Well did you know the pen 
Is stronger than di knife 
And they can kill you once 
But they can't kill you twice 
Did you [bad word] of di flesh is not di 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 a Zion and a wear jheri curls 
Can't tell the boys from the girls 
The body's just a vehicle 
Transporting the soul 
It's what's inside the people 
Is beauty to behold 
Fear not of evil 
Everyday dem flesh it grow old 
Changes of the time take the toll

Verse 5 
Drag-on: 
Watch for sticks and stones 
Stumbling blocks in piles 
Life is one big road 
Miles on top of miles 
So blessed be the soul 
That always remains a child 
And most people don't even smile 
There's a natural mystic 
Blowing in [bad word] the air 
So keep it realistic 
And always be aware 
The [bad word] is crying out 
And it's so loud and so clear 
But most people won't even hear 
Spiritual pollution is in the atmosphere 
And with so much confusion 
Can one be happy here 
The gift of Rastafari is for all man to share 
But some would rather to be so unfair 
 [bad word]
