And it was written up in the book of life
That man shall endure forever more And it was written up in the book of life That man shall endure forever more Well, did 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 that my eyes are windows to the world? Did you know you can't go, ah Zion and wear Jerry curls? Can't tell the boys from the girls Your body is just a vehicle transporting your soul It's what's inside of people is beauty to behold Fear not of evil, every day them flesh it grow old Changes of the times take a toll And it was written up in the book of life That man shall endure forever more And it was written up in the book of life That man shall endure forever more Fear is in the eye of the beholder 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 eye of the beholder Love is in the presence of the love maker Life is in the words of the comforter Endure much longer, live much longer A wester on his chest and Rastafari is his name A gift of everlasting life for all us to 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 run through my veins Fear is in the eye of the beholder 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 eye of the beholder Love is in the presence of the love maker Life is in the words of the comforter Endure much |

Where there's, more hungry mouths
Than food to eat It's where the homeless Roam the street Where broken glass And broken dreams Are shattered and scattered Amongst debris Sufferation wrath And still they laugh And dream of a mansion Above the half No one to speak Upon there behalf Now tell me do they stand a chance? Where there's, more food Than mouths to feed Where you find those who Claim to lead Because of all their personal greed They always want more than they need They don't help those Below the half Instead they stand aside and laugh As if it's all we'll ever ask When will they make a change? CHORUS (Yami Bolo) Children lift your heads To the one Who create the sun My children And your light will come shinning again Show the world Jah love is okay When we rise and greet the sun Lets give him thanks and praise VERSE Illegal guns They roam the night In hungry hands Waiting to bite The first sign of Any food in sight Youths in the dark Searching for light Hard time they face Is not a choice Police curfew Is no surprise And with no one To be there voice Do they stand a chance? Where there's, more hungry mouths Then food to eat Where you find those who Claim to lead Because of all there personal greed They always want more than they need They don't help those Below the Ave Instead they stand aside and laugh As if it's all we'll ever ask When will they make a change? VERSE Its like a punk never check Or dem did forget Say a death We nature naughty Ah true mi go born uptown Tell dem fools don't cross me That's only where Cindy brought me And that's why they can't impress me With no boasty car Me know dat ah kill dem softly And then they're not Really even who they think they are They're not really moving crafty Mi get fi understand Say them plan dem faulty Well nuff a dem a twenty And favor forty Filthy rich big belly And hearty Di real Gideon will Be arriving shortly Rasta nuh beat Binghi Drum we claatt it We live longer Cause we food nuh salty We grow stronger And dem can't assault we So haile Rastafari love And exhalt it |

We learn from the old school When strictly thugs used to run it When one wheel wheely was the move Long before Bogle start dance and still deh pon paper money Police ah lock up man fi dem shoes That simply mean the station full up a bear Clark boot and Bally From England whe' spankin' new Before man start to mek flex When dem used to mek dally And speak of the rights and truth If unno starvin' fi di brain food Man have it fi feed you like porridge Weh rich inna dreadnut juice Cause nuff a wah dem learn in university and college It water down and dilute I tell you street smarts wi carry you through life like a carriage From a survival point of view And if what you seek is the truth And to increase knowledge Now you surely can't lose...Why? <i>[Chorus]</i> <i>[Verse 2]</i> The return of the dread I when I get back the entire Empire will start to strike back Well a bare army green full up mi flight pack Some red eye guy a wonder which bank we hijack And a we the voluptuous girls a smile at Any bwoy nuh like dat, him gone pon ice box We can be dangerous like how the night black We will dip and come up, select and slide back And say she loves my culture, herbs and locks Silkly smooth way of I flow My words and my tracks She's hoping we can spend a night at Somewhere that's warm and cozy...why not She's been wanting me since my Karl Kani drop And she needs the substance, not the hype chat For dark clouds do bring rain...baby Here comes the sun to shine again <i>[Chorus]</i> <i>[Verse 3]</i> BOOM!

