It was written


Chorus
Stephen Marley:
And it was written
Up in the book of life
Cause the man shall
Endure forever more
(Repeat)

Verse 1
Damian Marley:
Well did you know the pen
Is stronger than di knife
And they can kill you once
But they can't kill you twice
Did you destruction of di flesh is not di ending to life
Fear not of the anti-christ
Did you know that I
Exist before the earth
And did you know my eyes
Are windows to the world
Did you know you can't go a Zion and a wear jheri curls
Can't tell the boys from the girls
The body's just a vehicle
Transporting the soul
It's what's inside the people
Is beauty to behold
Fear not of evil
Everyday dem flesh it grow old
Changes of the time take the toll

Chorus

Verse 2
Capleton:
I won dem fi in fury's in the eyes of di beholder
A lovers in the presence of the love maker
Rises in the words of the comforter
Endure much longer
Way much longer
Fury's in the eyes of di beholder
A lovers in the presence of the love maker
Rises in the words of the comforter
Endure much longer
Way much longer
Careful of your entertain stranger
Selaisse never born inna nuh manger
And dem never crucify as nuh savior
He leck off himself inna the ruler

Verse 3
Jr. Gong:
A vest around his chest and Rastafari is his name
The gift of everlasting life for us to all sustain
Lesson that you all forgot
Lesson taught you all forgot
Rasta call I shit you not
Do you remember Elijah
And his chariot of flames
Same blood that runs tru my veins

Verse 2

Verse 4
Capleton:
Babylon nah function when dem a failure
So be careful of dem cellular and pager
Cuz I sign see dem I see danger
So dem grateful Selaisse I bray tay yo

Chorus

Verse 5
Drag-on:
Watch for sticks and stones
Stumbling blocks in piles
Life is one big road
Miles on top of miles
So blessed be the soul
That always remains a child
And most people don't even smile
There's a natural mystic
Blowing in tru the air
So keep it realistic
And always be aware
The truth is crying out
And it's so loud and so clear
But most people won't even hear
Spiritual pollution is in the atmosphere
And with so much confusion
Can one be happy here
The gift of Rastafari is for all man to share
But some would rather to be so unfair

Chorus

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
