(with Damian Marley)




[Nas - Speaking:]

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 1x - Damian Marley]

When the Armageddon's dark and dread 

A lot of weak are to 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 are to wither and moan 

Only the strong will continue 

I know you have it in you 

I know you have it in you 



[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 in a ya own shoeses Either you're winning or losing 

don't you get it confused 

Tay you starring in a ya own movie 

playing of a role you choose so

Stand up and fight if you know say you're right and no you won't ever 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 gun all di sprinklers and he tell him bust my gat tougher than Zeus 



[CHORUS 1x - Damian Marley]

When the Armageddon's dark and dread 

A lot of weak are to 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 are to wither and moan 

Only the strong will continue 

I know you have it in you 

I know you have it in you 



[Nas]

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 coz in life you cannot press rewind 

Get it right. 

You only have one first chance to make one first impression that lasts a lifetime 

Reputations to proceed 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 evils felt but faith is stronger 

I saw grown men fall when I was a youngster 

But I clenched my fist 

Ready to go against whoever Tie my Timb's and rise in the end 



[CHORUS 1x - Damian Marley]

When the Armageddon's dark and dread 

A lot of weak are to 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 are to wither and moan 

Only the strong will continue 

I know you have it in you 

I know you have it in you 



[Damian Marley]

No man live forever 

but never say never 

Every goodie want better, 

just be a go getter 

And always be clever 

in every endeavour 

Coz drastic time call for drastic measure 

Your girl try to pleasure 

from ya neighbours things severe 

The land and the treasure 

work for whatever 

Jah say 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 colour they are 

Will never let you down no matter 

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 2x - Damian Marley]

When the Armageddon's dark and dread 

A lot of weak are to 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 are to wither and moan 

Only the strong will continue 

I know you have it in you 

I know you have it in you 



[Nas - Talk:]

As the weak shall fall to the sideline 

I get my kid 

I protect mine with a tech 9 

Haters want me to side with em 

Gangsters want me to ride with em 

Ladies want me to make brides with em 

I'm on a low I'm in the zone every evening 

I'm in the zone every evening walk through the valley of death 

I'm still breathing 

Give a bit of life to your ethylene 

Thief in the night like 

America seen 

Coming through in the zone every evening 

In the zone every evening 

I know the strong will survive
