Lyrics Born In Babylon (Live in Virginia) - SOJA

I came from nothing, but I'm nothing like nothing
Nobody thought I was something
Called every name in the book
For every second guess, I never gave a second look, look

I tell myself, don't let it get to me
If the best they got is not impressing me
There's no resignation get the best of me
And I see you're aiming at my words, you missed the rest of me like-

How can I stop all these critics from their talking?
The more I do, the more they say, yeah
There's no way I'm stopping
So they just keep on talking
Who do you think I think I am?

I see there's more like me
Born in Babylon, but you just got to be free
Shackles on your feet that you and me can't see
But you can feel them, and they're heavy, and you need that key like-

Now you're looking at your hands, saying
"Man, if I ditch the system, these could be mine"
Then you hear a voice coming from behind
"Don't even think about stepping out of line"

How can I stop all these critics from your talking?
The more I do, the more they say, yeah
There's no way I'm stopping
So they just keep on talking
Who do you think I think I am?

And now all I've got
They stand up behind me if you like it or not
I'm telling you, you that the fire's hot
Did you see that smoke, and did you hear that shot?

'Cause it's a war and in the middle I am
Judge me now with your pen in hand
I'm too busy to judge another man
I'm not tryna break the blueprint that make the world understand

How can I stop all these critics from their talking?
The more I do, the more they say, yeah
There's no way I'm stopping
So they just keep on talking
Who do you think I think I am? Yeah

How can I? I, I
How can I? I, I
Who do you think I think I am? Yeah

Maybe I should go back to school
But any more education, and it makes me feel like a fool
Guess I gotta lecture this time 'cause I am in style

Alright
