Artist/Band: Damian Marley
Lyrics for Song: It Was Written
Lyrics for Album: Halfway Tree [2001]



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

Seh dem great but SelaisseI greater.



Chorus



Verse 5

Drag-on:

He did mi wanna lick upon shots

Upon a bloodclad

And fill the block with bomrush cops

Cops mi dun talk you know you watch me walks in

While black woman is getting raped across New York 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 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 mi prada

Watch a bomb holla

Watch 'im run, hit the floor

Told 'im come, come no

Throw ya ganja pon de air

'plah!'



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
