Lyrics
(Blazin)
(Hook)x2 And it was written; Up in the book of life That man shall; Endure forever more
Well did you know the pen Is stronger than the knife And they can kill ya once But they can't kill ya twice Did you know distruction of the flesh is not the 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 can't go ah zion and ah wear jerry curls Can't tell di boys from di girls Your body's just a vehicle Transporting your soul It's what's inside the people Is beauty to behold Fear not of evil Everyday the flesh It grow old Changes of the times Take a toll
(Hook)x2
Me say me want, freedom Justice Equality As it was written in the book of life Then; So shall it be Me want to big up marcus garvey and me big up hughy p And me wanna know washality And I meant, reality
I see it in the signs Everyday I live It's clear to my mind Somethin' got to give The system is the problem But it ain't just gonna change The people got to fight as one To break free from the chains We livin in a time Where whitey got us cornered Shackles on the brain Police on every corner Lookin for some soldiers But they so hard to find My elders say be patient Cuz things come in time
Not fast enough because yo They wanna rewrite me history I made him a lot of mystery Cuz we too strong for them dis we Because it was And now it is And it will definetly be We know The days is up Blaze it up African warrior Raise it up Push it up Fill up your cup We had enough We gonna buck Now is the time Open your mind Then you will find It's a design No matter what you do No one can stop the time
And me want no Kkk, no cia, no Police brutality Ghetto youth and r.b.g.s We ridin for liberty Been here Before the start Still here After it's over And it's written in every heart Of every soldier
(Hook)til fade out
