Píseň: It Was Written

Interpret:
Damian Marley
Album:
Halfway Tree
Corus:
And it was written up in the book of life
'cause the man shall endure forever more (2x)


Well did you know the pen
is stronger then the knife
and they can kill you once
but they can't kill you twice
did you know destruction of the flesh
is not the ending the 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 wear a jheri curls
Can't tell the boys from the girls
the body is just a vehicle transporting
the soul it's what's inside
a people is beauty to behold
fear not of evil


everyday them flash it grow
old changes of the time take the toll


Chorus:
And it was written up in the book of life
'cause the man shall endure forever more (2x)


I won them fi in fury's in the eyes 
of di beholder a lovers in the presence
of the love maker rises in the words
of the comforter endure much longer
way much longer
Careful of your certain stranger
Selaisse never born in any danger
and them never crucify as new savior
he leck off himself inna the ruler


A vest around his chest and rastafari is his name
the gift of everlasting life
for us to all sustain lesson that
you all forgot lesson taught you all
forgot rasta call I shit you not


Rasta call I shit you not
do you remember elijah
and his chariot of flames
same blood that ruins through my vains


Fury's in the eyes of di beholder
a lovers in a presence of a love maker
rises in the words of the comforter
endure much longer way much longer (2x)


Careful of your end certain stranger
Selaisse never born in any danger
and them never crucify as new savior
he leck off himself inna the ruler
babylon nah function when them a failure
so be carefull of them cellular and pager
'cause I sign see them I see danger
so them gratefull selaisse I pray tay yo


Chorus:
And it was written up in the book of life
'cause the man shall endure forever more (2x)


hey dick you wanna lick upon shots
upon a bloodclot and fill the block
with bummer ass cops, cops me dun talk

woman is getting raped across new york sand
before another brother's in chalk

So police they gone pop you before you pop me
'cause if you get me you got me you shot me know'll

'cause my room sloppy

but nobody pampered me so you better

storm my impala watch a bum holla 
watch him rut hit the floor told him come
no more throw your ganja on the air


Chorus:
And it was written up in the book of life
'cause the man shall endure forever more (2x)
