Canibal Lyrics

[Hook]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh oh, oh, oh

[Chorus 1]
Babylon shall fall
Babylon shall fall
Babylon shall fall
Babylon shall fall

[Verse 1]
Babylon want to hold I
Babylon want to control I
I-man no know Babylon
I-man a Dreadlocks Rasta
I-a see higher see
You no know Rasta victory
Look behind the dreadlocks
Moving along with my brethren
Under the fustic tree, me say me free

[Chorus 2]
Babylon a cannibal
Babylon a cannibal
Babylon a cannibal
Babylon a cannibal
[Hook]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh oh, oh, oh

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 1 Repeated]
Babylon want to hold I
Babylon want to control I
I-man no know Babylon
I-man a Dreadlocks Rasta
I-a see higher see
You no know Rasta victory
Look behind the dreadlocks
Moving along with my brethren
Under the fustic tree, me say me free

[Chorus 2]
