Victims Lyrics by Earl 16

Higher Than I

2008

[Intro]
There's gonna be a revolution
We can't stand the situation, yeah
It's just the Babylon system, yeah

[Verse 1]
I see my brothers, dem a feel it
And they're so afraid to face it
The politician-dem a use us
An' the government come an' abuse us now
Tell me why we have to struggle?
Can't get no job, that's why we have to struggle
There's gonna be a revolution
'Cause we just can't stand the situation

[Chorus]
Babylon system (Yeah)
Want you be the victim (Right now)
There's gonna be a revolution
We just can't stand the situation
The Babylon system (Woah)
Hang the politicians right now
I and I are victim (Woah)
There's gonna be a revolution

[Verse 2]
Hey my people, can't you see
What the system will do for you and me
The government, dem a use us
And the system will always abuse us now
Tell me why we have to suffer?
Why the rich man keeps getting richer?
He sitting down in his easy chair
While the poor cats, they just don't care

[Chorus]
Down in a them system (Woah)
I an' I, we are the victims (Yeah)
There's gonna be a revolution
We just can't stand the situation
Babylon system, woah, I and I are victim (Yeah)
True, the politician, they know
And we just can't take it no more (Yeah)
We've reached the limit, yeah now (Right now)
And we just can't take it no more, no more (Yeah)
There's gonna be a revolution in a this ya tribulation
'Cause we just can't take it, we've reached the limit
The limit, the limit, the limit (Yeah)

[Verse 3]
They give us promises and big talk
While we still sitting down on the sidewalk (Yeah)
How they expect us to get through?
Now we just don't know what to do
We need food, clothes and shelter
We need things to get a little better
So, tell me, why we have to suffer?
Tell me why I and I feel the pain

[Chorus]
Down in a them system (Woah)
Why am I the victim? (Yeah)
Down in a them system right now
Why am I the victim? (Woah)
So now we've reached the limit
The politicians, they don't know it
There's gonna be a revolution
We just can't take the sufferation (Yeah now)

[Verse 4]
I see my sister, she at freeway
She just don't know to live (Yeah)
The politician, them a use her
And her husband will come and abuse her

[Outro]
Now we know the system (Woah)
A Babylon system (Yeah)
So why are we the victim? (Woah)
We just can't take it no more
The system (Woah)
I and I are victims (Woah yeah)
It's the Babylon system
There's gonna be a revolution right now
