Escape from BABYLON
Producers
(You did good, $lick)
I, I truly had thoughts in my mind (It’s a Smash!)
Of us and future you'll come true
And I know you're tryin' to be everything I need
You're the sweetest thing, treated me like everything and—
Pimpin' as a real pimp (Talkin' a-, talk-, talkin' about dirty tramp, sorry, I can't)
Pimpin' as a real pimp (Talkin' a-, talk-, talkin' about dirty tramp, sorry I can't)
Pimpin' as a real pimp (Talkin' a-, talk-, talkin' about dirty tramp, sorry I can't )
Pimpin' as a real pimp (Talkin' a-, talk-, talkin' about dirty tramp, sorry, I can't)
[Verse 1: Romeo da Black Rose]
Finding love in all the wrong places, shuffling through pretty faces
I'm glad you had a nice time, but right now I need my space, bitch
I don't wanna waste your time, and I definitely don't wanna waste mine
If I don't feel the vibe, I'll curb you like a stop sign, yeah (Uh)
I been goin' through some shit
I guess I'm gettin' used to it
I been goin' through some shit
I guess I'm gettin' used to it
I used to doubt my usefulness
She a bad bitch and her ass thick
She gon' turn me into a sad simp, another habit
Goddamn, I'm such an addict, I always gotta have it
One more time for validation
Watch me turn into a rabbit
What do ya know? It's young Wetto riding with a ho
That bitch before? She was tripping, had to let her go
Eenie-meenie-miney-moe, now her finger froze
I was sold when I showed my flaws and she loved me more
Used to fuckin' hate her and she stated that she hate me too
Now it's, "Babe, I love you," and she sayin', "Boy, I love you too"
Still I deal with trauma from this ex in my past
Only bitch I know psycho enough to land me in rehab
I ran, forty yard dash with a stash in my pants
Now lookin' back she never had a chance (Ayy)
Movin' on to better things, bigger dreams
Like cummin' in pussy and hope my girl has a mini me
[Outro: Sarah Juers]
I, I truly had thoughts in my mind
Of us and future you'll come true
And I know you're tryin' to be everything I need
You're the sweetest thing, treated me like everything and—
He's everything we need, He's everything we need
Makin' us to who we supposed to be
And I'm just tryna go where He tellin' me
Be right where I'm supposed to be
And I will never say I–
About
Babylon is used here to represent the ‘’Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and Abominations of the Earth‘’, commonly known as the Whore of Babylon (Which is also the name of the artwork they used as the cover for the song), refers to a symbolic female figure of evil, mentioned in the Book of Revelation:
“[…] And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of names of blasphemy with seven heads and ten horns. The woman was garbed in purple and scarlet, and gilded with gold, gems, and pearls, and bearing a golden goblet in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.” – Revelation 17:3,4
The “Whore of Babylon” is being used by the Boy$ to talk about getting away from their exes and gold-digging “hoes”, as said in the line:
Still I deal with trauma from this ex in my past
Only bitch I know psycho enough to land me in rehab
