[Eb] But did you [Em] know the pen is stronger than the knife?
And they can [C] kill you once, but they [Eb] can't kill you twice.
Did you [Em] know destruction of the flesh is not the end in the [C] life?
Fear not of the [Eb] Antichrist.
Did you [Em] know that I exist before the earth?
And did you [C] know my eyes are windows [G] to the world?
Did you [Em] know you can't go as I am and I wear cherry [C] curls?
Can't tell the voice [Eb] from the curse.
Your body's [Em] just a vehicle transporting your soul.
What's [C] inside of people is [G] beauty to behold.
Fear [Em] not of evil.
Every day them flesh is grown.
[C] Changes of the times [Eb] take a toll.
[Em] [C]
[G] [Em] [C]
[Eb] [Em] Obedience,
[G] [Em] Obedience.
[C]
[Em] No one can do.
Fear is in the eyes of the elder.
[C] And love is in the [G] presence of the love maker.
[Em] Life is in the words of the comforter.
[C] And you're much [Eb] stronger, live much [Em] longer.
Fear is in the eyes of the elder.
[C] And love is in the [Em] presence of the love maker.
Life is in the words of the comforter.
[C] And you're much [B] stronger, live much longer.
I bless the one who says the name of the Father.
I kiss the man for [Db] nothing.
I follow to what he says.
Blessing that you are the God.
Blessing that you are for God.
I ask that all of you come out.
Do you [Em] remember Elijah?
[E] And the showering of the flames?
Slimmed like a torch [D] on my face.
No one [E] can do.
Fear is in the eyes of the elder.
And love [B] is in the presence of the love maker.
[E] Life is in the words of the comforter.
[B] And you're much stronger, live much longer.
Fear is in the eyes of the [B] elder.
And love is in the presence of the love maker.
[E] Life is in the words of the comforter.
And you're much [Bm] stronger, live much longer.
Careful how you entertain [B] strangers.
See, I see never warning and danger.
[E] I never crucify as no savior.
He look at himself, [D] him as the ruler.
[Em] Cable and I malfunction with them a failure.
[C] So be careful of them cellular and pleasure.
[Em] Because as I see them, I see danger.
[C] So them great, but still [G] I say I great.
There you [Em] go.
[C]
[Eb] [Em] [C]
[G] [Em] [C]
[Em] You think you wanna lick upon shots,
upon a blood clot,
[Dm] and fill the block with bummer [Em] ass cops.
Cops, move on, talk,
you know you watch me walk, son.
While black woman is getting raped across New York, son.
Before I met the brothers in Chalk, son.
Imagine somebody said,
[D] that's just a dead sin.
[Em] See us, we do the crime, we do the time.
Y'all [C] get away scot-free.
So [Em] police, me don't pop you, for you pop me.
Cause if you hit me, you got me, you shot me.
[C] No lock me, carry shotty, [G] since mom slapped me.
Cause my [Em] room sloppy.
The youngest nigga out the camp is me.
[C] But nobody pampered me, so [Eb] you better don't rant with me.
[Em] For semi, me don't play plenty.
Chicks me blaze, mini, raise pennies to dollars.
[G] Storm might be trawler, watch a [Em] bum holler.
Watch him run, hit the floor.
Tell him, [C] come, come, no.
Throw your [Eb] guns up, on the air.
[Em] [C]
[G] [Em] [C]
So [Em] where the system comes,
from them black tin piles.
[C] Life is one big road,
[Eb] life on top of miles.
[Em] So blessed be the sun that always remains at [C] night.
When most people [Eb] don't even smile.
[Em] There's a natural instinct,
flowing through the air.
So [C] keep it realistic,
and [Eb] always be aware.
[Em] The truth is crying out,
and it's so loud and so [C] clear.
But most people [B] won't even hear.
[Em] Spiritual pollution,
in the atmosphere.
With [C] so much confusion,
can [G] one be at the air?
[Em] The crypt of Rastafari,
is for all man to [C] share.
But some would rather [Eb] to be so unfair.
[Em] And [C]
[G] [Em] I'm sure,
[C]
[B] [Em] [Am]
[G] [Em] I'm sure,
[C] [Eb] [Em] [C]
