It Was Written Lyrics
That man shall endure forever more
It was written up in the book of life
That man shall endure forever more
Is stronger than the knife
They can kill you once
But they canÕt kill you twice
Did you know destruction of the 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 window to the world
Did you know you can't go ah Zion
and ah wear jerry curls
Can't tell di boys from di girls
Your bodies just a vehicle
Transporting the soul
It's what's inside people
Is beauty to behold
Fear not of evil
Every day dem flesh it grow old
Changes of the times take a toll
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 dat run thru my veins
Stumbling blocks in piles
Life is one big road
Miles on top of miles
So blessed be the soul
That always remains a child
And most people don't even smile
There's a natural mystic
Blowing in true the air
So keep it realistic
And always be aware
The truth is crying out
And itÕs so loud and so clear
But most people won't even hear
Spiritual pollution is in the atmosphere
And with so much confusion
Can one be happy here
The gift of Rastafari is for all man to share
But some would rather to be so unfair






spiritual undertones that move me like no other..

To me the song is morwe like a reality check for people of the culture. A very deep if you are open to listen. I am very impressed with Damian.....Ziggy...Stephen....and especially Bob!

I have been to so many reggae shows in my life, and seen so many amazing musicians. Seeing Damian perform this song with Stephen at the Roots Rock Reggae Festival in Chicago this summer was one of the most amazing experiences ever. They extended the song so it was probably 10 to 12 minutes long. Stephen's guitar work just seemed so much more insane, and Damian's vocals were SO intense. At the end of the studio version of the song... it was that type of intensity only even more. I was so close to the stage, and ridiculously stoned, and I felt like the song literally took me captive and I couldnt stop dancing.
I would love to find an audio track of him performing this song live... does anyone know where I could find such a thing?

this song is great. if you like welcome to jamrock, then you should love this one ten times more!

listen to this song and learn. rastafari has so much hidden wisdom throughout its past that hasn't been exposed to the world. everyone can learn from them. so much sense in every aspect of their lifestyle, especially spiritually.

how the fuck do yall rasta muda fuckers know that this jah dude is yall king yall just dumb enough to listen to that shit thats why bob marley is in hell bitches

^^^^^angry much

Your bodies just a vehicle Transporting the soul It's what's inside people Is beauty to behold Fear not of evil
