Babylon

Lyrics

I came into this world high as a bird
 From second hand cocaine powder
 I know it sounds absurd
 I never tooted but it's in my veins
 While the rest of the country bungies off bridges without no snap back
 And bitches, they say they need that
 To shake they fannies in the ass club
 They go the other route
 Turn each other out
 Burn each other out
 Where a bonified nigga like me
 Can't even get no back rub these days
 Ain't that bleak on they part
 But let me hold it down
 'Cause they shut you down
 When you speak from your heart
 Now that's hard
 While we ranting and raving 'bout gats
 Nigga, they made them gats
 They got some shit that'll blow out our backs
 From where they stay at
 Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun
 Ooh, though we're here someday we will be gone
 So I'm hoping (hoping), wishin' (wishing), praying
 To keep my faith in you (keep my faith in you), in you
 (Yo, yo, yo)
 I'm fascinated by the way your nipples peak at me through your blouse
 Freaky me, freaky you
 Can't help but be aroused
 'Scuse me Lord less for thinking
 But that's the way we was brought up
 Sneakin' to watch playboy at night
 We all must be caught up in worldly ways
 Chemistry between boys and girls
 Is a lot like when we went to the woods
 And laid with the squirrels
 Durin' P.E., we'd be
 Exploring each others privates
 Hunchin' with all our clothes on
 Until we felt excited then
 Oh now it's on from here on out
 Put your hands in the atmosphere
 If you know what I'm talkin' about
 Now if two hearts done walk on out
 And I see you on the next song
 They call it horny
 Because it's devilish
 Now see we dead wrong (ooh)
 Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun (oh)
 Ooh, though we're here someday we will be gone
 So I'm hopin', wishing, praying (praying)
 To keep my faith in you (to keep my faith in you), in you (oh)
 People don't know the stress I'm dealing with day to day (day)
 Speakin' about the feelings I'm possessing for Renee
 Moping around and wondering where she stay
 Saw her last that she lay
 Give it another day I say
 But the Lord he taketh away
 Now give it back Lord
 'Cause that's like backboards without the rims
 Me and my auntie was tight like southwest
 Before the pinks moved in
 Like the niggas that owned the liquor stores
 Crack cocaine, pimps and whores
 Living up on this earth
 Before a nigga like daddy was born
 But they making a scene
 That my music and crime are team
 But I'm speaking the truth not dreams (dreams)
 So what in the fuck they mean
 My lyrics ain't clean
 Ooh (yeah), I fear the battle's just begun (just begun)
 Ooh, though we're here someday we will be gone (so I keep)
 So I'm hopig, (and) wishing, (and) praying (praying)
 To keep my faith in you (my faith in you), in you
 Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun (just begun)
 Ooh (oh woah), though we're here
 Someday we will be gone (oh yeah, woo-hoo)
 So I'm hoping, wishing, praying
 To keep my faith in you (my faith in you), in you (ooh)
 Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun
 Ooh, though we're here someday we will be gone (I keep hoping)
 So I'm hoping, (wishing), wishing, praying
 To keep my faith in you
 My faith in you
 My faith in you
 My faith in you
 (Keep my faith) my faith in you
 My faith in you
 My faith in you
 My faith
