I grew from Babylon soil, born to consume and destroy./ I know that cash is king, I breath cocaine, bleed oil./ Made to rise above all, success' my ultimate goal./ I'm a do what it takes, and bring you down if a fall./ Handle my business with war, attack the poor, while praising the lord./ Raised to be raw, but act polite - for the show./ Let the cameras roll, I got no doubts or regrets./ Live off thousands of deaths, keep no promises - only threats/ You politicians preaching your vision of the truth./ Never cared about us and our point of view/ cus your campaigns only promote the killing fields./ Children cry but you don't hear, people die but you can't see/ cus war is big biz the big guys get rich/ livin' off the poor and gain money on sick kids./ It's a show for those who can afford the price/ but turn that shit off I won't let you gamble with my life!
Chorus We don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows./ We don't need your politicians to know which way to go./ We don't need your teachers, leave the kids alone,/ and we don't need the poisonous fruits of Babylon
Bridge Babylon - always recruiting plotting./ Babylon - but yo, my crew been watching./ Babylon - and if your roots forgotten./ Babylon - then your fruits will rotten.
I drink away the pain, on top of the food chain./ The fast life, fast lane, view people as loose change./ Piss champagne, not really hungry - but I'm eating,/ Grow fat for no reason, and though it's hot, my hearts freezing/ Look into the mirror do you see what I see?/ I'm a reflection of your actions and will always be/ the result of your plans, the breed of your scams,/ and I'll forever be a prisoner of your land/ Hey, I'm the good guy, modern man, enlightened, I understand./ Y'all don't seem to get it, why should I care about a foreign land?/ You with me or against me, fight for the love of money./ Join me in this good life, sell your soul for blood money
Chorus
I don't vote, I cut a politician's throat./ Hang him with the same rope as I do the pope,/ cus I see the hope in the eyes of our children./ I won't go for your bribes of your millions,/ cus I see no future in the lies and the killings./ We all saw what happened to financial buildings./ It's all for a reason whether right or wrong,/ somebody felt their people had been dying to long./ Revenge, retaliation and stupid pride/ on both sides. So we keep losing lives - / worldwide. I sing this one for our mothers,/ take a sec to recollect just how much they love us...
