Music Is My Ammunition

The songs of my ancestors still ricochet through the wind

And the smoke is rising

Through the words I and I sing

Music is my ammunition;

I fire down Babylon

One more time

The songs of my ancestors still ricochet through the wind

And the smoke is rising

Through the words I and I sing

Music is my ammunition;

Fire down Babylon

Imprisonment poverty and Babylon's system;

We've been suffering all this time

I and I keep on chanting down

Till our children will face

The front of that line

The songs of my ancestors still ricochet through the wind

And the smoke is rising through the words I and I sing

Music is my ammunition lord;

I fire down Babylon

The songs of my ancestors still ricochet through the wind

And the smoke is rising through the words I and I sing

Music is my ammunition lord;

I fire down Babylon

Peace and dignity are not very far out of our reach

It just comes down

To what I and I choose to teach

Truth and honesty will free our hearts

And free our minds

So then our children can live together as one

Till the end of time

The songs of my ancestors still ricochet through the wind

And the smoke is rising through the words I and I sing

Music is my ammunition

I fire down Babylon

Down Babylon

The songs of my ancestors still ricochet through the wind

And the smoke is rising through the words I and I sing

Music is my ammunition lord;

I fire down Babylon

Music is my ammunition;

I fire down Babylon

Music is my ammunition;

I fire down Babylon

Music is my ammunition lord;

I fire down Babylon
