Tarrus Riley - Parables
Open up your third eye
Read between the lines
Open up your eyes
Mistery Babylon, yeah
Has got the people's eyes blind folded
Lost inna nursery rhymes, culture and fiction, ah
Still there's a real world, check it
And it's full of many so things that are not right
It's no fairy tale, it's a harsh reality, ooh
It looks like the three blind mice
Them are the big guys who put the price on the rice
When the dish run away with the spoon
Many were left hungry, desperate for food
You've got to check those parables, you've got to sus' it
Cah Babylon too tricky and them moving well slippery
Check those parable you've got to sus it
Read between the lines and wise
Now Jack and Jill went up the hill
To rob poor people against their will
Them think them wise and think them skilled, hah get no water
Humpty dumpty had to fall
Him scorn the crown and climbed the wall
And all of them he had to call to get a plaster, yo
Parables you've got to sus it
Cah Babylon too tricky and them moving well slippery
Check those parables you've got to sus it
Read between the lines and wise
Now little Bo peep, must have sleep
Or if you lose sleep in times like these
When basic necessity are headache and stress to eat
Massive buildings burning down, September 11, 911
Check the clothes and everyone and then you'll see how it was done
Those parables, you've got to sus' it
Cah Babylon too tricky and them moving well slippery
Check those parable you've got to sus it
Read between the lines and wise
Mistery Babylon, yeah
Now they're the master of great manipulation
And they'll distract your head, to change your meditation, I and I
Still there's a real world
And full of many many things that are not right
It's no fairytale, it's a harsh reality
It looks like the three blind mice
Them are the big guys who put the price on the rice
When the dish run away with the spoon
Many were left hungry, desperate for food
You've got to check those parables, you've got to sus' it
Cah Babylon too tricky and them moving well slippery
Check those parable you've got to sus it
Read between the lines and wise
