Greedy Babylon - Jesse Royal

Now let Jah rise and all enemies be scattered

Like the wax that melteth before the fire

So melt them away oh Jah

Because we living in a world where neglect is prevalent

With a lot of moral cavaliers and less diligent

Me see more ties severing daily

None a mend

Oh thanks to this egotistic government

The messages they send via what they reconmmend

Is I and I a prove seh the fools devil sent

But oh what a sittn when the utes start vent

Demise face all who fail to repent

Dutty Babylon you greedy

Robbing from the needy

Make we life so hard

Selassie know you not easy

Dutty Babylon you sleezy

Robbing from the needy

Make we life so hard

Selassie know you not easy

But I know that it won’t be long

Before the children stand up strong

I know it won’t be long

Before the children stand as one

A desperation on the face of the devastated youth

Who a look a brighter day

But simply can’t find the route

Government a contribute to the many destitute

Cause the things they institute only please but a few

Offended by them style and unpleasant attritubes

Startled by the things they do to keep we pon a mute

Commenting on the things which they know not about

The amount of times them disappoint the natty

Can’t even count

Dutty Babylon you greedy

Robbing from the needy

Make we life so hard

Selassie know you not easy

Dutty Babylon you sleezy

Robbing from the needy

Make we life so hard

Selassie know you not easy

But I know that it won’t be long

Before the children stand up strong

I know it won’t be long

Before the children stand up strong

A coulda what the utes dem do

Mek them a treat we so bad

Why is it they want to take away

The little that we have

The rich a rob the poor

It hurt mi heart fi see that

Cause everybody know there is enough

Fi all glad

The gluttonous and the covitous

Just a scheme and a plot

Fi confine the utes weh a try counteract

The folly them promote

And all the rubbish them a chat

But soon and very soon

There will be no holding back

Dutty Babylon you greedy

Robbing from the needy

Make we life so hard

Selassie know you not easy

Dutty Babylon you sleezy

Robbing from the needy

Make we life so hard

Selassie know you not easy

But I’m warning you it won’t be long

Before the children stand up strong

I know it won’t be long

Before the children stand as one
