Patoranking‘s latest song, “Babylon,” is a powerful anthem of resilience and hope in the face of adversity. The song is a scathing indictment of the corrupt and oppressive systems that keep people down, but it is also a celebration of the human spirit and our ability to overcome even the greatest challenges.

He is determined to “run and run until I find Heavens Gate o.”
In the second verse, the singer describes the challenges he faces: “Dem say make I no go enemies dem set trap / I waka with leg Like who dey Cele church.” He is surrounded by enemies who are trying to set traps for him, but he is not afraid. He walks with faith, like a member of the Celestial Church of Christ, a Christian denomination known for its vibrant worship and its strong emphasis on prayer and fasting.
In the chorus, the singer repeats his determination to overcome: “Me I go run and run until I / Babylon Babylon o / Me I go run and run until I find Heavens Gate o.” He is not going to let Babylon defeat him. He is going to keep running until he finds salvation.
The song ends with a defiant statement: “Normally I no fear / My paddy I dey tell you / If Corona burst me I no still wear mask.” The singer is not afraid of anything, not even the coronavirus. He is determined to live his life freely, even in the face of danger.
