Babylon Homework

Me just wanna say hail to Haile Selassie

Emperor Haile Selassie I the first
Babylon you see, when those youths come about

You know, it's just redder fire
Yeh man, we send enough stories to Babylon

Remember this

Nothing inna Babylon nah work
Watch the inequity have to get up and spurt
Not even a wicked man can serve
Rome catch a fire 'cause deh Vatican thirst

Nothing inna Babylon can work
Things get lock off and them a dead fi pure thirst
Not even a wicked man can serve
Yow, desolation to the earth

Brain them a use 'bout a Christ ride the donkey
Who them a fool 'bout sey, black man a monkey
