Babylon’s Book of Numbers

Dem a count di numbers shift di scene Watch how Babylon move so clean Who got access who got keys? Mi see dem shuffle like autumn leaves Dem a count di numbers shift di scene Watch how Babylon move so clean Who got access who got keys? Mi see dem shuffle like autumn leaves Dem a talk 'bout figures dem a talk 'bout trust Eyes pon di system deh pon di crust Big man a sign off di gate wide open Who really run di vault dem hopin'? Audit come light shine 'pon di code Digits tell tale when di secrets unload Dem a watch di treasury like hawk 'pon tree But who control di air dem a let we breathe? Oh what a tangled thread Paper trail or just a dread? One side cry "fraud!" di next one fight While di people caught in endless night Dem a count di numbers shift di scene Watch how Babylon move so clean Who got access who got keys? Mi see dem shuffle like autumn leaves Treasury full but still dem a tax Every likkle dollar get caught in di tracks Money move faster than wind 'pon sea But who deh behind di lock an' di key? One man build next man tear Politics a smoke cloud float in di air Dog-eat-dog while dem draw di line Di system design fi rob yuh blind Oh dem shuffle dem shuffle! Dem hustle dem hustle! Paper trail a burn but di ink still bubble! System pon fire mi hear di trouble! Audit in di dark truth still humble Oh watchdogs bark but who dem serve? Is it fi di people or di ones dem preserve? Some a count coins some a count sins While di real struggle live deep within Who got access? Who got keys? Tell me who write Babylon's policies? Money flip like wave 'pon shore Still di poor man cyaan get no more Dem a count di numbers shift di scene Watch how Babylon move so clean Who got access who got keys? Mi see dem shuffle like autumn leaves Dem a count di numbers shift di scene Watch how Babylon move so clean Who got access who got keys?
