[Intro: Keznamdi]
Growin' out di dreadlocks, you know?
What else?
Clean heart
For your love
[Chorus: Keznamdi]
It's never enough, it's never enough
In the walls of Babylon
It's never enough, it's never enough
In these eyes of Babylon
'Cause everyone got wants and needs
In Babylon, you cyaan find peace
Just silver an gold weh dem seekin'
In di end, it will all lose its meanin'
[Verse 1: Rapsody]
Yo, I'm like Rastas and Nas
I know "One Love," I know God
I know that karma I jog
My memories flew abroad
Out in Jamaica, tryna dance away my sorrow and sobs
My ass on somеbody's son
I'm in the Sun, gettin' dark
I like thе brown on my skin
Look like Malik Robert art
I can throw stars in the ceilin' but can't make space in your heart
I know the part I played; I live with it all
I regret, I disconnect—yeah, that's mostly my fault
It's my fault—yeah, uh
Please forgive my flaws
Overcompensatin' wit' compensation I've lost
Love can't be bought
I can't buy you back
Never bein' by you again—I'm not content wit' that loss
[Chorus: Keznamdi]
It's never enough, it's never enough
In the walls of Babylon
It's never enough, it's never enough
In these eyes of Babylon
'Cause everyone got wants and needs
In Babylon, you cyaan find peace
Just silver an gold weh dem seekin'
In di end, it will all lose its meanin'
[Verse 2: Rapsody]
Yeah, money's a number
Numbers never end
So happiness and satisfaction through money, I'll never win
I lost someone Grammy weekend
My weak end is feelin' validated by weepin' in a hunnid thousand Benz
Preachers pass collection plates for rims
Unrighteous teachers reachin'
Blunted on reality like Wiz Khalifa
Like a nappy head through all my logic, theories, and my thesis
Add pussy to it so it reach you
Ignorance is bliss; the fantasy don't exist
Never fit in their illusion—I was always the glitch
My soul rich, I'm so rich—my purpose ain't for purchase
Love me or love me not, I know what worth is—me
[Chorus: Keznamdi]
It's never enough, it's never enough
In the walls of Babylon
It's never enough, it's never enough
In these eyes of Babylon
'Cause everyone got wants and needs
In Babylon, you cyaan find peace
Just silver an gold weh dem seekin'
In di end, it will all lose its meanin'
[Verse 3: Keznamdi]
When yuh hear wi mention Babylon, it's not a place
It's the system that oppress yuh pon a daily basis
It's in yuh mind and in those quiet spaces
The revolution is in the household with those minor choices
So before yuh blame those government parties
Or the preachers or those poor likkle artists
Look within yuh self and purify where yuh heart is
Go a river an guh wash off yuh crosses
Protek all yuh thoughts—that's how they control the masses
Run, guh tell di uptown posse
Wi come fi nice up di area, tell di New York posse
And if a truths an rights, wi a guh rise an buss it
Wi come fi nice up di area
We bawl out—woah
A di Skyline posse
Wi come fi spread righteousness 'round di world, now yuh see
Wi come fi unite di culture wit' di one Rapsody
An fi uplift di yute dem a wi priority
An wi use di microphone fi sing fi humanity
Wi come fi nice up di area
Natty dreadlocks haffi nice up di area
