Burning Lyrics

Mateo

Banks

Discovering the truth and empowering the youths

And teach dem the things weh can help bear the fruits

Teach dem fi plant the corn and lay off the fruit loops,

The dangerous things weh dem put ina we foods

Dem nuh abreast suh me know seh dem confuse

Cause them cyah understand the knowledge weh dem a abuse

Kids growing up today might nuh know Ian Boyne, Dion Jackson Miller nor even Cliff Hughes

Get dem the books fi the classroom

Stop make dem watch cartoon

Dem a turn lunatics off of looney toon

Gwaan form fool the king is coming soon

Cyah make it if yuh head light like a balloon

Dem a bafoon we a make some higher moves

Cyah battle Babylon without the intellectual tools

Soon you will be murdered for not doing what you're told to do

And that's just the rules

But will you roll over

Or stand like a soldier

Can't be the average poser

In a mental roller coaster

That take everything that they throw at you

No no no no no no no,

Don't want to be overcome when hard times come

Don't want to be overcome when hard times come

Hold on and keep strong and bun Babylon

Babylon is burning

Hold on

Hold on and keep strong and bun Babylon

Babylon is burning

Hold on

Dem cyah stop this

A nuh stopwatch this

This a eye opener dem better watch dis

Bada dan nuff a dem and mi just a catch mi practice

Positive a cancel negative

Wah kind of maths this

Government act like dem care

But all dem do a sidung ina dem office

Bun di Roman Catholic priest Pope Francis

Nuh fraid fi bun dem out

And nah fi use foul language

How you fi be a millionaire and suh much people a suffer round here

deven give dem a sandwich

Is like them plan dis

Fi ostracize blackness

Tie up your locks sis and catch up the rope twist

Black soldier nuh black panther

Dem do a movie fi make we feel stronger

But our greatness was ordained by the master

Dem send fast food suh we nuh live longer

We a dead faster

The world is a disaster

Praise Prince Emmanuel

Him a di creator

Dead faster

The world is a disaster

Praise Prince Emmanuel

Him a di creator

Don't want to be overcome when hard times come

Don't want to be overcome when hard times come

Hold on and keep strong and bun Babylon

Babylon is burning

Hold on

Hold on and keep strong and bun Babylon

Babylon is burning

Hold on

Babylon a bun dung enuh

So If unu up deh

Come dung

Right now

Mhm
