It Was Written
ChorusStephen Marley:And it was writtenUp in the book of lifeCause the man shallEndure forever more(Repeat)
Verse 1Damian Marley:Well did you know the penIs stronger than di knifeAnd they can kill you onceBut they can't kill you twiceDid you destruction of di flesh is not di ending to lifeFear not of the anti-christDid you know that IExist before the earthAnd did you know my eyesAre windows to the worldDid you know you can't go a Zion and a wear jheri curlsCan't tell the boys from the girlsThe body's just a vehicleTransporting the soulIt's what's inside the peopleIs beauty to beholdFear not of evilEveryday dem flesh it grow oldChanges of the time take the toll

Verse 5Drag-on:Watch for sticks and stonesStumbling blocks in pilesLife is one big roadMiles on top of milesSo blessed be the soulThat always remains a childAnd most people don't even smileThere's a natural mysticBlowing in tru the airSo keep it realisticAnd always be awareThe truth is crying outAnd it's so loud and so clearBut most people won't even hearSpiritual pollution is in the atmosphereAnd with so much confusionCan one be happy hereThe gift of Rastafari is for all man to shareBut some would rather to be so unfair
Chorus
