Poverty and greed got us deceived by the lavish life
Cops don't give a fuck about a ****'s life
This ain't nothing but a psychopath's wonderland
Deals done underhand
Shit so cold, they sell they soul for a hundred grand
Corruption is the new obsession, we wrap our blessings in a rubber band
The oppressions of the son and man
Cascades of misery and violence
The casualties of war are held silent
The tribe of Gad, moves defined
Another chapter in the sons of Zion
A gangster's lullaby filled with gunshots and sirens
[Verse 3]
We on the last days of apocalypse
Pipe bombs and hostages
Pussy-whip our goddesses
Blinded what a prophet is
The only peace we ever knew comes with a hollowed tip
Spade Your highness tells you what the gossip is
Eat the fruit
[Verse 4]
(Wah mi say)
Five O at the front door
They keep aimin' at our mind tho
(Mi tellin' ya)
Wise up, you better stay woke
And keep up with the times, yo
'Cause they keep on killing our whole vibe
(What dem sing)
They killin' our whole vibe
They killin' our whole vibe
Babylon keep on killing our whole vibe
[Verse 5]
Kick in your door
Wave in the .44
Po Po, they loco, as if you don't know
So cold, out to get you, the feds or the Nazis
But you don't get the picture like some dead paparazzi
This prophecy, ain't no stopping me
Never cop a plea
So we spittin' bars, where hittin' hard is the policy
Who the top emcee? Hip-hop to hypocrisy
I properly handle my biz and dismantle the mockeries
Get offa me
Tryna control my animosity
They took the property, like it was a game of Monopoly
Grand larcenies, atrocities, no apologies
They pray to win the lottery
I pray against poverty
It bothers me, check the economy, on the R-E-Z
So we use our sovereignty, move ya blood in the arteries
I bomb atomic-ly, Socrates, philosophies, and hypotheses
Can't define how I be droppin' these
[Verse 6]
(Wah mi say)
Five O at the front door
They keep aimin' at our mind tho
(Mi tellin' ya)
Wise up, you better stay woke
And keep up with the times, yo
'Cause they keep on killing our whole vibe
(What dem sing)
They killin' our whole vibe
They killin' our whole vibe
Babylon keep on killing our whole vibe
[Verse 7]
I can feel the streets bubblin'
The people's tempers boilin'
Sick from the bloodline of these so-called royal men
They only loyal to the soil that they spoilin'
We trapped in the barbwire slowly uncoilin'
These men drillin' and killin'
No villians spillin' hate
Every treaties been broken
This a military state
Deep in the concrete, you can feel the city breathing
Your breath getting heavy 'cause the tension got you reaching
You seein' what I'm seeing
Or you believin' what they tell you?
I'm only speaking truth about the lies that they sell you
They got you on a cell, like you trapped in this cell
Gotta break out this spell to make it out of this hell
Ain't nothing new on the block
Getting shot by the cops
When the streets get hot
Another body goes drop
Now time don't stop for no man, so keep it pushin'
And lift up your people
The serpent got you choosin'
[Verse 8]
(Wah mi say)
Five O at the front door
They keep aimin' at our mind tho
(Mi tellin' ya)
Wise up, you better stay woke
And keep up with the times, yo
'Cause they keep on killing our whole vibe
(What dem sing)
They killin' our whole vibe
They killin' our whole vibe
Babylon keep on killing our whole vibe
[Verse 9]
(Turtle Island to the world
Turtle Island to the world
Forward ever and a-backward never
Forward ever and a-backward never
Turtle Island to the world
Turtle Island to the world
Forward ever and a-backward never
Forward ever and a-backward never)
