Emmanuel Jal - Babylon lyrics

Chorus Sister, am in Babylon, brother, am in Babylon, Grandma, am in Babylon Please forgive, me forgive me Sister, am in Babylon, brother, am in Babylon, Grandma, am in Babylon Please forgive me not returning your phone call V1 Ah no time for family, time is money Everything here moves by the clock Our cousins are only half a block, I haven't seen them for almost a year You will be shocked when you'll see me, the stress is in my dread locks Broke broke, I hate to be broke. I live on credit, a soft way of telling you I'm in debt I've got so many cards Visa cards, Mastercard, commercial credit card I'm a hustler, victim, finding ways to survive in the system CH V2 Yeah I am in United Kingdom. London, home of Emma McCune One of the best places to be, they have got good programs here to help refugees Like me You see, success wouldn't have come if I hadn't found good people to help me here Nyakuoth, Nyaruach in your prayers pray for UK Things are not ok: Terrorist attack, war in Iraq There is recession; folks are losing their possessions The pound is going down and everybody is cursing golden brown CH Hey oh Ni ma hanza ku fuata pessa karibu ni potea Gizani Mama Hela gizani Britani bebanek ganah Ni ma hanza ku fuata pessa karibu ni potea Gizani Mama Hela gizani Britani bebanek ganah Pole Mama pole Grandma pole Dada pole Dada Ewe Mungu baba Nicheke Mkono sitaki poetea gizan babi mala Hmmn jamani hnn Amani Hmm Duniani Hmm Ona shetani ana Jeribu ku zukuma Gizani (Translation: I have begun following money into darkness, I'm almost getting lost mama Money in the darkness in Britain has k**ed human beings ,children Ey ah Sorry mama, sorry grandma sorry sister, sorry sister Oh God Father hold my hand I do not want to get lost in this world, people, peace in the world. Look Satan want to pull me in the darkness.) CH
