400 years
You laughed and made us
Drink our tears
Now it appears
Something's not that clear
Cuz in the mirror
I don't see me
Just an image you made
Causes me pain
You cause me pain
I know what you've done
I'm onto you now I know
Pull up with the shit
Pull up with the shit
They don't wanna see this Huey Newton shit
Fully loaded noggin and a loaded clip
They tryna hit a lick
I'm about to trip
They stole our legacy and gave us willie Lynch
Now Willie bout to really pull up with the shit
Aiming at an asshole
I see Blood on a flagpole
If I collect 400 then I pass go
Run my reparations
I'll be fragile
I see they killing innocent
Niggas on the news
And all my people mad
What y'all tryna do
But they don't give a f*ck
That ain't nothing new
So what y'all tryna do
What y'all tryna do
Riding we're looting
We're proving something
Police they shoot like we doing something
This is a race and we can't stop running
If I burn down Gucci
Don't tell me nothing
"Ours is not to teach the people to be conscious
But make them conscious of their unconscious behavior"
"Because unconsciously
Instinctively they seek freedom,
For we must do is make them conscious"
Cuz when its over
It's really over
Build this thang up
And we'll burn this thang down
We built this bitch up
And we'll burn this bitch down
Build this thang up
And we'll burn this thang down
We built this bitch up
And will burn this bitch down
Babylon
Goodbye Babylon
Don't tell me sit down Babylon
Goodbye Babylon
Most disrespected is the Black woman
Most feared man is the Black man Babylon
You know where I stand Babylon
It's been 400 years
You will get your judgement
So long
Goodbye Babylon
Goodbye Babylon
Goodbye Babylon
Goodbye Babylon
