Strong Will Continue
All I do is stay focused, looking straight forward at the world and beyondI feel people pulling me downI feel some pulling me up; I can't get stuckI just keep moving forwardI got places to go, manLet's go
When the Armageddon's dark and dreadA lot of weak-hearted weep and moanOnly the strong will continueDo you have it in you?Come, we've got a journey to goAnd when the battle get sour and dreadA lot of weak-hearted wither and moanOnly the strong will continueI know you have it in youI know you have it in you
Hey, the victory's found in truthLike innocence found in youthSelf-defeat is your own disputeAnd, man, you put yourself in your own shoesEither you're winning or losingDon't you get it confused'Cause you're starring in your own moviePlaying of the role you choose, soStand up and fight if you know that you're right and know you will never failTipping the scale and the wind shall prevail and the boat shall forever sailHey, there ain't no stopping or cruisingEven when you're battered and bruisedHold down all the sprinklers on Mt. OlympusMy god's tougher than Zeus
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 continueDo you have it in you?Come, we've got a journey to goAnd 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
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of deathNew York to Cali for the money, power, respectIt's a journey; some'll get left behind'Cause in life you cannot press rewindGet it right: you only have one first chanceTo make one first impression that lasts a lifetimeReputation supersedes itselfDo you believe in Hell? Babylon greed for wealthDo you deceive yourself and let your ego swellAnd disregard those who most need your help?Thick-skinned, the dark won't take my soulSurvived spiritual wars, see my welts?And the evil's felt, but the faith is strongerI saw grown men fall when I was a youngsterBut I clench my fists ready to go against whoeverTie my Timbs and rise in the end
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 continueDo you have it in you?Come, we've got a journey to goAnd 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
No man live forever, but never say neverEvery good he want better; just be a go-getterAnd always be clever in every endeavorThe drastic time call for drastic measureYour girl tied to pleasure from your neighbor since everThe land and the treasure--work for whateverJust don't be a beggar; the Alpha OmegaWill bless every soul no matter which name you preferThe immortal stepper believe in every skinNo matter which color they areWould never let; Him not care which kind of weatherYou're destined to rise like the Son of RebbeccaDon't stop for a secondEvery man reckon it sure would be good to be thereWhether Zion or MeccaWhen the gates are finally closedAnd the saints go marching in
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 continueDo you have it in you?Come, we've got a journey to goAnd 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 (only the strong will continue)I know you have it in youI know you have it in you
