Greedy Babylon Video (MV)

Now let Jah rise and all enemies be scattered
Like the wax that melteth before the fire
So melt them away almighty Jah
Because we living in a world where neglect is prevalent
With a lot of moral cavaliers and less so diligent
Me see more ties severing daily
None a mend
Oh thanks to this egotistic government
The messages they send via what they recommend
Is I and I a prove seh the fools devil sent
But oh what a sittin' when the youths start vent
Demise face all who fail to repent

Dutty Babylon you greedy
Robbing from the needy
Make we life so hard
Selassie know you not easy
Dutty Babylon you sleezy
Robbing from the needy
Make we life so hard
Selassie know you not easy

But I know that it won't be long
Before the children stand up strong
I know it won't be long
Before the children stand as one

A desperation on the face of the devastated youth
Wey a look a brighter day
But simply can't find the route
Government a contribute to the many destitute
'Cause the things they institute only please but a few
Offended by them style and unpleasant attritubes
Startled by the things they do to keep we pon a mute
Commenting on the things which they know not about
'Mount of times them disappoint the natty
Can't even count

Dutty Babylon you greedy
Robbing from the needy
Make we life so hard
Selassie know you not easy
Dutty Babylon you sleezy
Robbing from the needy
Make we life so hard
Selassie know you not easy

But I know that it won't be long
Before the children stand up strong
I know it won't be long
Before the children stand up strong

A coulda what the youths dem do
Mek them a treat we so bad
Why is it they want to take away
The little that we have
The rich a rob the poor
It hurt mi heart fi see that
'Cause everybody know there is enough
Fi all glad
The gluttonous and the covitous
Just a scheme and a plot
Fi confine the youths weh a try counteract
The folly them promote
And all the rubbish them a chat
But soon and very soon
There will be no holding back
Dutty Babylon you greedy
Robbing from the needy
Make we life so hard
Selassie know you not easy
Dutty Babylon you sleezy
Robbing from the needy
Make we life so hard
Selassie know you not easy
But I'm warning you it won't be long
Before the children stand up strong
I know it won't be long
Before the children stand as one (stand as one)

Ay ay, so keep it black, and no overreact
Of everything that they know we never act
Say keep on blindin' and don't overreact
Let me, let me see you up, you know we better act
God man a light, oh surely not
I ain't no bum, me need no fear
The soul fi frighten them a coulda never me
A Jesse Brown and ting and mi say

Dutty Babylon you greedy
Robbing from the needy
Make we life so hard
Selassie know you not easy
Dutty Babylon you sleezy
Robbing from the needy
Make we life so hard
Selassie know you not easy

So why is it you keep on treating the youth so cold?
Why is it you want more than you already own?
You better watch your back, you better look out now
We've been screaming aloud, we've been weepin' and waiting for far too long

Rastafari is the almighty
So I've been deep here, standing forever
