We’re leaving Babylon
We’re going to our Father’s land.

In Rastafari and broader Afro-diasporic religious-political language, “Babylon” signifies an oppressive, corrupt system—colonial power, state violence, materialism, and spiritual captivity—while “Father’s land” evokes Zion: Africa/Ethiopia as a promised homeland and a state of liberation. Read this way, the couplet frames departure not merely as travel but as exodus: a collective turning away from domination toward spiritual and cultural restoration. The “we” is crucial, casting the movement as communal and prophetic, aligning personal redemption with historical repatriation and resistance.
