babylon - joey bada$ lyrics

[intro: joey bada$$]
yo yo
badmon representing
yo yo
heyaa
heyaa

[hook: joey bada$$]
they say you never know what you got
’till it’s all up and away
and it’s all lonely at the top
sometimes you wanna throw it away
but lately i’ve been talking to god
he told me heaven is a way better place
so i’m taking everything that i’ve got
and i’m running away, i’m running away
i just can’t cope with the pain
you just won’t understand
running away (away from here)
i’m running away
i just can’t cope with the pain
you just won’t understand
running away (away from here)

[verse 1: joey bada$$]
gone like the wind, i can’t seem to win
i know the end is near, but i just don’t know when
turn on to cnn, look at what i see again
it’s another black man died at the white hand of justice
to tell the truth, man, i’m f-cking disgusted
i fear for the lives for my sisters, my brothers
less fortunate than i, let’s formulate a plan
i’m sick of holding grudges, i’m loading in all my slugs and
aiming it at you judges, f-ck the cops
f-ck the system and the government, you f-ckers not
protecting and serving
you more like damaging and hurting
and letting off shots ’till you motherf-ckers certain
he ain’t breathing, you made it clear
f-ck your breath, n-gg-, don’t even deserve air
don’t even deserve sh-t, don’t even deserve nothing
if black lives really mattered you n-gg-s would do something
instead we mean nothing, in fact we being hunted
they don’t want us in abundance
they know there’s strength in the numbers
that’s why they gave you off
the time is coming, no discussion
if you ain’t got a gun then you better start runnin’

[bridge: chronixx]
run to the rock of my salvation
run to the stone that the builder rejected
i run to [?]
tell me america is the land of the free, that a lie
because n-body’s free, boy
ya ’til we leave babylon and go to ethiopia
and if you don’t believe we can achieve that
then you’re just another idiot or another

[verse 2: joey bada$$]
motherf-cker, it’s the j-o-z-i-f b-a-d-m-o-n
come on, bring them ends on in
i’m on the upside now, you can turn ’em m’s upside down
we bout to win, there’s an l for the other side of him
most grace that you lost, i invite ’em in
to my soul, don’t you feel the vibes when i’m channeling
the innermost of my spirit been engulfed with plenty gold
cause most of them labels don’t pay me so
[?]
who you think investing in penitentiaries though?
same owners as them labels
same owners of your cables
spoon feeding you fables trying to keep your mind stable
your eyes blind, and your skin’s hazel
the truth is under your nasal
but even the air’s all f-cked up
how we supposed to see stars? chemicals trails above us
plus bunch of other sh-t that’s undiscovered
detached from your roots since we set sail, my brothers
that’s word to motherland
sold us on stolen land
visions from brother men
you seen us all holding hands
fifty years later still see my brothers choked to death
r.i.p. to eric garner, only right i show respect
nowadays they hanging us by a different tree
branches of the government, i can name all three
judicial, legislative and executive
lock your pops away your moms and next of kin
it’s all consecutive
i’m just trying to break the cycle
i wonder if i’ll do it all before they take my life, yo
crucify my image, the lord is my witness
seen them heaven’s gates closed
i’mma break all them hinges for my n-gg-s
yes, i’mma break all the hinges for my n-gg-s
yes, i’mma break all the hinges for my n-gg-s
yes, i’mma break all

[hook: joey bada$$]
they say you never know what you got
’till it’s all up and away
and it’s all lonely at the top
sometimes you wanna throw it away
but lately i’ve been talking to god
he told me heaven is a way better place
so i’m taking everything that i’ve got
and i’m running away, i’m running away
i just can’t cope with the pain
you just don’t understand
running away (away from here)
i’m running away
i just can’t cope with the pain
you just don’t understand
running away (away from here)

[chronixx]
as fast as i can to mount zion
i’m running away (i’m running away)
i’m running away (i’m running away)
i’m running away (i’m running away)
i’m running away (i’m running away)
i’m running away (i’m running away)
i’m running away (i’m running away)
running away (i’m running away)
away, running away

[outro: joey bada$$]
you better start running, running
babylon boy them a coming, coming yeah
you better start running, running
babylon coming [?]
just because i walk this way [?]
