Nas & Damian Marley - Strong Will Continue lyrics

[Intro: Nas] All I do is stay focused Looking straight forward at the world and beyond I feel people pulling me down I feel some pulling me up I can't get stuck I just keep moving forward I got places to go man Let's go [Hook: Damian Marley] When the armageddon's dark and dread A lot of weak hearted weep and moan Only the strong will continue Do you have it in you? Come, we've got a journey to go And when the battle get sour and dread A lot of weak hearted wither and moan Only the strong will continue I know you have it in you I know you have it in you [Verse 1: Damian Marley] Hey, the victory's found in truth Like innocence found in youth Self defeat is your own dispute And man, you put yourself in your own shoes Either you're winning or losing Don't you get it confused Play a star and you know your own movie Playing of the role you choose, so Stand up and fight if you know that you're right And know you will never fail Tipping the scale and the wind shall prevail And the boat shall forever sail Hey, there ain't no stopping or cruising Even when you're battered and bruised Outrun all the sprinters on Mount Olympus My God's tougher than Zeus [Hook: Damian Marley (Nas)] When the Armageddon's dark and dread (I get up and make it happen) A lot of weak hearted wither and moan (I get up and we get it cracking) Only the strong will continue Do you have it in you? Come, we've got a journey to go And when the battle get sour and dread (I get up and I get it going) A lot of weak hearted wither and moan (We get up and we keep it flowing) Only the strong will continue (yeah) I know you have it in you (yeah, yeah) I know you have it in you [Verse 2: Nas] As I walk through the valley of the shadow of d**h New York to Cali, for the money, power, respect It's a journey, some'll get left behind Cause in life, you cannot press rewind Get it right, you only have one first chance To make one first impression that lasts a lifetime Reputation supersedes itself Do you believe in Hell? Babylon greed for wealth Do you deceive yourself and let your ego swell? And disregard those who most need your help Thick skin, the dark won't take my soul Survive spiritual wars, see my welts And the evil's felt, but the faith is stronger I saw grown men fall when I was a youngster But I clench my fists, ready to go against whoever Tie my Timbs and rise in the end [Hook: Damian Marley (Nas)] When the armageddon's dark and dread (I get up and make it happen) A lot of weak hearted weep and moan (I get up and we get it cracking) Only the strong will continue Do you have it in you? Come, we've got a journey to go And when the battle get sour and tread (I get up and I get it going) A lot of weak hearted wither and moan (We get up and we keep it flowing) Only the strong will continue (yeah) I know you have it in you (yeah, yeah) I know you have it in you [Verse 3: Damian Marley] No man live forever, but never say never Every good he want better, must be a go getter And always be clever in every endeavor Cause drastic time call for drastic measure Yuh birthright to pleasure From yuh navel string sever The land and the treasure, work for whatever Jah said don't be a beggar, the Alpha Omega Will bless every soul no matter which name you prefer The immortal stepper, believe in every skin no matter which color they are We never let we don't know here which kind of weather You're destined to rise like the Son of Rebecca Don't stop for a second Everyone reckon, it sure would be good to be there Whether Zion or Mecca When the gates are finally closed And the saints go marching in [Hook: Damian Marley (Nas)] [Verse 4: Nas] I'm a street lifer Always harra**ed by the cee cyphers Chief like Geronimo with his peace pipe I emerged from the street life This for the homies who relate Know what it be like My QB life takin' a turn to the Louis XIII life Twisted and mangled sort of like Bruce Lee life Cursed with his son Brandon If that's you and me, Knight, I pray our fates greater I speak life I still matter as a rapper, not doubtin' Even Toni Braxton signed a deal with Craig Kallman How in, the hell am I supposed stay comfy When I pay child support, alimony monthly? Got Maseratis and Ferraris Only like a woman who's a rider, But only ho's want me Single life crazy, n***as wives on me I say stay faithful, they say their man corny So I'm, stuck with a married woman So fine, cheatin while they husband Rushing on the 40-yard line, wonder if This is what my ex did the whole time Good n***as seem to always end up With some hard times, hope not If a pimp slippin and a ho plot Ain't nothin to a G in a two-tone drop, kid And it don't stop, See a n***a dissapearin With the baddest honeys in the whole spot, yeah
