One step forward, two steps backward
Down inna Babylon
One step forward, two steps backward
Down inna Babylon
One day you are dreadlocks (well dread)
Next day you are ballin (cliche')
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step out of Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step out of Babylon
Are you a commercialized
Grabbing at the cash-backs?
This is a time of decision
Tell me, what is your plan? yeah
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step out of Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step out of Babylon
Straight is the road that leads to destruction
Ooh yeah
The road to righteousness is narrow
Ah let me tell you say
Indictive feelings enter feeling
The truth is a fact, tell me
