Hi,

English is not my native tongue : I'm not so familiar with the patwa. I need the translation of some lyrics : You can listen to the song here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kU959L4fLO0

"I understood : "Babylon ; dem a beat, dem a shout, deam a laugh" [..] But not the whole thing. Is this something like : Babylon dem a "brought low" like "vilify" or more like dem a "blue" (sad) ? I do not understand this specific word around 33sec. If someone can help me ! I want to do a cover of this song ...

Thanks in advance.

Babylon dem a "brute"?

it's

Them a walk, them a shoot, them a loot
Babylon them a brute
Them a walk, them a loot, them a shoot
But we know evil by the root

Indeed, this is more closer to the meaning of the song like this ! I found this version : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDEpatBJ-AU (this time I understood everything)
--> Like Father Like Son

Big Up !
