Lyrics: Jesse Macfarlane
Music: The Wise Bloods/Jesse Macfarlane
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 lets just keep going on
Riding through this pit,
don't give in to temptation
'Cos they built this world this way
It's there to get you down
You can only Rob, Beg and Steal in a Babylon
You can only Rob, Beg and Steal in a Babylon
You can only Rob, Beg and Steal in a Babylon
You can only Rob, Beg and Steal in a Babylon
You can only Rob, Beg and Steal in a Babylon
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 it's own demise, desire and fear
have brought their bags set up shop
The streets we know were never there
to share the burden of the cost
My brother its hard I know it's tough
but time to leave the ways of the block
And
We deserve to see better days
so lets just keep going on
Riding through this pit,
don't give in to temptation
'Cos they built this world this way
It's there to get you down
You can only Rob, Beg and Steal in a Babylon
You can only Rob, Beg and Steal in a Babylon
You can only Rob, Beg and Steal in a Babylon
You can only Rob, Beg and Steal in a Babylon
You can only Rob, Beg and Steal in a Babylon
