Viewing lyrics for Babylon And I by MACHETE.

Verse 1
If you were stuck in my vision, you would see the crowd there, on a stage real dreaming, how the time was passing.
Incredible, the feeling is only temporary, then the lights just dim.
Time's pass, I ain't the same. Wonderland I may never understand.
They got me grabbin' my pen and grippin' like a holy pistol, scrollin' about to murder the instrumental!
Fill it! The guns go up! No shaken arms or legs, watch how I raise the bar.
Like automatic madness which manic intentions the drag out my jaw and adams drags out like a mad man.
Who goes hard til the psychward comes, eyes peeled to the page Kush rips my lungs. Til the psychward comes, once that bullet's aimin' you can't dodge that gun.

Verse 2.

In a simple second, I thought I almost lost my life again, I'm hearing sounds think I'm in heaven, better guess again.
That place in the mental the music, gotta let it in. You can try and end my life, but you wouldn't win.
After all man is man, yeah we're flesh and blood, but my music's indefinite, so I'm placing a curse.
Send you to another world like a ufo, my wrath will leave your mind bent. Your thoughts slow.
Embed myself in your dome, tell you where to go.
How to think, how to live, like it's mind control.
Then tell you what to write and how to write the story told.
Make you take your own soul, with a written poem.

(Chorus)

Machete! Machete! I really shouldn't have dissed you, but I'm ready I'm ready, yeah and did I mention?

It's raining its storming its hailing its pourin I got to. Repent for my ways, I'm sorry I'm sorry!

Til the psychward comes, eyes peeled to the page the Kush rips my lungs. Til the psychward comes, once that bullet's aimin' you can't dodge that gun.

(Verse 2 reggae breakdown)

In Babylon, another counter-part of the mind is unlocked and then its on,

Watch me Watch me Watch me walk, babylon. Hey. Watch me watch me walk. Watch me Babylon , hey.

Whether I said it in the summer when it's time to roast, or if I said it in the winter when the frost coats.
When them cars hit the road it's Cali for the coast. Hear the bangers in the whips, with them reggae quotes.
Leaders who speak, cities with heat, blood that'll leak. Reggae with rhythm in HipHop's precision. I got the recipe granted, you locked but I stole the key, this time it's Babylon and I we got chemistry.

Verse 3

I needed this opportunity I been fiending for it, to have the chance to spread my love through musical stories.
Yeah I've heard of a place of mistakes and glories, I'm on my own now world, these buses I'm on em'.
Countless days in the city, rehearsals and money, that I don't have to proceed with no cash in my wallet.
I blow it so bad like trappin' both hands in a storage. lockin the door, your scoreboards already disowned you.
A babylonian world, you can laugh at my big words, your mind is small plus you lack the learning curve. But that's expected from this place I didn't fail to mention, before I dropped out of school I chose to pay attention.

So I can hold on to these words and paint a picture for you, cause I been flat on my face, til I done left my home but.
Babylon, I never failed to just let you know, day to day, year to year, your forever told.
