Damian marley ft capleton it was written lyrics

[Intro: Capleton] Blazing! Blazing

[Chorus: Stephen Marley] And it was written, up in the book of life That a man shall endure forever more And it was written, up in the book of life That a man shall endure forever more

[Verse 1: Damian Marley] Well, did you know the pen is stronger than the knife And 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 Antichrist 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 body's just a vehicle transporting your soul It's what's inside the people is beauty to behold Fear not of evil, every day dem flesh it grow old Changes of the times take the toll

[Chorus: Stephen Marley & Capleton] And it was written, up in the book of life That a man shall endure forever more Weh the man say And it was written, up in the book of life That a man shall endure forever more

[Verse 2: Capleton] Da one yah name Fear is in the eyes of the 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 the 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: Damian Marley] A vest around his chest and Rastafari is his name The gift of everlasting life for us to all sustain Blessing that you all begot Lessons taught you all forgot Rasta call it, I sh*t you not Do you remember Elijah? And his chariot of flames Same blood that runs through my veins

[Verse 4: Capleton] Da one yah name Fear is in the eyes of the 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 the 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 how you entertain, stranger Selassie never born inna no manger And him never crucify as no saviour Elect off himself, him a the ruler Babylon a malfunction, well dem a failure So be careful of dem cellular and pager Say dem great, but Selassie I greater, yo

[Chorus: Stephen Marley & Capleton] That a man shall endure forever more And it was written, up in the book of life That a man shall Blaze it up, blaze it up Endure forever more

[Verse 5: Drag-On] Me think me wanna lick upon shots Upon a bloodclaat and fill the block with bumbaraas cops Cops me done talk you know you watch me walks in While black woman is getting raped across New Yorks and Before another brother's in chalks and Imagine somebody said that's your son dead, see him? See us, we do the crime, we do the time Y'all get away scott free So police me gonna pop you before you pop me Know'll lot me carry shotty since moms slap me The youngest nigga out the camp is me But nobody pampered me So you better don't ramp with me, fi see me Me don't play plenty, chicks me blazed many Raised plenty fi dollars Storm upon me Prada, watch a bomb holla Watch him run, hit the floor Told him come, come now Throw your ganja 'pon the air, 'plah!

[Chorus: Stephen Marley & Capleton] And it was written, up in the book of life That a man shall Blaze it up, blaze it up Endure forever more

[Verse 6: Damian Marley] So 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 When most people don't even smile There's a natural mystic blowing through 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, 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: Stephen Marley & Capleton] And it was written, up in the book of life That a man shall endure forever more And it was written, up in the book of life That a man shall endure forever more Blaze it up, blaze it up And it was written, up in the book of life That a man shall endure...
