Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ah-ah-ah
What I read down there inna Babylon
Ah-ah-ah
So me a give it to you in a parable
[Verse 2]
Old time people them, used to say
When short mouth tell you you can't hear
So when long mouth tell you
Ya go feel it, feel it
You talk too much, you will pay
For what you don't eat
[Verse 3]
Goat never know the use of his tail
Till the butcher cut it off
Goat never know the use of his tail
Till the butcher cut it off
[Verse 4]
Looks is deceiving, man
Don't underrate no man
Looks is deceiving, yeah
Don't underrate no man
[Verse 5]
Don't watch the tool, the work it can do
Watch the man that behind it
The man laugh first, him no laugh
Yet the man laugh last
Get it full
[Verse 6]
Looks is deceiving, yeah
Don't underrate no man
Looks is deceiving, yeah
Don't underrate no man
[Verse 7]
Don't watch the tool, the work it can do
Watch the man that behind it
Man laugh first, him no laugh
Yet the one laugh last
Get it full
[Verse 8]
Ah-ah-ah
What I read down there inna Babylon
Ah-ah-ah
So me a give it to you in a parable
Ah-ah-ah
What I read down there inna Babylon
Ah-ah-ah
So me a give it to you in a parable
Ah-ah-ah
