MYSTERY BABYLON (118)

"MYSTERY BABYLON (118)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, May 17 2008 - The reason why Babylon is a mystery is kind of obvious: she has to be hidden for even those that work for her to not really know just what it is they are working for.

It doesn't mean, though, that the mystery cannot be known and the reason for that is that the Most High JAH reveals this mystery to those who have, as the saying goes, "eyes to see".

Eyes to see, given by the One Who created us in the first place.

Eyes to see, that the Creator of the Universe can never be the White (man) Jesus of Babylon.

Eyes to see, that everything in world-history is connected with this battle between good and evil that takes place in almost all levels and dimensions of Creation.

More Tomorrow...

One Love, Give Thanks,
Messian Dread (Dubroom Webmaster)

DUBROOM MP3 RELEASE



TRACK DESCRIPTION

This is the 13th track of the Messian Dread album "Showcase".

We're moving towards more militant tracks now, with some serious steppers rhythms and some hard, hard chanting.

Yes, this one really is chanting down Babylon. First, there's the singing part. Singing about being tired of Babylon and what she does.

But then some really hard toasting begins. Chanting down Babylon comes with a willingness to say it like it is, and so don't expect no diplomacy.

Definitely not for the weakheart, who don't want I and I to speak the truth.

It's just like JAH speaks in the Bible about people who "drink their own piss" (CHECK FOR YOURSELF), the lyrics in this track speak about Babylon as a Shitstem.



LYRICS


(singing:)

I'm so tired on Babylon
I'm so tired of the wicked one
Cause she's moving on and on
Her injustice can't go on

All this killing and worries
Tribal war ain't no funny
Still she laughs, cause she's drunk
and give more birth to more junk

Her mystery of iniquity
Making prisons of the city
Inna her city there's no pity
Inna her city on the seven hills

See the sign on the slave ships
See the name that they hold
Blaspheme Yesus Kristos
Enslave His people on the market place

By the fruits of her merchandize
Just like satan in paradise
she will come in the best disguise
and most people will buy her lies

Her mystery of iniquity
Making prisons of the city
Inna her city there's no pity
JAH JAH people on the market place

(toasting:)

Now this one called chant down Babylon
Yeah
In a dub wise style
Yes a dub wise style

Come mek wi chant down,
chant down

Chant down Babylon shitstem
Come mek we chant her down
To the ground

Chant down Babylon Shitstem
Come mek we chant down Babylon shitstem

The righteous will do
What the righteous must do
Gathering knowledge and overstanding
About peace love equality for all

Chant down Babylon Queendom
Come mek we chant down Babylon system
Chant down Babylon Queendom
Come mek we chant down Babylon shitstem

Chant down Babylon
Cause all she do
Is causing iniquity,
and war,
and strife

Chant down Babylon shitstem
Chant down Babylon Queendom
Come mek we chant down Babylon shitstem
come mek we chant down Babylon

JAH people on the market place
It's a big disgrace

What do you say?

GENTLEMAN - SERENITY
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW



WWW, May 2008 - Gentleman is a very remarkable Reggae Vocalist whose many travels to Jamaica have not only blessed him with creative goodness, but made him become a popular artist in Yard as well.

He's the son of a German Lutheran preacher, and he has a deep belief in the Creator as well. However, Gentleman doesn't adhere to any specific religion and after discovering the spiritual nature of Reggae he was led to trod on this musical path himself, too.

He started his musical career as a member of the conscious Hip Hop group FK All Stars. But when the group split up in 2001, he formed the Far East Band and moved forward with a very interesting style of Reggae music, wherein he used Hip Hop elements without leaving the essentials that make Reggae Music.

You could say, that he took Hip Hop back to it's roots...

Ever since his first tour in 2002, musically backed by his Far East Band, Tilman Otto has been inspiring, blessing and surprising a worldwide Reggae audience. He recorded material with Sizzla at Judgement Yard in Jamaica, worked with well known producers like Bobbie Digital and singers such as Tanya Stephens.
