Babylon Lyrics by Marie Coke

Marie Coke

2021

Dem come nice
Dem come sweet
Dem nuh skin teeth
Dem Mek the wrong seem right
And the bitter seem sweet
Dem put you pon the mountain top to mek you feel nice
But wait you better think twice
Babylon wi bun it
Oppression days are done and tonight
My people stand up and fight
We unite and we forgive
That’s why we always win
They only want to judge us cause the color of our skin
Babylon we bun it
Oppression days are done and tonight
My people stand and and rise
We unite and we forgive
That’s why we always win
They only want to kill us cause the color of our skin
Mississippi mi seh Goddamn
Strange fruit are hanging from the tree that’s all men
Nina Simone turning in her grave saying God damn
Martin Luther king blood was shed
Such injustice that we living in
We are black and strong but fragile
How much of our blood you want to shed like God damn
What’s up with the civil rights movement
We fought man
I don’t see no justice
Pure corruption
That’s the system that we living in
Babylon wi bun it
Oppression days are done and tonight
My people stand up and fight
We unite and we forgive
That’s why we always win
They only want to judge us cause the color of our skin
Babylon we bun it
Oppression days are done and tonight
My people stand and and rise
We unite and we forgive
That’s why we always win
They only want to kill us cause the color of our skin
Such a dreadful journey we trying to trying to survive
Let’s take it to the days of the 1955
When men like Martin Luther
Medger trying to rise
Malcom X my brother life was sacrificed
To expose the corruption and the lies
My black people we must conquer and we strive
And we rise
We survive
Yea We conquer and we rise!!
Babylon wi bun it
Oppression days are done and tonight
My people stand up and fight
We unite and we forgive
That’s why we always win
They only want to judge us cause the color of our skin
Babylon we bun it
Oppression days are done and tonight
My people stand and and rise
We unite and we forgive
That’s why we always win
They only want to kill us cause the color of our skin
