Pick up the pen like I'm pickin up the world
When I put it to the paper you can see the colors swirlin
I got an army- alphabet of fire burnin
Lyric of liquid nickel- keep this world turnin
I see the Earth as part of me, so to be this free and easy
The Movement plants a tree- sows the seed just where the seed need be
The Universe is callin sayin that it needs me
You get hungry- I just let this music feed me
So I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon
I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon
So many times I wanna stay but I gotta travel on
I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon
Side by side we unite so we see the masses move men
Been a million miles- you can see just where this truth's been
You start a riot when you see The Movement provin
To the people that we are the heavy- see the roof bend
See another side of life- try my strife but release the knife
Constantly pressured to be the best- Joshua please be my light
Baby I'm tryin, if only you could just see my plight
Then we would never have had to try to survive this fight
So I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon
I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon
So many times I wanna stay but I gotta travel on
I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon
I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon
So many times I wanna stay but I gotta travel on
I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon
So I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon
I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon
So many times I wanna stay but I gotta travel on
I take my pen and stab it thru the heart of Babylon
