      “Babylon, Babylon, out my window all I see is Babylon. On the news all I see is babble on, all niggas do is just babble on...” is what he is saying in case you didn’t know. A reference not only to the perceived corruption & likeness of the United States to the biblical Babylon but also the tale itself in the fact that once the tower was obstructed by a deity of sorts, people were unable to truly communicate amongst each other, an allusion to the babbling described in old texts. Honestly a fantastic bar even if he has to use Babylon twice. I think he chose to say it twice for our sake though, kind of like “yeah I said Babylon, remember that story?”
