Born In Babylon Lyrics
I came from nothing but a nothing like nothing
Nothing - like nobody thought i was something
Nothing - like called every name in the book
But for every second guess I never gave a second look
I tell myself "Don't let it get to me!"
Cause if the best they've got its not impressing me
Then there's no reason they should get the best of me
Why they're aiming at my words - that's the rest of me
Chorus
So how can I stop all these
Critics from their talking?
The more I do, the more they say
But there's no way I'm stopping
So they just keep on talking
Who do you think I think I am?
I got the feeling that there is more like me
Born in Babylon but you just got to be free
Shackles on your feet that you and me can't see
But you can feel them and they heavy
So you need that key!
And so you're looking at your hands sayin':
"Man, if a distance is to me I could be mine."
But then you hear a voice comin' from behind:
"Don't even think about steppin' out of line!"
Chorus
So how can i stop all these
Critics from their talking?

The more I do, the more they say
But there's no way I'm stopping
So they just keep on talking
Who do you think I think I am?
Who do you think I am?
My friends are deep and they're all I've got
They stand up behind me if you like it or not
And I'm telling you that the fire's hot
Can you see that smoking?
Did you hear that shot?
Cause this is the war that in the middle I am
So judge me now with your pen in hand
Cause I'm too busy to judge another man
Trying to write a blueprint for all the world to understand
