It Was Written Lyrics

Chorus



And it was written 

up in the book of lights

theres and mansion and your forever more

And it was written 

up in the book of lights

theres and mansion and your forever more



Verse 1



Well did you know the pen was stronger than the knife

and they can kill you once but they cant kill you twice

did you know destruction of the flesh is not the ending to life

fear not of thee 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 a Zion and a wear jerry curls

Cant tell the boys from the girls

Ya body just a vehicle transporting your soul

Its what inside the people is beauty to behold

Fear not of evil

Everyday them fleshed growed

Changes of the times they get told



Chorus



And it was written 

up in the book of lights

theres and mansion and your forever more

And it was written 

up in the book of lights

theres and mansion and your forever more



Verse 2

Me say me want 

Freedom, justice, equality

As it was written on the book of lights and sociality

Me want fa big up Marcus Garvey say me big up Huey P

Me na want no brutality in a me reality



I can see it in the signs everyday I live

Its clear to ma mind somthin getta give

The system is the problem but it aint just gonna change

The people got to fight as one and break free from the chains

We livin in a time where whitey got us corned

Shackles on the brain police on every corner

They lookin for some soldiers but they so hard to find 

My elders say be patient cause things come in time

Not fast enough because 



They want fa rewrite ma history and make the motherland a mystery

cause we to strong fa them to dis we

because if it wasn’t how it is then it would definitely be

because the days is up

blaze it up

AFRICAN WARRIOR raise it up 

Push it up

Fill up ya cup

We had enough so we’re gonna buck

Now is the time open ya mind

Then you will find its a design

You matter what you do no one can stop the time

Don’t want no KKK no CIA no brutality

Ghetto youths and RBG we ridin fa liberty

Been here before the start still here after it’s over

And its written in the heart of every soldier



Chorus



And it was written 

up in the book of lights

theres and mansion and your forever more

And it was written 

up in the book of lights

theres and mansion and your forever more
