Chant Down Babylon
Bob Marley · Confrontation
One more time, Come we go chant down
Babylon one more time
For them soft, yes them soft
Them soft, yes them soft
So come we go chant down Babylon one more time
Men see their dreams and aspirations
Crumble in front of their face
And all their wicked intentions to destroy the
Human race.
And how I know, and that's how I know
A Reggae Music, mek we chant down Babylon
With music, mek we chant down Babylon
This music, mek we chant down Babylon
This music, come we chant down Babylon
Come we go chant down Babylon one more time
(Repeat)
For them soft, yes them soft
Them soft, mi say them soft
So come we go chant down Babylon one more time
Music you're, music you're the key
Talk to who, please talk to me
Bring the voice of the Rastaman
Communicating to everyone
How I, How I know, How I, How I know
And that's how I know
A Reggae Music, chant down, Chant down Babylon
Chant down Babylon
Reggae Music, Chant down Babylon
Reggae Music, Chant down Babylon
Reggae Music, Chant down Babylon
Reggae Music
