Strong Will Continue - Damian "Junior Gong" Marley
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 When the Armageddon's dark and dread A lot of weak-hearted weep and moan Only the strong will continue Do you have it in you? Come, we've got a journey to go And when the battle get sour and dread A lot of weak-hearted wither and moan Only the strong will continue I know you have it in you I know you have it in you Hey, the victory's found in truth Like innocence found in youth Self-defeat is your own dispute And, man, you put yourself in your own shoes Either you're winning or losing Don't you get it confused 'Cause you're starring in your own movie Playing of the role you choose, so Stand up and fight if you know that 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 Hold down all the sprinklers on Mt. Olympus My god's tougher than Zeus When the Armageddon's dark and dread (I get up and make it happen) A lot of weak-hearted weep and moan (I get up and we get it cracking) Only the strong will continue Do you have it in you? Come, 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 of weak-hearted 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 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-skinned, the dark won't take my soul Survived 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 When the Armageddon's dark and dread (I get up and make it happen) A lot of weak-hearted weep and moan (I get up and we get it cracking) Only the strong will continue Do you have it in you? Come, 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 of weak-hearted 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 No man live forever, but never say never Every good he want better, just be a go-getter And always be clever in every endeavor The drastic time call for drastic measure Your girl tied to pleasure from your neighbor since ever The land and the treasure work for whatever Just don't be a beggar, the Alpha Omega Will bless every soul no matter which name you prefer The immortal stepper believe in every skin No matter which color they are Would never let, Him not care which kind of weather You're destined to rise like the Son of Rebbecca 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 When the Armageddon's dark and dread (I get up and make it happen) A lot of weak-hearted weep and moan (I get up and we get it cracking) Only the strong will continue Do you have it in you? Come, 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 of weak-hearted 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 I know you have it in you I'm a street-lifer always harassed by the C ciphers Chief like Geronimo with his peace pipe I emerge from the street life This for the homies who relate, know what it be like My QB life takin' a turn to the Louis the Thirteenth life Twisted and mangled sort of like Bruce Lee life Cursed with his son Brandon, if that's you and me tonight I pray our fate's greater I speak life, I still matter as a rapper, not doubtin' Even Toni Braxton signed a deal with Craig Cowman How in the hell am I supposed to stay comfy When I pay child-support, alimony monthly? Got Maseratis and Ferraris Only like a woman who's a rider, but only hos want me Single life crazy, niggas wives on me I say stay faithful, they say they man connin' So I'm stuck with some married woman so fine Cheatin' while they husband is rushin' on the forty-yard line Wonder if this is what my ex did the whole time Good niggas always seem to end up with some hard times Hope not, if a pimp slippin' in a ho plot Ain't nothin' to a G in a two-tone drop Kid, and it don't stop See a nigga disappearin' with the baddest honies in the whole spot, yeah
