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
