Parables - Tarrus Riley

Read between the lines

Open up your third eye

Read between the lines

Open up your eyes!

Mister Babylon, yeah!

Has got the people’s eyes blind folded

Lost inna nursery rhymes and fiction

Still there’s a real world

And it’s full of many so things that are not right

It’s no fairy tale, it’s a harsh reality

It looks like the three blind mice

Them are the big guys who put the price on the rice

The dish ram away with the spoon

Many were left hungry desperate for food

You’ve got to check those parables

You’ve got to sus' it

Caz babylon to 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

Nah 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 yow!

Parables you’ve got to sus it

Cuz babylon to tricky and them moving well slippery

Check those parables you’ve got to sus it

Read between the lines and wise
