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.
The songs of my ancestors still ricochet through the wind
And the smoke is rising through the words I and I sing
Music is my ammunition; I fire down Babylon!
The songs of my ancestors still ricochet through the wind
And the smoke is rising through the words I and I sing
Music is my ammunition; fire down Babylon!
Imprisonment, poverty and Babylon's system
We've been suffering all this time (all this time)
I and I keep on chanting down 'Till our children will face
The front of that line
The songs of my ancestors still ricochet through the wind
(Through the wind)
And the smoke is rising through the words I and I sing
Music is my ammunition, lord; I fire down Babylon!
The songs of my ancestors still ricochet through the wind
And the smoke is rising through the words I and I sing
Music is my ammunition, lord; I fire down Babylon!
Peace and dignity are not very far out of our reach
It just comes down (just comes down)
To what I and I choose to teach
Truth and honesty will free our hearts
And free our minds (free our minds)
So then our children can live together as one
'Till the end of time
The songs of my ancestors still ricochet through the wind
And the smoke is rising through the words I and I sing
Music is my ammunition, lord; I fire down Babylon!
The songs of my ancestors still ricochet through the wind
(Through the wind)
And the smoke is rising through the words I and I sing
Music is my ammunition, lord; I fire down Babylon!
Music is my ammunition; I fire down Babylon!
Music is my ammunition; I fire down Babylon!
Music is my ammunition, lord; I fire down Babylon
