It Was Written |
That man shall, endure forever more |
And it was written, up in the book of life |
That man shall, endure forever more |
Well did you know the pen is stronger than the knife |
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 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 |
Your bodies just a vehicle transporting the soul |
It’s what’s inside people, is beauty to behold |
Fear not of evil, every day dem flesh it grow old |
Changes of the time take toll |
It is told that once this greasy order |
Is form it comes into a young man’s world |
And two of dem is like a soldier |
That joins the thunder is a wonder |
One’s attack is like a blunder |
One is luckily a stranger |
Dem both was born like Jesus inna manger |
So join the thunder that’s savin' our world |
A vester on his chest and Rastafarian is his name |
A gift of everlasting life for us to all sustain |
Blessing that you all be got, lessons taught you all forgot |
Rasta call I shit you not, do you remember Elijah |
And his chariot of flames, same blood that runs through my veins |
Watch for sticks and stones stumbling blocks and 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 through the air so keep it realistic and always be aware |
The truth is crying out and it’s so loud and 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 |
It is told that once this greasy order |
Is form it comes into a young man’s world |
And two of dem is like a soldier |
That joins the thunder is a wonder |
