[Intro]
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah!
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah!
Na-na-na-na-na-na

[Chorus 1]
One step forward, two step backward
Down inna Babylon
One step forward, two step backward
Down inna Babylon

[Verse 1]
One day you are dreadlocks, well dread!
Next day you are bald head, clean shave!

[Chorus 2]
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step out of Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step out of Babylon

[Verse 2]
Are you-a commercialized, grabbing at the cash-backs?
This is a time of decision; Tell me, what is your plan? (Yeah)
[Chorus 2]
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step out of Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step out of Babylon

[Verse 3]
Straight is the road that leads to destruction (Ooh yeah)
The road to righteousness is narrow (Ah, let me tell you say!)

[Verse 4]
(Onward!) Indictive feelings enter feeling, the truth is a fact, tell me!
Are you a con man, or are you-a dreadlocks, eh?

[Chorus 3]
One step forward, two step backward
Down inna Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step out of Babylon

[Bridge]
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah!
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah!
Na-na-na-na-na-na
[Verse 5]
The road is rough and the hill is steep (Ah, let me tell you say!)
The mountain is high and the valley is deep (Ah yeah! Ah yeah!)

[Chorus 2]
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step out of Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step out of Babylon

[Chorus 1]
One step forward, two step backward
Down inna Babylon
One step forward, two step backward
Down inna Babylon

[Bridge]
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah!
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah!

[Chorus 1]
One step forward, two step backward
Down inna Babylon
One step forward, two step backward
Down inna Babylon
[Verse 3]
Straight is the road that leads to destruction (Ah, hear me when I say!)
The road to righteousness is narrow (Ooh yeah, ooh yeah!)

[Verse 4]
Indictive feelings enter feeling; The truth is a fact, tell me!
Are you a con man, or are you-a dreadlocks, oh?

[Chorus 2]
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step out of Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step out of Babylon

[Chorus 1]
One step forward, two step backward
Down inna Babylon
One step forward, two step backward
Down inna Babylon
