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

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

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 killed 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.)
