Babylon lyrics

Sister, I'm in Babylon

Brother, I'm in Babylon

Grandma, I'm in Babylon

Please forgive me, forgive me

Sister, I'm in Babylon

Brother, I'm in Babylon

Grandma, I'm in Babylon

Please forgive me for not returning your phone call

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

Sister, I'm in Babylon

Brother, I'm in Babylon

Grandma, I'm in Babylon

Please forgive me, forgive me

Sister, I'm in Babylon

Brother, I'm in Babylon

Grandma, I'm in Babylon

Please forgive me for not returning your phone call

Yeah, I'm 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

Sister, I'm in Babylon

Brother, I'm in Babylon

Grandma, I'm in Babylon

Please forgive me, forgive me

Sister, I'm in Babylon

Brother, I'm in Babylon

Grandma, I'm in Babylon

Please forgive me for not returning your phone call

Hey oh

Ona shetani ana Jeribu ku zukuma gizani

Sister, I'm in Babylon

Brother, I'm in Babylon

Grandma, I'm in Babylon

Please forgive me, forgive me

Sister, I'm in Babylon

Brother, I'm in Babylon

Grandma, I'm in Babylon

Please forgive me for not returning your phone call
