Lyrics

[Intro]
Tryna be happy
I am happy
Say, “I am Love”
Okay, here’s the truth

[Verse 1]
The sun came up
It’s supposed to
The waves came up
It’s supposed to
These things never end
Keep life going like a friend
You can trust and depend
It’ll keep come in again
The world keeps spinning on
The world keeps spinning on

[Chorus]
This war’s too big for the man dem
God Satan moving in Tandem
You think everything is random
You fool

[Verse 2]
In world where there’s hunger
Billionaires build a bunker
Keep your spirit one hundred
And you can’t go under
Satan’s looking for a member
Stay strong in the thunder
God can’t be outnumbered
So it’s time to surrender

[Chorus]
This war’s too big for the man dem
‘Cause God Satan moving in Tandem
You think everything is random
You fool, you fool, you fool

[Verse 3]
When you can see truth
What’s more there to prove?
It can happen out the blue
You don’t get to choose
I lived for the getting
I wanna here for giving
Bad girl here for the killing
Now I pray for the living
Angel messenger
Stay out of the danger
Out of the drama
In this last hour
For Babylon
