Battle Goes On

I say the battle goes on well yeah

I say the battle goes on oh yeah

I say the battle goes on well yeah

Say life nowadays is getting rougher

To survive in this time, man you haffe tougher

Life nowadays is getting much rougher,

It seems the more you try nuff times it's the more you suffer,

Well finding a job it ain't easy, its so hard

Nuff people have the content fe collect welfare in dem yard

And many discouraged seems like they're getting nowhere

Thinking about where they are and the struggle to get there

But you haffe hold on, hold onto your faith my bredren

Hold on to your strength my sisdren

For this is only the beginning

The beginning of the ending,

Say the battle goes on between good and evil

The battle goes on between good and evil,

Lord and what a whole heap a trouble,

No make Rastafari catch you a stumble

Makes no sense to fumble, ain't no time fe grumble,

Well nuff, nuff mother and dem pickney can't get a where fe live

Baby father still can't get a work, so there's not much to give

Say stress and depression, come like a permanent state

Hard drugs and alcohol dem only means of escape

So many of my bredrens dem sitting in a jail cell,

Victims of a racial profile, now dem living in a hell,

And many wondering what the future holds,

Cause when they take a look, Lord it looks so cold

But you haffe hold on, hold on to your faith my bredren,

Hold on to your strength my sisdren, for this is only the beginning,

The beginning of the ending,

So the battle goes on between good and evil

The battle goes on between good and evil,

Lord and what a whole heap a trouble,

No make Rastafari catch you a stumble

Makes no sense to fumble, ain't no time fe grumble

Well nuff, nuff mother and dem pickney can't get a where fe live

Baby father still can't get a work, so there's not much to give

Say stress and depression, come like a permanent state

Hard drugs and alcohol dem only means of escape, escape

So many of my bredrens dem sitting in a jail cell,

Victims of a racial profile, now dem living in a hell,

And many wondering what the future holds,

Cause when they take a look, Lord it looks so cold

But you haffe hold on, hold on to your faith my bredren,

Hold on to your strength my sisdren, for this is only the beginning,

The beginning of the ending,

So the battle goes on between good and evil

The battle goes on between good and evil,

Lord and what a whole heap a trouble,

No make Rastafari catch you a stumble

Ain't no time fe fumble, makes no sense to grumble

Able forces are mobilized, talk bout dem a globalize

Inna dem new world order, poor man living getting harder and harder

poor man living getting harder and harder

poor man living getting harder and harder

In dem ya perilous times, man you haffe make up your mind

Look unto the East, or accept the mark of the beast

Black people, better you look unto the East or accept the mark of the beast

Without that there'll be no buy and sell, in dem there down coming

living hell

There'll be no buy and sell, in dem there down coming

living hell

Woulda make you come like nothing, with just a press of a button

Take way your food and you house, with just a click of a mouse, yeah
