I came into this world high as a bird 

From second hand cocain powder 

i know it sounds absurd 

I never tooted but its in my veins 

While the rest of the country bungies off bridges 

Without no snap back 

and bitches they say they need that 

To shake they fannies in the ass clubs 

they go the other route 

turn each other out 

burn each other out 

where a bonified nigga like me 

can't even get no back rub these days 

ain't that bleak on they part 

but let me hold it down 

cause they shut you down 

when you speak from your heart 

now that's hard 

while we rantin and ravin bout gats 

nigga they made them gats 

they got some shit that'll blow out our backs 

from where they stay at 



[Chorus:] 



Ooooh, I fear the battle's just begun 

Ooooh, though we're here someday we will be gone 

so i'm hopin, wishin, prayin 

to keep my faith in you, in you 



(yo, yo, yo in background) 



I'm fascinated by the way yo 

nipples peak at me through yo blouse 

freaky me, freaky you 

can't help but be aroused 

'scuse me lord less for thinkin 

but that's the way we was brought up 

sneakin to watch playboy at night 

we all must be caught up in worldly ways 

Chemistry between boys and girls 

is alot like when we went to the woods 

and laid with the squirrels 

durin P.E., we'd be 

exploring each others privates 

hunchin with all our clothes on 

until we felt excited then, aaaah 

oh now its on from here on out 

put yo hands in the atmosphere 

if you know what i'm talkin bout 

now if two hearts done walk on out 

and i see you on the next song 

they call it horny 

Because its devilish 

now see we dead wrong 



[Chorus] 



People don't know the stress i'm dealing with day to day 

Speakin about the feeling i'm possessing for Rene 

Mopin around and wondering where she stay 

saw her last that she lay 

give it another day i say 

but the lord he taketh away 

now give it back lawd 

cause that's like backboards without the rims 

me and my auntie was tight like southwest 

before the pinks moved in 

like the niggas that owned the ligour store 

crack cocaine, pimps and whores 

livin up on this earth 

before a nigga like daddy was born 

but they makin a scene 

that my music and crime are a team 

but i'm speakin the truth not dreams 

so what in the fuck they mean 

my lyrics ain't clean

Now that the thrill of the massacre is over 

Isn't it sweet when she sucks on your veins 

I've waited so long 



I roll back the stone just to see 

What I'm missing 

Glimpses of grandeurr now faced with defeat 

I've waited so long 



Now that your kingdom of Babylon's fading 

where will you turn when you can't find 

Your soul 

I've waited so long 



Salvation's at hand, 

Its a matter of taste dear 

Lost in ideals you found in the trash 

I've waited so long

Friday night I'm

going nowhere

All the lights are changing green to red

Turning over TV stations

Situations running through my head

Well looking back through time

You know it's clear that I've been blind

I've been a fool

To ever open up my heart

To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule



Saturday I'm running wild

And all the lights are changing red to green

Moving through the crowd I'm pushing

Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream

Only wish that you were here

You know I'm seeing it so clear

I've been afraid

To tell you how I really feel

Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made



If you want it

Come and get it

Crying out loud

The love that I was

Giving you was

Never in doubt

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now



Babylon, Babylon



Sunday all the lights of London

Shining , Sky is fading red to blue

I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves

And wondering where it is you might be going to

Turning back for home

You know I'm feeling so alone

I can't believe

Climbing on the stair

I turn around to see you smiling there

In front of me



If you want it

Come and get it

Crying out loud

The love that I was

Giving you was

Never in doubt

And feel it now

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now



Babylon, Babylon, Babylon

Babylon your spirit can not die 

Paradise for sin and Lust 



Mothertown of demons 

You had to fall but "thy fallen shall rise" 

In the name of our mother 

Babalon; Lilith thy whore 



Babylon rise from the depths 

Ride on the seeds of time 

Legends can not die 

Live through the visions in our minds 



Walking down the ashes 

The ashes of unholy domains 

Sin and lust were conquered 

Symbolized by the tower that fell 



Culture of depravation 

Sodomy and sexual obsession 

Cults of Baphomet wide spread 

A thousand years of pleasure and sin

Yeah...

In a world of hate pollution

we can't breathe anymore

we've to leave and this time you,

the pawn, have won.

on our quest for nowhere island

we set off to the sea.

you call surrender what we call

a calm before the storm...



pounding thoughts of home they make me know: "i

will return! i don't live my life for you.

it's too short to get burned.

stand upright and face the wind!"



[chorus:]



time to go back where i belong...

no one can prevent me from

raising towers in babylon.

time to go back where i belong...

no one can accuse me

for i do not fear babylon, babylon...



you only can love me if you can convert me

to attitudes of your brain

you blame us for doing things

that you don't know. you tell me what you'd do if

you were me but you are you and i am i

lucky you, but this time i say: "no!"



pounding thoughts of home they make me know: "i

will return!". i don't want to hurt you but you'll

have ot learn: you are you and i am i!!!



[repeat]



ooohhh...



oh yeah...



[repeat]

Unlock the gates 

Unlock the doors 

Cyrus waits outside no more 

Laughter rose 

Inside the walls 

In the night this time 

The ancient city falls 



I'm running from the storm 

It can not be too long before it's gone 

I'm searching for the dawn 

Touch me and my soul will be reborn 

I have seen babylon 



Soon to come - the mystery 

She'll rise above the land and sea 

Babylon the great will cry 

Kings will weep and 

Souls will die 

The clouds are are gathering today 

Feel the thunder in the streets 

I hear the prophets pray 



I'm running from the storm 

It can not be too long before it's gone 

I'm searching for the dawn 

Touch me and my soul will be reborn 

I have seen babylon 



Nations drink the fatal wine of 

Intense immortal crime 

Babylon will surely fall with 

Judgement day upon us all 

I'm running from the storm 

It can not be too long before it's gone 

I'm searching for the dawn 

Touch me and my soul will be reborn 

I'm running from the storm 

It can not be too long before it's gone 

I'm searching for the dawn 

Touch me and my soul wïll be reborn 

I have seen babylon
