It Was Written (Feat. Stephen Marley, Capleton, & Drag-On)
(Chorus) (Stephen Marley) It was written, up in the book of life That man shall, endure forever more And it was written, up in the book of life That man shall, endure forever more
(Damian Marley) Well did you know the pen is stronger than the knife They can kill you once but they can't kill you twice Did you know destruction of the flesh is not the 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 jerry curls Can't tell the boys from the girls Your bodies just a vehicle Transporting the soul It's what's inside people Is beauty to behold Fear not of evil Every day dem flesh it grow old Changes of the time take toll
(Chorus)
(Capleton) It is told that once this greasy order Is form it comes into a young man's world And two of dem is like a soldier That joins the thunder is a wonder One's attack is like a blunder One is luckily a stranger Dem both was born like Jesus inna manger So join the thunder that's savin' our world
(Bridge) (Damian Marley) A vester on his chest and rastafari is his name A gift of everlasting life for us to all sustain Blessing that you all be got Lessons taught you all forgot Rasta call I shit you not Do you remember Elijah And his chariot of flames Same blood that runs through my veins
(Capleton)
(Drag-On) Watch for sticks and stones Stumbling blocks and 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 through the air So keep it realistic and always be aware The truth is crying out And it's so loud and 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
