Reject of the System Babylon
Embrace Freedom: Defying Babylon's Systemic Chains
Lyrics
They said that they know what’s best for me,
Feeling pressured or controlled by others who claim to know what is best for the speaker.
They even try to rearrange me,
Experiencing attempts to change or manipulate the speaker.
They put a tie on and laugh at me,
Being mocked by those conforming to societal norms (symbolized by putting on a tie).
Then they said error and rejected me
Facing rejection and being labeled as an error by the system.
We are the rejects of the system Babylon
Identifying as part of a group labeled as rejects within the Babylon system (symbolic of societal structures).
They couldn’t put us in a systematic random round
Unable to fit into the expected order or routine set by the Babylon system.
Everyday we wake up, do what ever we want man
Choosing to live freely and independently, going against societal expectations.
Wanna fly to our dream, why don’t you just understand
Expressing a desire to pursue personal dreams and asking for understanding.
I’ve tried to get back in and make them happy
Attempting to conform and please the system in order to be accepted.
I’ve tried to act like them but looked creepy
Feeling awkward or strange when trying to imitate the accepted norms.
Then I heard the voice calling me
Hearing a calling that redirects the speaker from conformity.
Mighty Jah said ‘’ YOU BELONG TO ME ‘’
Receiving affirmation from a higher power (Mighty Jah) that the speaker belongs to something greater.
We are the rejects of the system Babylon
Reiterating the identity as rejects within the Babylon system.
They couldn’t put us in a systematic random round
Highlighting the inability of the system to assimilate or control the rejects.
Everyday we wake up do what ever we want man
Reaffirming the choice to live outside the established norms.
Wanna fly to our dream why don’t you just understand
Expressing the longing to pursue personal dreams and a plea for understanding.
Wake up in the morning WORK WORK WORK
Describing the repetitive and mundane nature of daily work in the system.
Then comes the midday WORK WORK WORK
Continuation of the theme of the daily grind and the monotony of work.
Here comes the next day WORK WORK WORK
Anticipating the same routine in the coming days.
This is what I mean get back to WORK !
Emphasizing the speaker's call to return to work as a critique of societal expectations.
We are the rejects of the system Babylon
Reiteration of the identity as rejects within the Babylon system.
They couldn’t put us in a systematic random round
Reinforcing the idea that the system cannot fit or control the rejects.
Everyday I wake up do what ever we want man
Personalizing the rejection, stating the individual's daily defiance of societal norms.
Wanna fly to our dream why don’t you just understand
Reiterating the desire to pursue personal dreams and a plea for understanding.
