Big Youth - Notty No Jester (7")

Lee Perry "Judgment in a Babylon" Disco

(get it for $2.99 at ebreggae.com)

Maybe the most libelous lyrics ever committed to vinyl, but so over the top that it's funny. Perry always had issues with other producers, but this is out of control:

"Judment In A Babylon" 1981 by L. Perry:

This is the truth, the true true truth
Forward march!

This is the truth, nothing but the truth.
This is the truth, and nothing but the truth,
so help me God.

I saw Chris Blackwell in Nassau, Bahamas
Drinking the blood from a fowl in a rum glass.
At his new studio in Compass Point
So help me God, this is the truth.

He invite me from Kingston Jamaica
To the new opening of his new studio.
I went and I saw his event with my own eyes
And I man serious say the truth as long live the sky

He offered me a cup of fresh cold blood
I said to him, man, I am a stud, I don’t drink blood.
I am the collie man, I am a solid man.
I am the roots man, I am the truths man.
I am a fair man, I am the gear man,
I don’t drink blood.

Chris Blackwell is a vampire.
And I am speaking the truth through electric fire of a Jah.
Tom Hayes, his lawyer, is a vampire.
And I am speaking the truth through electric wire.
His secretary, Denice, is a witch
Who claims to me she’s a high priestess
And believe in cult, voodoo, and Obeah
I’m telling you the truth and it’s no lie

International news to the Jews,
International news from the blues:
Chris Blackwell is a vampire
Sucking the blood of the sufferer

He killed Bob Marley and take away his royalty.
He killed Bob Marley and penalize the Wailers
Chris Blackwell is a vampire
Who’s sucking the blood of the sufferer
Tom Hayes is a vampire
Who’s sucking the blood of the sufferer

He killed Bob Marley, and take away his royalty
Because Bob Marley was speaking the truth.
So he set him up to get rid of him
Because he’s working with the Mafias.

I saw Chris Blackwell in Nassau
Drinking the blood of a chicken in a rum glass.
And have the heart to have I man a drink.
I said no, man, I don’t deal with treason ass-kissing.

I’m a clean cut, from the root,
I am a clean cut, I am the truth.
I’m a clean cut, I look a youth.
I don’t drink blood.

Chris Blackwell come to Jamaica,
Want to sign up all the artists,
Because he want to control Jamaican music.
Then he can take the black man music and
Promote his white artists
But Jahovia Jah Rastafari say it won’t work.
Him get a jerk.

Simmer down, you’re licking too hot.
Cool down your temper.
Chris Blackwell, cool out
Water stepper

Judgment in a Babylon Judgment in a Babylon
Judgment in a Babylon Judgment in a Babylon

Human rights declaration throughout the land
Universally, to the earth, wind, and fire,
to the earth, wind, and fire.

Chris Blackwell is a vampire
Who always sucking the blood of the sufferer
Christoper Columbus
Chris Blackwell is a vampire
Who is sucking the blood of the sufferer
Chris Blackwell is a vampire
Who is sucking the blood of a sufferer

He gave Bob Marley cancer
Couldn’t find the answer.
