Drag-on - It Was Written lyrics

[Hook: Stephen Marley] 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 di knife And they can k** you once But they can't k** 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 ah Zion and ah wear jerry curls Can't tell the boys from the girls The body's just a vehicle Transporting the soul Its whats inside the people Is beauty to behold Fear not of evil Everyday dem flesh it grow old Changes of the times take the toll [Hook] [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: 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 be got Lessons taught you all forgot Rasta call it sh** 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 how you entertain stranger Sela**ie never born inna nuh manger And him never crucify as nuh savior Elect off himself inna the ruler Babylon ah nah malfunction well dem a failure So be careful of dem cellular and pager Cause I sign see dem I see danger So dem great but Selaisse I greater [Hook] [Verse 5: Drag-on] He did mi wanna lick upon shots Upon a bloodclad And fill the block with bum rush cops Cops mi dun talk you know you watch me walks in While black woman is getting raped across mi yards And Before another brother's in chalk And I 'magine 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 mi gonna pop you b'fore you pop me Cause if you get me you got me you shot me Know'll lot me carry shotty since moms slap me Cause my room sloppy The youngest n***a 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 mi prada Watch a bomb holla Watch 'im run, hit the floor Told 'im come, come no Throw ya ganja pon de air 'plah!' [Hook] [Verse 6: Damian Marley] 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 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 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 [Hook]
