One step forward, two steps backward
Down inna Babylon
One step forward, two steps backward
Down inna Babylon
One day you are dreadlocks (well dread)
Next day you are baldhead (clean shave) |

Onward,
forward, don’t step backward
Step out of Babylon
Onward, forward, don’t step backward
Step out of Babylon |
Isaiah
48:20 - Go ye forth of Babylon,
flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of
singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to
the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath
redeemed his servant Jacob.
Jeremiah 50:8
- Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go
forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as
the he goats before the flocks.
Jeremiah 51:6
- Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver
every man his soul: be not cut off in her
iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD's
vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence. |
Are you a
commercial locks,
Grabbing at the cash-backs?
This is a time of decision
Tell me, what is your plan? yeah
Onward, forward, don’t step backward
Step out of Babylon
Onward, forward, don’t step backward
Step out of Babylon |

Straight is the
road that leads to destruction
Ooh yeah
The road to righteousness is narrow
Ah let me tell you say |
Matthew
7:13-14 - Enter ye in at the
strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is
the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many
there be which go in thereat: Because strait is
the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth
unto life, and few there be that find it. |
Indictive
feelings enter feeling
The truth is a fact, tell me
Are you a con man, or are you a dreadlocks, eh?
One step forward, two steps backward
Down inna Babylon
Onward, forward, don’t step backward
Step out of Babylon
Ooh yeah ooh yeah

The road is rough and the hill is steep
Ah let me tell you say
The mountain is high and the valley is deep
Oh yeah oh yeah
Onward, forward, don’t step backward
Step out of Babylon
Onward, forward, don’t step backward
Step out of Babylon
One step forward, two steps backward
Down inna Babylon
One step forward, two steps backward
Down inna Babylon
Ooh yeah ooh yeah
Ah let me tell you say
Ah let me tell you say
Ooh yeah ooh yeah
Ah let me tell you say
One step forward, two steps backward
Down in a Babylon
One step forward, two steps backward
Down in a Babylon
Straight is the road that leads to destruction
Ah hear me when I say
The road to righteousness is narrow
Ooh yeah ooh yeah
Indictive feelings enter feeling
The truth is a fact, tell me
Are you a con man, or are you a dreadlocks, oh?
Onward, forward, don’t step backward
Step out of Babylon
