[Intro: Beenie Man]
Woah, na, na, na, na! Woi!
(Gun crime)
Devonte on the line
Woah, now! Cha! Woi!
Ya hear me?
Kick it up singer!
[Chorus: Devonte]
Babylon no waan' mi use mi imagination
So mi take a look around at the situation
If the journey so bloody check the destination
The world is in trouble not only Jamaican
Babylon no waan' mi use mi imagination
So mi take a look around at the situation
If the journey so bloody check the destination
The world is in trouble not only Jamaican
[Verse 1: Beenie Man]
Well, your best friend is your enemy for a price
It might sound harsh but it's the facts of life
Similar ting wit' Marcus and Jesus Christ
People you help, sell you out fih peas and ricе!
Now every man a bawl through the firе get hot
Dem nuh get no speedy response, think God turn him back
Love, remember me tell yuh say one hand cyaan clap
You plant violent seed, you a go reap bloody crop
Scientists believe in evolution
Christians say tings ah reveal a must the revelation
And most a weep for di next generation
'cause we nuh set no plan, and make no preparation
[Chorus: Devonte]
Babylon no waan' mi use mi imagination
So mi take a look around at the situation
If the journey so bloody check the destination
The world is in trouble not only Jamaican
Babylon no waan' mi use mi imagination
So mi take a look around at the situation
If the journey so bloody check the destination
The world is in trouble not only Jamaican
[Verse 2: Beenie Man]
Jah give up him only son to make a better place
But instead we show disrespect inna di Father face
America di world, big, bad and great
Yeah, still be lording sure dem say di world no safe
Dis ting, a di only ting weh get me mad
Politician make we vote but dem just waan' go rob
Go in with empty pocket, leave with full money bag
Drink champagne, and laugh, and buss and bruk
[Bridge]
Don't be surprised if you see I man crying
(Crying)
Smiling outside, but inside I'm dying
{Dying}
Nuh dead poor, so mi prefer die trying
(Trying)
All di con dem a sell, this Rasta is not buying
(Buying)
[Chorus: Devonte]
Babylon no waan' mi use mi imagination
So mi take a look around at the situation
If the journey so bloody check the destination
The world is in trouble not only Jamaican
Babylon no waan' mi use mi imagination
So mi take a look around at the situation
If the journey so bloody check the destination
The world is in trouble not only Jamaican
[Verse 3: Beenie Man]
Every young one want to die as a hero
No waan' go through door;
Dem a climb through window
Unno Robin Hood, or Rambo, or Commando?
Tings chaka, chaka - we cyaan mek it done so
Fi ketch AIDS is just like ketching flu
But you want a better world;
Mi know dat no true
Di world nuh do nothing, is me and you
So if they heard the street bad
What you expect me to do?
[Chorus: Devonte]
Babylon no waan' mi use mi imagination
So mi take a look around at the situation
If the journey so bloody check the destination
The world is in trouble not only Jamaican
Babylon no waan' mi use mi imagination
So mi take a look around at the situation
If the journey so bloody check the destination
The world is in trouble not only Jamaican
