That a man shall
Endure forever more

Verse 1
Damian Marley a.k.a Jr. Gong:
Well did you know the pen
Is stronger than di knife
And they can kill you once
But they cant 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 cant go ah Zion and ah wear jerry curls
Cant tell the boys from the girls
The bodys just a vehicle
Transporting the soul
Its whats inside the people
Is beauty to behold
Fear not of evil
Everyday dem flesh it grow old
Changes of the times take the toll
Chorus
(Repeat)
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
Careful how you entertain stranger
Selassie never born inna nuh manger
I'll never crucify as me savior
Elect off himself inna the ruler
Verse 3
Damian Marley a.k.a 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 how you entertain stranger
Selassie never born inna nuh manger
I'll never crucify as me savior
Elect off himself inna the ruler
Babylon ah nah malfunction well dem a failure
So be careful of dem cellular and pager
Cause I sign see dem I see danger
So dem grateful Selaisse I pray to you
That a man shall

Chorus
Verse 5
Drag-on:
Hey dick you wanna lick upon shots
Upon a bloodclot
And fill the block with bummer ass cops
Cops me dun talk you know you watch me walks in
My black woman is getting raped across New York sand
Before another brother's in chalk sand
I 'magine somebody said that just a dead sam
See us we do the crime we do the time
Y'all get away scott free
So police they gine 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 my impala
Watch a bum holla
Watch 'im run, hit the floor
Told 'im come, come no
Throw ya ganja pon de air
'plah!'

And it was written
Up in the book of life
That a man shall
Endure forever more
And it was written
Up in the book of life
That a man shall
Endure forever more (Capleton: Blaze it up Blaze it up)
And it was written (Capleton: Yeah yeah yeah)
Up in the book of life
