Lyrics
Babylon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tryna be happy
I am happy
Say: I am love
Okay, here's the truth
The Sun came up
It's supposed to
The waves came up
It's supposed to
These things never end
Keep life going like a friend
You can trust and depend
It'll keep come in again
The world keeps spinning on
The world keeps spinning on
This war's too big for the man dem
God Satan moving in tandem
You think everything is random
You fool
In world where there's hunger
Billionaires build a bunker
Keep your spirit one hundred
And you can't go under
Satan's looking for a member
Stay strong in thе thunder
God can't be outnumberеd
So it's time to surrender
This war's too big for the man dem
'Cause God Satan moving in tandem
You think everything is random
You fool, you fool, you fool
When you can see truth
What's more there to prove?
It can happen out the blue
You don't get to choose
I lived for the getting
I wanna here for giving
Bad girl here for the killing
Now I pray for the living
Angel messenger
Stay out of the danger
Out of the drama
In this last hour
For Babylon
