Zaki Shabazz - I'm Waiting (Babylon) Lyrics

Click clack devil get back
Click clack devil get back
Click clack devil get back
Click clack devil get back

I'm waiting for the day that Babylon comes tumbling down
To the ground
I'm waiting for the day that Babylon comes tumbling down
To the ground

Dark skinned man
I know procedure
My great grandpops was from Dominica
Some sip rum
Some smoke the reefer
Some you tell the truth
And they won't believe you
Some pro black
Some pro police
Some didn't do the crime
But they won't release em'
Some just believe
Don't know the reason
I'm pro peace
While I load my piece and then
Cuz' every day
The devil tries
To break me down
Conquer my mind
But I'm a' shine
Just like the sun
The righteous
Already won

I'm waiting for the day that
Babylon comes tumbling down
To the ground
I'm waiting for the day that
Babylon comes tumbling down
To the ground

The Most High's
Resurrecting men
A day of reckoning
A specimen of beauty when
You're witnessing Him
Blessing men
Praying that things change
Praying can change things
Lights from the one sun
Grains from the same rain
Grow from the same Earth
Joy and the pain birth
Cleansed in the same sea
Strained from the same dirt
One mind one soul one God
One goal one life one death
One knife one hole
Whole
It's like the future
That we're living in
The present is the past
No exuberance and innocence
Moving into tenements
Shooting for the Benjamins
Lost in the system of the
Mugshots and fingerprints
Z been a thinker since
Board games sinking ships
Classified a genius kid
The globe at my fingertips
Main street or detours
Fight it can be yours
Rain down your blessings cuz'
I'm down on my knees Lord
Waiting

I'm waiting for the day that Babylon comes tumbling down To the ground
I'm waiting for the day that Babylon comes tumbling down To the ground

Cuz' every day
The devil tries
To break me down
Conquer my mind
But I'm a' shine
Just like the sun
The righteous
Already won
Cuz' every day
The devil tries
To break me down
Conquer my mind
But I'm a' shine
Just like the sun
The righteous
Already won

I'm waiting
Oh Lord have mercy on me
I'm waiting
Oh Lord have mercy on me
I'm waiting
Oh Lord have mercy on me
I'm waiting
Oh Lord have mercy on me
