Strong Will Continue

[Intro: Nas]

All I do is stay focused

Looking straight forward at the world and beyond

I feel people pulling me down

I feel some pulling me up

I can't get stuck

I just keep moving forward

I got places to go, man

Let's go

[Chorus: Damian Marley]

When the armageddon's dark and dread

A lot a weak heart a weep and moan

Only the strong will continue, do you have it in you?

Cah, we've got a journey to go

And when the battle get sour and dread

A lot of weak heart a wither and moan

Only the strong will continue, I know you have it in you

I know you have it in you

[Verse 1: Damian Marley]

Hey, the victory's found in truth

Like innocence found in youth

Self-defeat is your own dispute

And man, you put yourself inna your own shoes

Either you're winning or losing

Don't you get it confused

Play a star and you know your own movie

Playing of the role you choose, so

Stand up and fight if you know seh you're right

And know you will never fail

Tipping the scale and the wind shall prevail

And the boat shall forever sail

Hey, there ain't no stopping or cruising

Even when you're battered and bruised

Outrun all the sprinters on Mount Olympus

My God's tougher than Zeus

[Chorus: Damian Marley & Nas]

When the Armageddon's dark and dread (Uh, I get up and make it happen)

A lot a weak heart a weep and moan (Uh, uh, I get up and we get it cracking)

Only the strong will continue, do you have it in you?

Cah, we've got a journey to go

And when the battle get sour and dread (I get up and I get it going)

A lot a weak heart a wither and moan (We get up and we keep it flowing)

Only the strong will continue (Yeah), I know you have it in you (Yeah, yeah)

I know you have it in you

[Verse 2: Nas]

Uh, as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

New York to Cali, for the money, power, respect

It's a journey, some'll get left behind

'Cause in life, you cannot press rewind

Get it right, you only have one first chance

To make one first impression that lasts a lifetime

Reputation supersedes itself

Do you believe in Hell? Babylon greed for wealth

Do you deceive yourself and let your ego swell?

And disregard those who most need your help

Thick skin, the dark won't take my soul

Survive spiritual wars, see my welts

And the evil's felt, but the faith is stronger

I saw grown men fall when I was a youngster

But I clench my fists, ready to go against whoever

Tie my Timbs and rise in the end

[Chorus: Damian Marley & Nas]

When the Armageddon's dark and dread (Uh, I get up and make it happen)

A lot a weak heart a weep and moan (Uh, uh, I get up and we get it cracking)

Only the strong will continue, do you have it in you?

Cah, we've got a journey to go

And when the battle get sour and dread(I get up and I get it going)

A lot a weak heart a wither and moan (We get up and we keep it flowing)

Only the strong will continue (Yeah), I know you have it in you (Yeah, yeah)

I know you have it in you

[Verse 3: Damian Marley]

Huh, no man live forever, but never say never

Every good, he wan' better, just be a go-getter

And always be clever in every endeavor

'Cuh drastic time call for drastic measure

Yuh birthright to pleasure from yuh navel string sever

The land and the treasure, work for whatever

Jah said don't be a beggar, the Alpha Omega

Wi' bless every soul no matter which name you prefer

The immortal stepper

Believe in every skin no matter which color they are

We never let we don't know here which kind of weather

You're destined to rise like the Son of Rebecca, don't stop for a second

Every man reckon, it sure would be good to be there

Whether Zion or Mecca

When the gates are finally closed

And the saints go marching in

[Chorus: Damian Marley & Nas]

When the Armageddon's dark and dread (Uh, I get up and make it happen)

A lot a weak heart a weep and moan (Uh, uh, I get up and we get it cracking)

Only the strong will continue, do you have it in you?

Cah, we've got a journey to go

And when the battle get sour and dread(I get up and I get it going)

A lot a weak heart a wither and moan (We get up and we keep it flowing)

Only the strong will continue (Only the strong will continue), I know you have it in you (Have it in you)

I know you have it in you

[Verse 4: Nas]

I'm a street lifer, always harrassed by the cee ciphers

Chief like Geronimo with his peace pipe

I emerged from the street life

This for the homies who relate, know what it be like

My QB life takin' a turn to the Louis XIII life

Twisted and mangled sort of like Bruce Lee life

Cursed with his son Brandon

If that's you and me, Knight, I pray our fates greater

I speak life, I still matter as a rapper, not doubtin'

Even Toni Braxton signed a deal with Craig Kallman

How in, the hell am I supposed stay comfy

When I pay child support, alimony monthly?

Got Maseratis and Ferraris

Only like a woman who's a rider, but only ho's want me

Single life crazy, niggas wives on me

I say "Stay faithful," they say their man corny

So I'm, stuck with some married woman, so fine

Cheatin while they husband rushing on the 40-yard line

Wonder if this is what my ex did the whole time

Good niggas seem to always end up with some hard times, hope not

If a pimp slippin and a ho plot

Ain't nothin to a G in a two-tone drop, kid

And it don't stop, see a nigga dissapearin'

With the baddest honeys in the whole spot, yeah
