Tarrus Riley - Parables lyrics

Read between the lines Open up your third eye Read between the lines Open up your eyes (spoken) Mister Babylon yeaaa Has got the people's eyes blind folded Lost in a nursery rhymes culture, and fiction ahhh Still there's a real world (check it) And it's full of so many things that are not right It's no fairy tale, it's a harsh reality It looks like the 3 blind mice Dem are the big guys who put the price on the rice When the dish ran away with the spoon Many were left hungry desperate for food You got to check those parables You got to sauce it Coz Babylon too tricky and they moving real slippery Check those parables, you've got to sauce it Read between the lines and wise Now Jack and Jill went up the hill Robbed people against them will Them think them wise and think them sk** No get no water Humptey Dumbptey had to fall…..to climb the wall And highly name them had to call, to get the plaster You got to check those parables You got to sauce it Coz Babylon too tricky and they moving real slippery Check those parables, you've got to sauce it Read between the lines and wise Now little Bo peep, must have sleep Or if you lose sleep in times like these When basic necessity are headache and stress to eat Ma**ive buildings burning down, sept 11, 911 Check the clothes and everyone and then you'll see how it was done Those parables You got to sauce it Coz Babylon too tricky and they moving real slippery Check those parables, you've got to sauce it Read between the lines and wise Mister Babylon Now they' re the master of great manipulation And they'll distract your head, to change your meditation, I-n-I Still there's a real world, and full of many many things that are not right It's no fairytale, it's a harsh reality It looks like the 3 blind mice Dem are the big guys who put the price on the rice When the dish ran away with the spoon Many were left hungry desperate for food You got to check those parables You got to sauce it Coz Babylon too tricky and they moving real slippery Check those parables, you've got to sauce it Read between the lines and wise Now the itty bitsy spider, washed away with water Natural disaster, America and Jamaica Ivan and Katrina, tsunami can't recover Help us most high Jah, coz you've got the power Check those parables You got to sauce it Coz Babylon too tricky and they moving real slippery Check those parables, you've got to sauce it Read between the lines and wise Mister Babylon yeaaa Has got the people's eyes blind folded Lost in a nursery rhymes culture, and fiction ahhh So check your parables You got to sauce it Coz Babylon too tricky and they moving real slippery Check those parables, you've got to sauce it Read between the lines and wise You better check those parables...
