, immaculate
Babylon, you're fallin' down
Me say you're not gonna live fi see the mornin' come
Your wicked empire, me a chant it down
Cah you follow Lucifer, the fallen sun
With him flattering lips and him charming tongue
The most-high blessing, and you call it dung
Cah the people a suffer like dog
And when the weeping and the moaning, and bawling done
You a go get stun
[Verse one]
You never see it coming like thief inna night
When your city start bun up like weed inna pipe
Blood a flow like river through street what a sight
