[Verse 1]

25 years ago way before I was the man with the clout

I was in Pampers, hand in the mouth

Way before fans, way before the groupies

Way before the fam had their hands stickin' out

Momma had the four-door Ford no man on board

Four kids that will trample the house

Weight on the back like camel and mouse

No food on the plate so we Hannibal now

Way before they would play me and they wouldn't pay for a CD

I was handin' 'em out

Waitin' on my brain while I wish them well

Still wasn't seein' nothing but sand in a drought

But now that the famine is gone

Haters wanna see me standin' alone

Know when I will hit that wall, make the insides fall

See the empire fall, they been playin' at it wrong

[Chorus]

This feel like Babylon (Babylon)

Royalty in my city

Yeah, I might throw the camera on (Babylon)

'Cause what I need in my life I can't get a handle on

(Get a handle on)

And everybody wanna talk

I just let them babble on (babble on, babble on)

Uh, this feel like Babylon (Babylon)

Royalty in my city

I might throw the camera on (Babylon)

'Cause what I need in my life I can't get a handle on

(Get a handle on)

And everybody wanna talk

I just let them babble on (babble on, babble on)

[Verse 2]

See me, I'm back for the kill

This independent track is a trap for real

Everybody's scratchin' to catch a deal

Me? I just want to rap, lay back, and chill

With a honey on my lap, got a twenty in the sack

For the homies, and relax when they pass the bill

Crew mad large in a new Jaguar

Bend a corner so hard gonna scratch the wheel

Uh, worst cosigns had to hand 'em out

I wonder if they ever gave a damn or not

I'm a King Arthur and I demand a slot

That's why they always see me on a Camelot

That's why they always see me on the 'Gram a lot

And mad posers I rode like Lancelot

You're mad bogus, I'm focused, I pencil out

To reach goals, take the mental route

[Chorus]

This feel like Babylon (Babylon)

Royalty in my city

Yeah, I might throw the camera on (Babylon)

'Cause what I need in my life I can't get a handle on

(Get a handle on)

And everybody wanna talk

I just let them babble on (babble on, babble on)

Uh, this feel like Babylon (Babylon)

Royalty in my city

I might throw the camera on (Babylon)

'Cause what I need in my life I can't get a handle on

(Get a handle on)

And everybody wanna talk

I just let them babble on (babble on, babble on)

[Bridge]

Oh, so Babylon

Started at the bottom floor 'fore I had it all

I was huggin' on myself with the padded walls

Fast forward, matador for the cattle wars

No bull, I blew up like avatars

Now mid, everybody want to tag along

Whenever slip, gotta grip like handlebars

Whenever flip, add a hit to my catalog

Oh, so Babylon

Started at the bottom floor 'fore I had it all

I was huggin' on myself with the padded walls

Fast forward, matador for the cattle wars

No bull, I blew up like avatars

Now mid, everybody want to tag along

Whenever slip, gotta grip like handlebars

Whenever flip, add a hit to my catalog

[Chorus]

This feel like Babylon (Babylon)

Royalty in my city

Yeah, I might throw the camera on (Babylon)

'Cause what I need in my life I can't get a handle on

(Get a handle on)

And everybody wanna talk

I just let them babble on (babble on, babble on)

Uh, this feel like Babylon (Babylon)

Royalty in my city

I might throw the camera on (Babylon)

'Cause what I need in my life I can't get a handle on

(Get a handle on)

And everybody wanna talk

I just let them babble on (babble on, babble on)
