歌詞
[Verse 1]
And it was written
Up in the book of life
That man shall
Endure forever more
[Verse 2]
And it was written
Up in the book of life
That man shall
Endure forever more
[Verse 3]
Well did you know the pen
Is stronger than di knife
And they can kill you once
But they can't kill you twice
Did you know destruction of di flesh is not di ending of 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 to ah Zion and wear jerry curls
Can't tell di boys from di girls
Your body's just a vehicle
Transporting your soul
It's 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
[Verse 4]
And it was written
Up in the book of life
That man shall
Endure forever more
[Verse 5]
And it was written
Up in the book of life
That man shall
Endure forever more
[Verse 6]
The one ya name, fear is in the eyes 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 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
[Verse 7]
A vest around his chest and Rastafari is his name
A gift of everlasting life for us to all 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 runs thru my veins
[Verse 8]
The one ya name, fear is in the eyes of the 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
And him never crucify as nuh Savior
Elect off himself inna the ruler
Babylon an noh malfunction well dem a failure
So be careful of dem cellular and pager
Cause as I sign see dem, I see danger
So dem but Selaisse I greater, yo
[Verse 9]
That man shall
Endure forever more
And it was written
Up in the book of life
[Verse 10]
That man shall
Endure forever more
[Verse 11]
He did mi wanna lick upon shots
Upon a blood clot
And fill a block with bum rush cops
Cops mi din talk you, you know you watch me walk
While black woman is getting raped across New York
Before little brother's in chalk and
Imagine somebody say, that's your son dead, see him?
See us
We do the crime, we do the time
Y'all get away scott free
So police mi gonna pop before you pop me
Cause if you get me, you got me you shot me, no lock me
Carry shotty's since mom slapped me cause my room sloppy
The youngest **** out the camp is me
But nobody pampered me
So you better don't ramp with me
Fi see me, don't play plenty
Chicks me blazed many
Raised plenty fi dollars
Storm upon me Prada
Watch a bum holla
Watch him run, hit the floor
Told him, come, come no
Throw your guns up pon di air
Blow
[Verse 12]
And it was written
Up in the book of life
That man shall
Endure forever more
[Verse 13]
So watch for sticks and stones
Stumbling blocks in piles
Life is one big road
Miles on top of miles
So blessed by the soul that always remains a child
When most people don't even smile
There's a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
So keep it realistic
And always be aware
The truth is crying out
And it's so loud and so clear
But most people won't even hear
Spiritual pollution in the atmosphere
And with so much confusion
Can one be happy here
The gift of Rastafari is for all men to share
But some would rather to be so unfair
[Verse 14]
And it was written
Up in the book of life
That man shall
Endure forever more
[Verse 15]
And it was written
Up in the book of life
That man shall
Endure forever more
[Verse 16]
And it was written
Up in the book of life
That man shall
