Steppin' Outta Babylon
Steppin' into Zion: Liberation Anthem by Christafari
Lyrics
Move y'all
Encouragement to move away
Move from here
Leave this place
And make we go over there
Transition to a different location
Yeah! You got to beware
Be cautious, be aware
Brrp, brrp, brrpy bup bup
Non-verbal sounds, possibly expressing excitement or urgency
Brrp, brrp, brrpy bup bup
-Brrp, brrp, brrp, bup bup bup
-Brrp, bup bup bup bup bup bup
-We steppin' outta Babylon one by one
Leaving Babylon, moving toward Zion to escape Babylon's negative influences
And steppin' into Zion
-We steppin' outta of Babylon one by one
-And steppin' into Zion
-'Cause Babylon it just wants to steal your soul
Babylon seeks to take your soul
And lure you with all of them bag of fools gold
Babylon tempts with false riches
But neva forget what the Revelator told
Remember the message from the book of Revelation
Yes, Zion is paved with streets of gold
Zion is depicted as a place of great value
So we steppin' outta Babylon one by one
Reiteration of leaving Babylon for the richness of Zion
And steppin' into Zion
-We steppin' outta of Babylon one by one
-And steppin' into Zion
-Step out of darkness into the light
Transitioning from darkness to light, from wrongdoing to doing right
We steppin' out of wickedness
-To go do the right
-Move y'all
Reinforcement to move away
I say we steppin' outta Babylon one by one
Continued emphasis on leaving Babylon for Zion
And steppin' into Zion
-We steppin' outta of Babylon one by one
-And steppin' into Zion
-Brrp, brrp, brrpy bup bup
Repetition of non-verbal sounds
Brrp, brrp, brrpy bup bup
-Brrp, brrp, brrp, bup bup bup
-Brrp, bup bup bup bup bup bup
-Satan he just wants to steal your soul
Warning about Satan's intentions versus Jesus's intentions for one's soul
To kill and destroy, yes that is his goal
-But Jesus he just wants to make you whole
-And give you a life so abundantly full
-So we steppin' outta Babylon one by one
Reiteration of leaving Babylon for the abundance found in Zion through Jesus
And steppin' into Zion
-We steppin' outta of Babylon one by one
-And steppin' into Zion
-Babylon is burning
Imagery of Babylon's downfall and the call of Zion with Jesus's impending arrival
And satan is falling
-But Jesus is coming
-And Zion is calling
-Move ya'll
Encouragement to move away once again
We steppin' outta Babylon one by one
Continued emphasis on leaving Babylon for Zion's salvation
And steppin' into Zion
-We steppin' outta of Babylon one by one
-And steppin' into Zion
-Satan he just wants to kill and destroy
Contrast between Satan's destructive intentions and Yeshua's (Jesus's) redemptive ones
To rob you from all of your peace and joy
-But Yeshua He just wants to save your soul
-To wash you clean and make you whole
-Outta darkness into the light
Emphasis on moving from darkness to light and doing what's right
So step out of wickedness
-And do the right
-Move y'all
Encouragement to move
And so we steppin' outta Babylon one by one
Continued urging to leave Babylon for the promise of Zion
And steppin' into Zion - eh
-We steppin' outta of Babylon one by one
-And steppin' into Zion
-Brrp, brrp, brrpy bup bup
Repetition of non-verbal sounds
Brrp, brrp, brrpy bup bup
-Brrp, brrp, brrp, bup bup bup
-Brrp, bup bup bup bup bup bup
-Once Jah (God's) love is flowing through your veins
Once God's love transforms, life will never be the same
Then I know you'll never be the same - ooh yeah
-Once Jah love is flowing through your veins - alright
-Then I know you'll never be the same
-We steppin' outta Babylon one by one
Repeated insistence on leaving Babylon for the sanctuary of Zion
And steppin' into Zion
-We steppin' outta of Babylon one by one
-And steppin' into Zion
-So me say steppin' outta Babylon one by one
Final repetition of leaving Babylon
