The Late Ones - Babylon Exists

Babylon exists
I see her everyday
In the eyes of my brothers
She leads them astray
Anything I man desire
She grants I
Confusing I and I
With wicked lie
Yeah 
Yeah

Babylon exists
I see her everyday
In the eyes of my brothers
She leads them astray
Anything I man desire
She grants I
Confusing I and I
With wicked lie
Yeah 
Yeah

I know that they exist cuz I could see em in my rear view
Hella clear two eyes open like deers do
In them high lights young and black making highlights
Sipping high life's tryna see how I can get by like
Hands up, can't breathe
That's how we be feeling at the house, can't leave
But I know they be killing young minorities
Cuz my goal is the gold
That's the priority I just hope you feeling me
And this verse will keep you high like where the ceilings be
Tryna stay spiritually inclined that's where healings be
And even after all my logic and my theory
I add a mutha fucka so you ign'ant niggas hear me
Uh

Babylon exists
I see her everyday
In the eyes of my brothers
She leads them astray
Anything I man desire
She grants I
Confusing I and i
With wicked lie
Yeah
Yeah

I lick shot pon Babylon Bwaii, who want it?
Lick shot again, who gon' stop we?
I come in the name of Jah
Boss of the bosses
Make his word spread
No matter what the cost is
We nah see one nation under one God
Look around all I see man think them rule all
Thou shall not kill
God put it in the Bible
But we nah put it in the constitution?
We just want to live
And prosper off the gifts that jah gives
Live free and live again!
Who are you to take away what Jah gives?
My pursuit of happiness is at risk!

Babylon exists
I see her everyday
In the eyes of my brothers
She leads them astray
Anything I man desire
She grants I
Confusing I and i
With wicked lie
Yeah

Chief about it then I'm ready for the limelight 
I think about it I just gotta keep my rhymes tight
And if I make it swear to God I'll get my moms right 
We all night 
You all hype 
We keep it low key and we stay up in the lab bro
Focused on the mission cuz the dough we gotta grab yo 
Dream of big steaks on my plate 
To get my belly full 
Make my own lane in the game 
So forget the rules as usual 
The people's who we do this fo' 
It's rough try not to lose it tho'
Tryna live our lives 
They keep us shackled to a cubicle 
Eyes wide open 
Got no time to get delusional 
We bout that grind 
We struggle but keep it coolio
We maintain these other cats can't hang
They know the name
Put these silly suckers to shame 
Babylon, the boyz, the system it's all the same 
Keep it pushin' young soldier 
What's the gain without the pain?

Babylon exists
I see her everyday
In the eyes of my brothers
She leads them astray
Anything I man desire
She grants I
Confusing I and i
With wicked lie
Yeah
Yeah
