[00:00:03] A big question posed to me daily on the street

[00:00:26] Of the Babyloon

[00:00:29] And the situation

[00:00:31] It´s because

[00:00:32] Of the Babyloon

[00:00:35] And the situation

[00:00:37] When I was a boy about eight years old

[00:00:40] There was a certain rastaman

[00:00:43] And he love all the children

[00:00:46] And he treated us like a man

[00:00:49] Even the little children that no one cares for

[00:00:52] He called up everyone

[00:00:55] And he gave us food and treated everyone

[00:00:59] With a special love

[00:01:01] Many people see I many people ask I
