5.0 / 5
Song updated, review now!
verse 1
Yah, I grew from Babylon soil, born to consume and destroy
I know that cash is king, I breathe cocaine, bleed oil
Made to rise above all, success' my ultimate goal
I'm a do what it takes and bring you down if a fall
Handle my business with war, attack the poor while praising the lord
Raised to be raw, but act polite for the show
Let the cameras roll, I got no doubts or regrets
Live off thousands of deaths, keep no promises, only threats
You politicians preaching your vision of the truth
Never cared about us and our point of view
'Cause your campaigns only promote the killing fields
Children cry but you don't hear, people die but you can't see 'cause
War is big biz, the big guys get rich
Livin' off the poor and gain money on sick kids
It's a show for those who can afford the price
But turn that shit off, I won't let you gamble with my life

chorus
We don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows
(Cold wind blowing)
We don't need your politicians to know which way to go
(We don't need y'all)
We don't need your teachers, leave the kids alone
(Ey, leave 'em alone)
And we don't need the poisonous fruits of Babylon
(Your kingdom calling)

bridge
Babylon, always recruiting and plotting
Babylon, but yo, my crew been watching
Babylon, and if your roots forgotten
Babylon, then your fruits will rotten

verse 2
Ya, I drink away the pain, on top of the food chain
The fast life, fast lane, you people is loose change
Piss champagne, not really hungry but I'm eating
Grow fat for no reason and though it's hot, my hearts freezing
Ey yo, look into the mirror, do you see what I see?
I'm a reflection of your actions and will always be
The result of your plans, the breed of your scams
And I'll forever be a prisoner of your land
Hey, I'm the good guy, modern man, enlightened, I understand
You don't seem to get it, why should I care about a foreign land?
You with me or against me, fight for the love of money
Join me in this good life, sell your soul for blood money

chorus
We don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows
(Can't stop the tidal wave)
We don't need your politicians to know which way to go
(Yah, you mislead us)
We don't need your teachers, leave the kids alone
(Full time, we wanna learn)
And we don't need the poisonous fruits of Babylon
(Check it, Promoe)

verse 3
I don't vote, I cut a politician's throat
Hang him with the same rope as I do the pope ('cause)
I see the hope in the eyes of our children
I won't go for your bribes of your millions
'Cause I see no future in the lies and the killings
We all saw what happened to financial buildings
It's all for a reason, whether right or wrong
Somebody felt their people had been dying to long
Revenge, retaliation and stupid pride
On both sides, so we keep losing lives
Worldwide, I sing this one for our mothers
Take a sec to recollect just how much they love us

chorus
We don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows
(I know I said it before)
We don't need your politicians to know which way to go
(And I'ma say it again)
We don't need your teachers, leave the kids alone
(Leave the kids alone)
And we don't need the poisonous fruits of Babylon
(Come on, yo)

outro
Babylon, recruiting and plotting
Babylon, but yo, my Troop been watching
Babylon, and if your roots are forgotten
Babylon, then your fruits will rotten
Babylon, recruiting and plotting
Babylon, but my crew been watching
Babylon, if your roots are forgotten
Babylon, then your fruits will rotten
