Dub Judah - Babylon Is A Trap + Dub

Dub Judah - Babylon Is A Trap + Dub

Due to misunderstandings
And misinterpretations
Due to confusion
Man a mix up and no fix up
Due to lack of education
Wicked a control the nation
Due to lack of employment
The youth them a turn militant
Due to lack of intelligence
Man a fight 'against him own Brother
Due to lack of investment
Bank start to trade in corruption
But due to lack of political strength
Enough man a get a death sentence
Right up from Ethiopia
Way down to even asana
And even in china
All even in Albania
All certain parts of Russia
All over the Diaspora

Babylon is a trap it's a trap
Babylon is a trap it's a trap
Babylon is a trap it's a trap
Vicious cycle a trap in a trap

Oh yes

If I could walk over England
The way man walk over Africa
I wouldn't do such things
For I'm not a racist
So you don't have to vex 'bout this
'cause rasta intelligent
And Rasta man diligent
We have a commitment
But due to lack of information
'bout the healing of the nation
Get rich quick man them a dominate
And certain youth life get terminate
'Coos after 1000 year
Satan reincarnate himself
Talking bout him a badman
talking bout him a wicked man
Innocent youth a follow suit
A kill them self fe wear crisp boot
And disconnected themselves from the truth
And disconnect from king David root
But due to lack of intelligence
'enough man a get a death sentence
Right up from Ethiopia
All over the Diaspora

before internet times these songs were what used to keep us informed

i think it must be 20 years ago

unbelievable - what rastafarians have been saying for years people are talking about now

[TopcatMuzik]

Memories of people going nuts banging on speaker boxes when this came out!

[TheAztecMonkey]

I had the good fortune to jam with Dub Judah a few times not too many years ago. The man has an amazing natural musical talent. I played guitar, as did a mutual friend of ours and Dub programmed the drums, played the bass and sang on top. He improvised lyrics and bass, each sounding great on their own but somehow both together sounded more than the sum of their parts. Easily the best jams I've had the opportunity to take part in. Legend.

true

[SimplePsiBin]

Pure brilliant ~ Babylon sure is a trap, I had this on vinyl years ago, magic to hear it again.

[MathVandenberghe]

@timewilltell7 well, 30 years or more to be precise!

babylon is still a trop, ever more than before!!!

[sEssTuga]

@jousimitsu that´s Zion not Babylon. Bless up

[Apocryphite]

@jousimitsu On the contrary, Babylon is symbolic for an oppressive economic or political system. It's from the bible, "whores of Babylon" and all that. Dub Judah warns you that while Babylon might seem tempting with worldly riches, it's a trap ;)

[jousimitsu]

I dont understand why he is saying ''its a trap'' i thought according to my knowledge babylon is the paradise to all ? anyone briefly explain this to me pl0x ? good song thumbs up

[icemon]

[MrUhapsen]

@timewilltell7 these days this is for me since I am 21 years old still the most acurate and free spreading of information the books that Ive read that had something not based on fear and illusion I can count it on with one hand fingers so...love and others never find peace and you know your right

[getmoneystayreal]
