Lyrics
Rob, Beg And Steal
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.
It’s hard to leave and disregard a hand that you were once dealt
It’s harder to live free in a world that chooses not promote health
The trap is real and yet we feel to take control of this life
Even when Babylon offers you to grab the wrong end of a knife
We take the deal, win the bet or lose at this game of chess
We sign our name, accept conditions of this unholy mess
Just as long as we find ourselves in the same boat as all of the rest
They set the stage and we seek favour in this Babylon
We deserve to see better days so let’s just keep going on
Riding through this pit, don’t give in to temptation
'Cause they built this world this way, it’s there to get you down
You can only rob, beg and steal in a Babylon
Babylon, in a Babylon!
You can only rob, beg and steal in a Babylon
Babylon, in a Babylon!
You can only rob, beg and steal in a Babylon
Babylon, in a Babylon!
You can only rob, beg and steal in a Babylon
Babylon, in a Babylon!
You can only rob, beg and steal
In this age of disrespect they value the heart a lot less
Many mandem leave the nest believing those with lots deserve best
So greed feeds and never rests, supersedes love and all invest
In that so called trickle down effect
Those at the top that stir the pot, make sure Babylon won’t stop
Of its own demise, desire and fear have brought their bags set up shop
The streets we know we're never there to share the burden of the cost
My brother it’s hard I know it’s tough but time to leave the ways of the block
Get out of Babylon!
Soon we’ll see better days so let’s just keep going on
Riding through this pit, don't give in to temptation
'Cause they built this world this way, it's there to get you down
You can only rob, beg and steal in a Babylon
Babylon, in a Babylon!
You can only rob, beg and steal in a Babylon
Babylon, in a Babylon!
You can only rob, beg and steal in a Babylon
Babylon, in a Babylon!
You can only rob, beg and steal in a Babylon
Babylon, in a Babylon!
You can only rob, beg and steal in a Babylon
