You will be a rich man You will be a king You will cultivate more power And soon have everything People will kneel before you For what you hold in your hand You will receive much more Than anyone can stand Those crops you grow in the soil Will make your pockets fat The sweet sweet smell of smoke will make Many people glad You look all around you And soon you will be high
When you live in Babylon The trials of life are many When you live in Babylon They smile if you have plenty You can never get away from the strife you feel today
Dont you know you must believe Keeping Jah there up your sleeve
When you live in Babylon
Its hard for folks to realize What it is that you go through
Cause when you are a child of Jah
They all look down on you You live the life of sacrifice Each time you plant a seed
That's when you feel the coldness there In hearts so full of greed A soul possessed of righteousness From all atrocity
When you live in Babylon The trials of life are many When you live in Babylon They smile if you have plenty You can never get away from the strife you feel today Dont you know you must believe Keeping Jah there up your sleeve
The first time that I saw you You made a brighter day You took the time to listen I knew you'd come my way
Now's the time to let you know
The meaning of this song
So take my hand and hold me now
We've come so far along
