STEPPERS OUT OF BABYLON (Discomix)

Don't confuse this one for an older track called "Stepping Out Of Babylon". This one is completely different, even though that other tune has a steppers rhythm too. But that could hardly be anything different, when you look to the title(s). 

This one, just like "Only a Fool", carries a drum style used by Misty in Roots on their superb live album "Live at the Counter Vision": a Timbale hit on the 2nd and 4th count.

Starting and ending with DUB full of synthesizer effects in Mikey Dread style, and in between comes the full lyrics, which are easy to sing along with.

The track deals with (spiritual) repatriation out of Babylon, taking notice of the Bible text that quotes JAH as saying: "Come out of her my people", to all of the people in a Babylon who are Jah people.

LYRICS

Stepping out of Babylon one by one
Stepping out of Babylon two by two
Stepping out of Babylon three by three
Stepping out of Babylon four by four

Forward ever and backward never

Forward Jah Jah Jah Children
Forward Jah Jah Jah Jah Children

Forward even and backward never

We've got to leave out of Babylon
Because judgment is coming

Oh my people beware
Yes Jah people, behold
We've got to leave out of Babylon

Hear what I say!
