  • Come we go bun down Babylon one more time
    (Come we go bun down Babylon one more time)
    Come we go chant down Babylon one more time
    (Come we go chant down Babylon)
    For dem soft, yes, dem soft (ah-yoy)
    Dem soft, yes, dem soft (ah-yoy)
    So come we go chant down Babylon one more time
    (Come we go chant down Babylon)

    Men see their dreams and aspiration
    A crumble in front of their face
    And all of their wicked intention
    To destroy the human race

    How I know (how don't you know?)
    And how I know
    And that's how I know
    A reggae music, but we chant down Babylon
    Di music, come fi chant down Babylon
    This music, come fi chant down Babylon
    This music, come fi chant down Babylon

    Come we go chant down Babylon one more time
    (Come we go chant down Babylon one more time)
    Come we go chant down Babylon one more time
    (Come we go chant down Babylon)

    For dem soft, yes, dem soft (ah-yoy)
    Dem soft, me, me say, dem soft (ah-yoy)
    So come we go chant down Babylon one more time
    (Come we go chant down Babylon)

    Me say, music you're, music you're the key
    Talk to who? Ooh, please talk to me
    Bring the voice of, of the Rastaman
    Communicating to, 'cating to everyone

    How I (know), how I know
    how I (know), how I know
    And that's how I know
    A reggae music, chant down, chant down (make we chant down Babylon)
    chant down Babylon, chant down Babylon (make we chant down Babylon)
    chant down Babylon, chant down Babylon (make we chant down Babylon)

    Reggae music, chant down Babylon (make we chant down Babylon)
    Reggae music, chant down Babylon (make we chant down Babylon)
    Reggae music, chant down Babylon (make we chant down Babylon)
    Reggae music (make we chant down Babylon) Writer/s: Bob Marley
