Lyrics

v1 (Boogie)
youth them criticized
when them walkin down the street with a bullet proof vest and
still don?t realize
that they don?t make the cappers and they don?t make the lead
then they ostracized
when the violence and crime really comes to a head now
then they wonder why
the youth are in prison or end up dead
all i see is a lot of destruction
Babylon don?t never make no plan
all i see is a lot of confusion
politician never take no stand
we need the knowledge to get us out of Babylon
we need the Jah Jah love and protection
we need some Inatty we need some direction
got to build a better nation

if you find yourself in the middle of confusion
don?t look now, you are just caught in their illusion
i tell you the truth my people it don?t matter what the situation
when judgement comes down you don?t have to worry about the solution cause
Jah Jah people in the struggle got to carry on (come again)
if your down in the ghetto got to carry (come again)
all my brothers and my sisters got to carry on
Mr. Parker won?t you carry on

v2 (Mr.Parker)

Fed up
i keep my head up
looking to translate
this obtuse tension in a lyrical mandate
opposed in his sickness a villain will stand straight
denying that he regulates
keeping the land raped
here?s a question
maybe got a couple
why do all my people get deep up in they troubles
i?m not talking bout drugs guns or jail,
but the systematic extinction of black males
the haves all way, that we do it to our selves
when we gonna learn to start doing for ourselves
when we gonna learn that america?s hell
we gods wrapped up in material spells
take a look at yourself,
and Black History as well,
you pick up the pieces dropped and some fell
a look at yourself
Black History as well
you pick up the pieces dropped and some fell (come again)

chorus

all i see is a lot of destruction
Babylon don?t never make no plan
all i see is a lot of confusion
politician never take no stand
we need the knowledge to get us out of Babylon
we need we Jah Jah love and protection
we need some Inatty we need some direction
got to build a better nation

if you find yourself in the middle of confusion
don?t look now, you are just caught in their illusion
i tell you the truth my people it don?t matter what the situation
when judgement comes down you don?t have to worry about the solution cause
Jah Jah people in the struggle got to carry on (come again)
if your down in the ghetto got to carry (come again)
all my brothers and my sisters got to carry on
won?t you carry on

v3
killin a verse
i pull a mic
spill and disperse
your feelings get hurt
read a book puttin in work
knowledge is worth
and y?all punks sleep in the dirt
you leading the search of weakness
peeling the earth
needing the church
these lost souls screaming berserk
want a minister or rabbi
bible interp
sinning hypocrites think about keeping it first
conquerors don?t give a damn
taking your turf
all up on your front lawn
total domination
civilization
reached through assimilation
acculturation
brainwashed children of satin
we loosing the nation build by exploitation
on the backs of blacks
stacks and stacks
america, labor free baby
cotton stash
these words fly from my mouth leaving a rash
evil spits from the truth i?m bleeding the facts?like

all i see is a lot of destruction
Babylon don?t never make no plan now!
all i see is a lot of confusion
politician never take no stand now!
we need the knowledge to get us out of Babylon
we need we Jah Jah love and protection
we need some Inatty we need some direction
we got to we got to we got to?
oh yeah we got to carry heavy heavy load people
oh yeah we got to carry carry heavy load
yeah yeah
we go to keep it keep it going on
yeah? we all got to carry carry?
