Babylon A Use Dem Brain

Ah more time you done know say

Holy Mount Zion that's where the foundation build

Well traditionally you know say

Everything got to full before it spill

Selasie I, oh Lord

Well, make dem know Babylon while you spread you spill

What we don't have every ghetto youth will

Can't take our own uno better be still

And lef' and go 'cause you gonna draw nil

Eh, ey, yo while you spread you spill

What we don't have every ghetto youth will

Can't take our own uno better be still

And lef' and go 'cause you gonna draw nil

Judgment

Dem only fight against herb and dem a shipping cocaine

Babylon a use dem brain

Well dem you know say bad mind dem ah go burn in tha flame

Oh, what a agony and oh what a shame

To see my black brother goin’ all down the drain

Man made to suffer and woman to feel pain

Dey rape mi mommy mi sister I say oh what a shame

Brother and mi father afi chop sugar cane

Pon the plantation under stress and shame

Pon dem hand, pon dem foot I just see shackles and chains

Now dem take it off and put it pon dem brain

Through dem ah mi nation fi go down the drain

Now the youths dem realize and shout the hailie hailie name

Man no pet lion dat mean we can't tame

One thing is our desire one thing is our aim

Me say wicked Babylon and dem ah go down the drain

Babylon while you spread you spill

What we don't have every ghetto youth will

Can't take our own uno better be still

And lef' and go 'cause you gonna get nil

Judgement

Oh, what a crisis you would cry facing this

Could dem ah come with dem kit jus to take every bit

Don't tink me doh know you are the boss fi your kit

But our share you won't be living wit

Now I see dem own face and dem own wanna vomit

Now something drop from your back

Nothing ah touch it ‘cause ah mine

Babylon

Babylon a use dem brain

The mark of da beast the whole ah dem a proclaim

Babylon a use dem brain

Dem only fight against herb and dem a shipping cocaine

Babylon a use dem brain

Well, dem you know say bad mind dem ah go burn in tha flame

Well, this is one thing I cannot over stand

Dem nah teach me nothin' 'bout mi Asian plan

Inna the school and the college and the institution

The curriculum that I get is European

Ah teach me bout Marco Polo and Napoleon

Nah teach me nothin' 'bout the river Nile bank

Where civilization it began

You say thou shall not steal and should not kill no one

Still you steal treacheries and then you teach wrong

Yea, yea slave and you murder all mi dad and mi mom

But wicked Babylonian and you will love to burn

Babylon ah

Tell dem come down, fire bun all politician

Ah causin' dispute makin' us their plan

Oh your dishonesty and war is their illustration

Competin' this is more than competition

Could that dem fightin' just to enslave black man

And now dem parties just ah cause bear partition

And who is you no one takes any instruction
