Beyond Babylon
How do you think a little black child feel?
If see two white man handcuff his father.
And put him in a van?
You nuh see say that it wrong?
Like separate but equal wrong
And like aparthite was wrong
It's like the drop of an atomic bomb.
Innocent or perpetrator
In a New York City too much Babylon a hater
KKK a some dem forefather
But we have the heart of the black panthers.
See our mothers stir the pot if feed them Pinckney
Yet in a Brooklyn them no stop terrorize we
In a queens you know them no have no mercy
Bust off fifty shots is the ultimate brutality.
Omar Edwards New York finest
In a Harlem them no show no kindness.
Sack pacee Abner Louima?
Say if you was a dog them would a treat you kinder.
Them wrong. The new generation of the Ku Klux Klan.
Dominate the outer boroughs
Live on Long Island
Them pass Babylon.
Them wrong, no courtesy, professionalism or respect
Not in a south Jamaica, Bed Stuy or Bushwick.
Racial domination a injustice
Cause dem no, value we lives and couldn't care less
Blacks in a authority disproportionate
To the white Babylonians we're the suspect.
We want,
More lovers round the way.
Less haters.
We want,
More sisters in uniform. Step up brothers.
We want,
Equal opportunity, end racial adversity.
Rational impunity, and to run out own community.
Why they wanna rule us?
And why should they school us?
A long time them a put out we fire.
A long time we a settle and a simmer.
They so love to rule us.
And why should they school us?
A long time we a settle and a simmer.
Artical say if come up little higher.
How do you think a little black child feel?
To see some white man from beyond Babylon
Come in a the hood put hand cuff pan him father hand?
Him destin if go Rikers Island
by Maurice Godden aka Artical.