<i>[Black Thought Speaking]</i>
And yes y'all, you now rocking with the best Black Thought from the legendary Roots crew in the flesh I split up in here with the brothers from the Marley family Creston--we gon' say it for y'all <i>[Stephen Marley]</i> She loves to party, have a good time She looks so hearty, feeling fine She loves to smoke, sometimes shifting coke Hey...she'd be laughing when there ain't no joke <i>[Chorus: Stephen Marley]</i> Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was <i>[Verse 1]</i> Cause coke was a thing that once she first try Was once a blue moon to once a blue sky Now she's wondering who else wants to go buy She don't got no money and wants to get high Story sounds familiar, Like born to be wild but she sillier Not quite the same, but she similar A waste of my sarsaparilla Used to look good in the videos, now she look hideous Now it's broken crack pipes with lipstick traces Walks the cold nights red district places She seen more hotels than my tour suitcases More male customers than Old Navy's She love lime light more than John Swaby's Seen more miles than a Rent-A-Avis She don't slow down then someday maybe She lost and can't find her way to safety <i>[Chorus Repeats]</i> <i>[Black Thought]</i> Check it out She keep her head up in the space like a satellite Because she got an insatiable appetite For staying out late nights with all the parasites Plotting on a way to cop a little piece of paradise Her dignity the only thing that she could sacrifice Just get the monkey off her back and she'd be back in line Five minutes she stay on the move, She'd done smoked up the stone that the builder refused All coked up alone, she ain't even in tune And it's sad cause she ain't really have a reason to use She was pretty girl Cleaner than the Board of Health Studied and enjoyed herself, I don't know what drove her to avoid herself Destroyed herself and took a taste of the yay' And now she on the track, working while she wasting away It's safe to say, she looking for a someplace to stay Who ever got a little paper to play Can get a slice of this... <i>[Chorus Repeats]</i> <i>[Verse 2]</i> For no reason a seasoned splif was the first thing One spring season while she's out flirting Now she season in and don't need rehearsing Esteem get a beating, life is uncertain Ego need feeding, now the wants worsen Beneath the demons she's a warm person When she's not fiending, swearing and cursing Behind the curtains, she's really hurting And while her people don't even trust her at home The dealer dem grin and cook the rocks down And she without sin will spark the first stone The feeling kicks in she's in the dark zone Old friends walk pass going 'bout their own As if she is someone that they don't know Then the King of Kings lift her off the floor Saying, "Life is a thing when you learn you grow." <i>[Chorus Repeats]</i> <i>[Verse 3]</i> She rise and she fall like a star Her life write off like a car Her face full of all kinda scar Always quick fi start a war She can't keep herself up to par She plays like a broken guitar She always want tek it too far I doubt she a-go mek it too far She rise and she fall like a star Her life write off like a car Her face full of all kinda scar Always quick fi start a war She can't keep herself up to par She plays like a broken guitar She always want tek it too far Mi wonder how she mek it so far |

<i>[Chorus: Stephen Marley & Rovleta Fraser]</i>
Hey girl! The way you make me feel I know your love is real You satisfy my every want and need Hey boy! You're always on my mind We need to spend more time Cause no one else can touch my heart inside <i>[Verse 1]</i> She look so good in her clothes She get dressed and roll So much man a fly down, Call the pest control Confident princess, She address them bold She nah manifest, Fi them sexual goal She wish them the best, Rasta bless them soul Her mouth nuh filthy, Like nuh cess tank pool Smarter than most intellectual fools Weh spend them time pon internet chat rooms She said, "Junior you're a genius You think with your mind and not your penis Your gang of Jamaican Al Pacinos Drinking Blue Mountain cappuccinos." Will I say, "Baby you're the cleanest The true definition of what my queen is Nothing could've ever really come between us Share the same room and Jah will feed us." <i>[Chorus Repeats]</i> <i>[Verse 2]</i> Why mi love her fi all she's worth Sitn' fi gwan she wi start it first Wheel and pop off, Supn' outta she purse Whole heap a fool have to start disperse Police ah come you see how fast she splurt Can't find no sign of she khaki skirt Light up the place like we spark these herbs Love watch the way that she gwan When a big tune a play pon the dance-hall set Selector rewind every chance them get The rhythm design fi she dance and sweat All when morning ashine she nuh start dance yet Man clear the line when she walk and step But she nah pay no mind to remarks them mek Always on time take a chance and bet She's a fine piece of mind with right mindset She said, "Junior you're a genius You think with you're mind and not you're peanuts Your gang of Jamaican Al Pacinos Drinking Blue Mountain cappuccinos." I say, "Baby you're the cleanest The true definition of what my queen is Nothing could've ever really come between us Share the same room and Jah will feed us." <i>[Chorus Repeats]</i> <i>[Verse 3]</i> So boom! Animal you never know from you born Places you only see when travel channel tun on Our means of trans-p is when the camel run on Camouflage and fatigue is our style and fashion "Fliminitti" weh she have and that is the attraction What she want is what she get and that is satisfaction Well she want it all night and not just fi a fraction Well too much long talking now a time fi action Well she love fi spend money but she rather spend time And if mi gone fi ten minute, She call me ten time If mi nuh pick up then she panic Then she call mi friend line Cause she want the veteran fi come and bend up her spine A substantial amount of African fly squat I have to sip a roots and bun a one night cap And she love the veteran, him always hit the right spot And the way she feel so good I have to bounce right back <i>[Chorus Repeats]</i> |

