lyrics

(Verse 1)
Hey, well, fire rained down 'pon the Babylon sky,
Walking to the liquor store right at the same time,
Working with a hoodie and a bullet proof vest,
Working for his money but he aint got none left,
So hey, hey, you gotta get paid, there's a lot of money out thats gotta get made,
So fall alongside what your brothers will say,
Work it, work it, work it 'til you're making your way.
(Chorus)
Babylon's martyr's song, Babylon's martyr's song,
Won't you sing along?
Babylon's martyr's song, Babylon's martyr's song,
Won't you sing along?
So hey, hey, you wanna get paid,
But you wanna do it without catching no case.

(Verse 2)
Hey, well, strolling through the front door, hear the door chime,
Acting like you need another case of Bud Light,
Acting like you're going right, but then you turn left,
Pulling out the burner, point it to the clerk's chest,
Say hey, hey, the money I’ll take, Give it to me in a second for your life’s sake.
So call a cop, tell 'em all that they got dates,
With a .40 caliber behind the Man's face.
(Chorus)
So hey, hey, he's jogging away, you won't ever see him no more, never again.
(Verse 3)
Rollin through the 'hood was a rookie named Heinz,
Fresh academy cadet, Babylon prime,
Saw the robbery occur, watched it progress,
Shot the robber down, shot him in the boy's head,
Said "hey, hey, another youth dead, I don’t care if his family ain't got no bread."
So go and weep for the lad at the boy's wake,
Just another fallen one who can't catch a break.
(Chorus)
So hey, hey, the youth gone to waste, add another to the ones that dug his own grave.
