Babylon[ER]

[Background vocals by Sufjan Stevens and Shara Worden] [Intro] I decree and declare that they will never be broke a day in their life I decree and declare God will curse them will multiple streams of income at a young age I decree and declare God will curse them will multi million dollar deals In Jesus name Amen [Verse 1: Asaiah Ziv] Whips check, chains check, idols check, fame check Y'all just trying to be some kings I hope you don't fail Or fall from your God and make the truth a lie Unless you die for your righteousness marshall law Martyrs of a modern time I hope you ain't enlisted For a trade you can keep your gold chains I ain't trying to be a slave I'm just trying to pave a way for some freedom A lot of us searching, a lot of us curse Perverting what was true Ain't nobody keep their word Asserting what is real exposing what is blurred Misinterpreting His word Alone in Babylon [Hook: Kiya Lacey] People living for nothing In the nations wearing themselves only for fire Fulfilling desire Lost in a long fall to our knees in Babylon Babylon[ER] [Verse 2: Aaiah Ziv] God bless America, God bless my city, God bless my people, God bless my family We just living in the test of time in a twine With the crime of America Black and white America Racism isn't past tense, but the color of the war has been distorted another baby aborted Being born in a lost generation where our leaders are the rappers and the presidents' an actor Lets just skip another chapter matter of fact lets just close the book Ain't nobody trying to read they just rather watch TV Watch them lies televised on the television If I decide to spit the truth I wonder if they'll listen Alone in Babylon [Hook] [Verse 3: Asaiah Ziv] Well can I get a church (Amen) a church (amen!) Now can I make a comment about the church? (go ahead) I don't see these congregations doing work (well said) They just dismissing other people leaving hurt (or worse) Paparazzi preachers wanna sell faith falling victim to the system Gotta get em enslaved Pass the bucket, pass the bucket now lets move it to the bank Call that organized religion thats the stuff I think I hate Hold up can I pray Lord forgive me for my anger, can you give me wisdom? (please) Cause I ain't tryna fall victim to this chain system And I know I'm in a world that spend a fallen man I just need protection I ain't trying to leave like Solomon Babylon [Hook] [Outro: Kiya Lacey] Living for nothing Babylon Babylon[ER]