[Chorus]
Jah told you, in his own words And I'll see you through To guide you through this cold world And I'll see you through Jah told you, in his own words And I'll see you through To guide you through this cold world And I'll see you through Two steps away from death, a vest and a holster I detest detectives arresting us over Weapons possession, they was checking the Rover Inspecting the tattoos on my neck and my shoulder How many times I'm one of six coffin-holders Or I'm sitting with goons in a visiting room Flip it, I could've been you Behind state walls bidding These are the things that a G pray for, acquit us A little stash in the safe or a little shorty to wait for 'em Or a shorty to take the weight for him What really did I escape from? Thought I saw God's face on the design on my vintage Claiborne Swear I see 'em every day in the bus or the train Or the billboards out there that hang tall I still give thanks for him, have faith for him No matter what his name's called [Chorus] Hey can you think of a color that you've never seen? Can you reminisce on places you've never been? Well is many are called But them never deemed Worthy for the cause Cause them never clean Help who help themselves Jah nuh raffle dream That's why me chummy with Jah Jah Like a Cherubim Keep us strong through the winter like an Evergreen And all of us are more connected than it ever seems All things are related and creation is a package Generate together and we increase the wattage A how them a go manage? Tell Babylon them can't do Rasta damage Nor stop we through the passage Jah did make a promise, God is always honest Always keep his word, don't care what the plan is Don't be astonished Stumbling bocks vanish One day the meek gonna live inna di palace, whoa! [Chorus: x2] Yo, yo, Some people ask me if I feel the Zionists are real And in my songs do I plan to expose and reveal Word to the curb that's under these chrome wheels My homies is only ones I'm taking care of But severe reality starts to become more clear And these know-it-all rappers have become more weird As if they were superior and fans are inferior How I balance between the streets and the theories of Collegiate literature, I hold mirrors up Give combination's of pain, joy, fear, and love Through my perspective I can see Jah reflection In the highest definition getting high with my brethren Could've asked us why Africans dying from circumcision They lack proper surgeons, suffer malnutrition Underestimate the wealth of their own wisdom It's like it's been exchanged for this penicillin [Chorus: x2] |

The Earth was flat if you went too far you would fall off Now the Earth is round if the shape change again everybody woulda start laugh The average man can't prove of most of the things that he chooses to speak of And still won't research and find out the root of the truth that you seek of Scholars teach in Universities and claim that they're smart and cunning Tell them find a cure when we sneeze and that's when their nose start running And the rich get stitched up, when we get cut Man a heal dem broken bones in the bush with the wed mud Can you read signs? can you read stars?

Everything on the planet we preserve and can it Microwaved it and try it No matter what we'll survive it What's hu? what's man? what's human? Anything along the land we consuming Eatin', deletin', ruin Trying to get paper Gotta have land, gotta have acres So I can sit back like Jack Nicholson Watch niggas play the game like the lakers In a world full of 52 fakers Gypsies, seances, mystical prayers You superstitious? throw salt over your shoulders Make a wish for the day cuz Like somebody got a doll of me Stickin' needles in my arteries But I can't feel it Sometimes it's like 'pardon me, but I got a real big spirit' I'm fearless.... I'm fearless Don't you try and grab hold of my soul It's like a military soldier since seven years old I held real dead bodies in my arms Felt their body turn cold, oh Why we born in the first place If this is how we gotta go?

[Chorus - x2]
Africa must wake up, the sleeping sons of Jacob For what tomorrow may bring, may a better day come, Yesterday we were kings, can you tell me young ones -- Who are we today? Yeah, now [Verse 1 - Nas (+ Damian Marley)] The black oasis, Ancient Africa the sacred The sleeping giant, science, art is your creation I dreamed that we could visit old Kemet Your history is too complex and rigid for some Western critics They want the whole subject diminished But Africa's the origin of all the world's religions We praise bridges that carried us over The battle fronts of Sudanic soldiers, the task put before us (Do you hear me now?) [Chorus] [Verse 2 - Nas] Who are we today? The slums, diseases, AIDS We need that all to fade, we cannot be afraid So who are we today? We are the morning after, the makeshift youth, The slaveship captured, our diaspora is the final chapter The ancestral lineage built pyramids America's first immigrants, the kings and daughters from our waters The first architect, the first philosophers Astronomers, the first prophets and the doctors were us, us [Bridge - Damian Marley] Now can we all pray? Each in his own way, Teaching and learning, We can work it out We'll have a warm bed, We'll have some warm bread, Shelter from the storm dread, And we can work it out Mother nature feeds all, In farming and drought And though selfish in ways, not to share is out What's a tree without root? Lion without tooth? A lie without truth? You hear me out? [Chorus - x2, but the second one is: Africa must wake up, The sleeping sons of Jacob, What tomorrow may bring, May some more love come, Yesterday we were kings, I tell ya young bloods, The world is yours today...] [K'naan - African verse (??)] [Guitar/Instrumental break] [Nas - talking] We want to thank y'all, everybody out there This is Nas, Damian Marley Distant Relatives.. We're all distant relatives, no matter where you from, where you live How near or far... Africa, China, Japan, Afghanistan, Israel... We're all fam, we're all distant relatives So that's why we came together -- one of the reasons Why myself and Damian came together, 'Cause we all come from one place, and that's Africa That's right, you too. And you. The whole world! We're all family, we're just spread out all over the place So to all my distant relatives, let's take it back home! |
