It Was Written (feat Stephen Maley)

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 
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 
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: 
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 [bad word] 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
