Know this ones dedicated to the police dem you know Liar
Cause some of them is wicked and them good for nothing
And dem love pick upon people
And dem think der no right
And I man come to show you dat
Alright alright alright alright
So we kick it up because you
So we kick it up because you
So we kick it up because you
So we kick it up because you know we good to go
One for the money and three for the show
Warning for you and here's a warning for me
No bodder test the beast it coulder end up nasty
Stop you on the street without a reason
Search through your pockets under suspicion
Everybody in ya is a prime suspect
Gone are the days where they serve and protect
Learn babylon learn babylon learn
Play with fire you must get burn
[Repeat]
Danger you know that the fire is burning, seen
Danger you know that the fire is burning, gworn
[Repeat]
Babylon hear this
From I was a yoot police ah give me a hard time
They said I looking like a crook and you're destined for crime
Positive police me never met much of dem
An the one's down pill cause most the problems
Driving up and down dem ah check an dem ah stare
Look out natty dread locks you best beware
Why can't they be like the ones on the bill
Who never ever curse or they never ever kill
[Chorus]
[middle 8]
Danger Selector Enter
Danger you know that the fire is burning
Danger you know that the fire is burning
Gworn danger gworn danger

Whoop whoop das the sound of the police
Whoop whoop das the sound of the beast
Learn babylon learn babylon la la la
Learn babylon learn babylon la la la
Learn babylon learn babylon la la la
Learn babylon learn babylon la la la

    Fantastic track yet again from a brilliant band. Basically about the corruption of the 'system', Babylon.

    gonna have to disagree with morpheusvw, it's about the Tribulation. The Anti-Christ will make Babylon his capital and it will eventually be destroyed by God

    Im pretty sure its about the police. 'Gone are the days where they serve and protect' and he actully does say 'police' several times. Mentions crooks and crime, and The Bill. For you americans, The Bill is a cop show in England, and Skindred are Welsh, so they've probably seen it. 'Everybody's a prime suspect'. The list of quotes goes on. It may be about coruption of the system, like morpheusvw said, but the police are part of the system, no?

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
