Babylon Burning

These the last days on the ends (Last days)
Protect your family and pray for your friends (Hafta pray)
We bring light with the wave of the pen
And spark fire, time to blaze up again (Blaze it up)
These the last days on the ends (Last days)
Protect your family and pray for your friends (Hafta pray)
We bring light with the wave of the pen (Yeah)
And spark fire, time to blaze up again

Look wha gwaan inna di Earth today (Look)
Ah long time di Rasta man did have a name for this dirty place (Babylon)
Babylon dem nuh deserve nuh praise (Nah)
Dem bun ah fire pon yu when yu having fun and find a girl to chase (Fyah)
You get too close and I'ma burn your face (Uh)
The blazing spliff has been ignited, step back until you earn your space (Light it up)
See, nowadays, politicians only power chase
Kicking back in their mansions while they devour grapes (Trust)
Empty promises of equal justice
Got the feelings of the lower and second class on the cuspis (What we doing)
Of doing sutt'n drastic, you know the tactics
Riot and loot from the store, gimme dat, bitch (Gimme dat)
He saw the window and smashed it (ah), didn't have any money
On his plastic, became an opportunist and backed it
Evidence that society's backwards is everywhere
The future is still there but it's never clear (Wha, wha, wha)
So grim, we wonder if God was ever here
We have to walk through the valley of darkness and be never scared (End of days)
The end is near or so they say
I know they play with the emotions of believers who hope and pray (Why)
For better days and nights full of sleep
Stressed out husbands dealing with wives on the creep
Stressed out wives dealing with husbands that don't beat (Whoo)
Nuclear corruption in the sheets, it's deep

These the last days on the ends (Last days)
Protect your family and pray for your friends (Hafta pray)
We bring light with the wave of the pen
And spark fire, time to blaze up again (Blaze it up)
These the last days on the ends (Last days)
Protect your family and pray for your friends (Hafta pray)
We bring light with the wave of the pen (Yeah)
And spark fire, time to blaze up again

As the earth turns, I'm seeing the world burn
Trump make you wish Obama had a third term (Uh huh)
If America sneeze, Jamaica catch cold
Civil unrest, concern for black souls
Twenty Twenty, still fighting white supremacy
In the Caribbean, it's the colonial legacy
System inherited, we never question it
So deep rooted, we grew with the prejudice
You could be a lawyer or an executive (Don't matter)
Still get dissed for your skin and the shade it is
White lady call the cops on my cousin and her son (Wha dat fa)
They stood they ground 'cause they wasn't in the wrong (They wasn't)
We need change, sooner than later
Progress needs to be the news in the paper
My ancestors never cruise to Jamaica (They didn't)
At no point did we choose to be labour (We didn't)
I'm taking it back to the slave revolts
Buss di master head wid di chain and bolt (Yu hear dat?)
However we have to get our freedom
Cause it's a must, there's no better reason

These the last days on the ends (Last days)
Protect your family and pray for your friends (Hafta pray)
We bring light with the wave of the pen
And spark fire, time to blaze up again (Blaze it up)
These the last days on the ends
Protect your family and pray for your friends
The wave of the pen
Time to blaze up again

Fire
Babylon is burning
Burn

There's a bunch of Babylonians
