Lyrics
Babylon be still
When I blow this trumpet
Babylon be still
We are good enough to build your city
Yet not good enough to be a part of your society
Still that's fine with me, yeah
We are good enough to build your school
Yet not good enough to attend it
No, we can't attend your school
But we can go to your church
I wanna know what is it that you are up to
I am still on a search
The cry of my people is upon you
Babylon, your doom
The blood of my people is upon you
What you gonna do?
The cry of my people is upon you
Babylon, your doom
The blood of my people is upon you
What you gonna do?
(What you gonna do?)
We do all the hard work
But it's you who achieve, yeah
Now you tell me when will I receive
I know that Jah is grieved
The cry of my people is upon you
Babylon, your doom
The blood of my people is upon you
What you gonna do?
The cry of my people is upon you
Babylon, your doom
The blood of my people is upon you
What you gonna do?
(What you gonna do?)
We're not good enough to marry your daughters, oh no
Yet we're so precious that you'd rape our mothers
I'm crying
Lightning, brimstone and fire
For all you heartless vampires
Vampires
The cry of my people is upon you
Babylon, your doom
The blood of my people is upon you
What you gonna do?
The cry of my people is upon you
Babylon, your doom
The blood of my people is upon you
What you gonna do?
(What you gonna do?)
We are good enough to build your city
Yet not good enough to be a part of your society
Still that's fine with me, yeah
We are good enough to build your school
Yet not good enough to attend it
