[Intro]
Wow! Think about
Here I come again, ya

[Verse 1]
Big wheel keeps on turning
And a proud Mary keep on burning
So when I tell you say that a big wheel a keep on turning
And natty dreadlocks gonna keep on earning (Wow)
I say, the big wheel gonna keeps on turning
And you now see deh, natty, Babylon burning
Gotta burning, burning, burning (Yeah, you know)
And burning, burning, burning

[Bridge]
I say, too much light from the east
From the signal of the beat, I said, I said

[Verse 2]
You now see deh, natty, Babylon burning
Big wheel that keeps on turning 'round and 'round the way
While the proud Mary keeps on burning (Wow)
Keep on earning
And natty dreadlocks a keep on earning (Yeah, you know)
Watch the little light from the east
And I say, the signal from the beat
Sound, so natty dreadlocks, they can keep on earning (Wow)
And you now see deh, natty, Babylon burning
So burning, burning, burning
When I tell you, burning, burning, burning

[Bridge]
Don't spread no propaganda
Stick your guns over yonder
When I take a glance over yonder
And I coulda see deh, see deh, see deh, see deh, see deh
Fire right on ya

[Outro]
So say the big wheel keep on turning
So mi say that natty dreadlock, they can keep on earning (Wow)
But you now see seh di Babylon burning (Yeah)
