Damian Marley It Was Written Lyrics Chorus Stephen Marley: And it was written Up in the book of life Cause the man shall Endure forever more (Repeat) Verse 1 Damian: 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 know 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 jerry 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: The one ya name, fear is in the eyes of di beholder And love is in the presence of the love maker Life is in the words of the comforter Endure much longer Live much longer Fear is in the eyes of di beholder And love is in the presence of the love maker Life is in the words of the comforter Endure much longer Live much longer Verse 3 Jr. Gong: A vester on his chest and Rastafari is his name The gift of everlasting life for us to all sustain Blessing that you all be got Lessons taught you all forgot Rasta call it shit you not Do you remember Elijah And his chariot of flames Same blood that runs thru my veins Verse 4 Capleton: The one ya name, fear is in the eyes of di beholder And love is in the presence of the love maker Life is in the words of the comforter Endure much longer Live much longer Fear is in the eyes of di beholder And love is in the presence of the love maker Life is in the words of the comforter Endure much longer Live much longer Careful of you, entertain stranger Selaisse never born inna nuh manger I'll never crucify as me savior Elect off himself inna the ruler Babylon nah function well dem a failure So be careful of dem cellular and pager Cause I sign see dem I see danger So dem grateful Selaisse I pray to you Chorus Verse 5 Drag-on: ?? Verse 6 Damian: 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
