Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come we go burn down Babylon one more time
(Come we go burn down Babylon one more time)
Come we go chant down Babylon one more time
(Come we go chant down Babylon)
[Verse 2]
Are them soft? Yes, them soft
(Aye oye)
Them soft, yes them soft
(Aye oye)
So come we got chant down Babylon one more time
(Come we go chant down Babylon)
[Verse 3]
Man see their dreams and aspiration
And it crumble in front of their face
And all of their wicked intention
To destroy the human race
[Verse 4]
How don't you know
And how I know
And that's how I know
A reggae music
Man we chant down Babylon, the music
Man we chant down Babylon, this music
Man we chant down Babylon, this music
Come we chant down Babylon
[Verse 5]
Come we go chant down Babylon one more time
(Come we go burn down Babylon one more time)
Come we go chant down Babylon one more time
(Come we go chant down Babylon)
[Verse 6]
Are them soft? Yes, them soft
(Aye oye)
Them soft
They said them soft
(Aye oye)
So come we got chant down Babylon one more time
(Come we go chant down Babylon)
[Verse 7]
They say, music you're, music you're the key
Talk to who?
Please talk to me
Bring the voice of, of the Rastaman
Communicating to, cating to everyone
[Verse 8]
How I (Know)
How I know
How I (Know)
How I know
And that's how I know
A reggae music
[Verse 9]
Chant down, chant down, chant down Babylon
Chant down Babylon
Chant down Babylon
Chant down Babylon
Reggae music, chant down Babylon
Reggae music, chant down Babylon
Reggae music, chant down Babylon
Reggae music, (Chant down Babylon)
