Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na
[Verse 2]
One step forward, two step backward
Down inna Babylon
One step forward, two step backward
Down inna Babylon
[Verse 3]
One day you are dreadlocks, well dread
Next day you are bald head, clean shave
[Verse 4]
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step outta Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step outta Babylon
[Verse 5]
Are you a commercialized?
Grabbing at the cash backs?
This is a time of decision
Tell me, what is your plan, yeah?
[Verse 6]
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step outta Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step outta Babylon
[Verse 7]
Straight is the road that leads to destruction
Ooh, yeah
The road to righteousness is narrow
Oh, let me tell you say (Onward)
Indicative feelings ain't appealing
The truth is a fact, tell me
Are you a con man? Or are you a dreadlocks, hey?
[Verse 8]
One step forward, two step backward
Down inna Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step outta Babylon
[Verse 9]
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na
[Verse 10]
The road is rough and the hill is steep
Oh, let me tell you say (On)
The mountain is high and the valley is deep
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
[Verse 11]
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step outta Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step outta Babylon
[Verse 12]
One step forward, two step backward
Down inna Babylon
One step forward, two step backward
Down inna Babylon
[Verse 13]
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Now let me tell you, say
Now let me tell you, say
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Now let me tell you
[Verse 14]
One step forward, two step backward
Down inna Babylon
One step forward, two steps backward
Down inna Babylon
[Verse 15]
Straight is the road that leads to destruction
Oh, hear me when I say
The road to righteousness is narrow
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Indicative feelings ain't appealing
The truth is a fact, tell me
Are you a con man? Or are you a dreadlocks? Oh
[Verse 16]
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step outta Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step outta Babylon
[Verse 17]
One step forward, two step backward
Down inna Babylon
One step forward, two step backward
Down inna Babylon
[Verse 18]
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step outta Babylon
[Verse 19]
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
