Dead Prez - It Was Written
(blazin)
(hook)x2
and it was written;
up in the book of life.
the demension;
and your're forever more.
did you know the plan,
is stronger than the knife.
they can kill ya once,
but they can't kill ya twice.
did you know the structure of the flesh is not the ending to life,
fear not of the anti-christ.
did you know that time,
exist before the earth.
and did you know my eyes,
are windows to the world.
did you know you can go high as an witch and recurse,
gaurdin the boys from the curse.
your bodie's just a feacle,
tranporting 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 free marcus garvis and 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.
i fast enough because yo,
they wanna rewrite me history.
i made him a lot of mystery.
cuz 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.
isaditan.
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.
