lyrics

JAH! Jon Moon again
From South Africa to Germany, big connection!

How many times must we tell them to stop
And remind them of the values they forgot?
A me say Babylon you truly a go perish
Cah you nah teach the youths seh life you haffi cherish
How many times must we tell them to stop
Before they realize there system is a flop
Before they share what they reap off the crop
Before they start healing scars weh dem a cut?

They have taken our body and they try to take the mind
Ruled and surviving in a system so unkind
I know internal peace is very hard to find
But just keep in mind you're divine by design
And I see, see, no matter what they plead
They are keeping us from getting stronger
It's up to you and me to bring them on their knees
So Jah Jah children won't struggle no longer

How many times must we tell them to stop
And remind them of the values they forgot?
Ah me say Babylon you truly a go perish
Cah you nah teach the youths seh life you haffi cherish
How many times must we tell them to stop
Before they realize there system is a flop
Before they share what they reap off the crop
Before they start healing scars weh dem a cut?

How many times must we tell them to stop?
How many days must we work around the clock?
How many years in Babylon, singing these songs
Until they realize that they are wrong?

How many times must we tell them to stop
And remind them of the values they forgot?
Ah me say Babylon you truly a go perish
Cah you nah teach the youths seh life you haffi cherish
How many times must we tell them to stop
Before they realize there system is a flop
Before they share what they reap off the crop
Before they start healing scars weh dem a cut?

I wonder why so many people still believe you
Becah dem never reading more than just the preview
Them never question any statement or a tweet too
So they don't get they were mislead and think they need you
I wonder how you treat your mama, how she treat you
And if you ever went to school what dem a teach you
I wonder when the people voices a go reach through
And when you realize that they're the ones who feed you

How many times must we tell them to stop
And remind them of the values they forgot?
Ah me say Babylon you truly a go perish
Cah you nah teach the youths seh life you haffi cherish
How many times must we tell them to stop
Before they realize there system is a flop
Before they share what them reap off the crop
Before they start healing scars weh dem a cut?
