Ted James - Strong Will ContinueIntro: Ted JamesAll we do is stay focusedLooking straight forward at the challenge and beyondWe feel the one percent pulling us downWe've gotta keep pulling each other upWe can’t get stuckWe've gotta keep moving forwardWe’ve got places to go, y'allLet’s get itChorus: Damian MarleyWhen the armageddon's dark and dreadA lot of weak hearted weep and moanOnly the strong will continueDo you have it in you?Come, we've got a journey to goAnd when the battle get sour and dreadA lot of weak hearted wither and moanOnly the strong will continueI know you have it in youI know you have it in youVerse One: Damian MarleyHey, the victory's found in truthLike innocence found in youthSelf defeat is your own disputeAnd man, you put yourself in your own shoesEither you're winning or losingDon't you get it confusedPlay a star and you know your own moviePlaying of the role you choose, soStand up and fight if you know that you're rightAnd know you will never failTipping the scale and the wind shall prevailAnd the boat shall forever sailHey, there ain't no stopping or cruisingEven when you're battered and bruisedOutrun all the sprinters on Mount OlympusMy God's tougher than ZeusChorus: Damian MarleyWhen the armageddon's dark and dreadA lot of weak hearted weep and moanOnly the strong will continueDo you have it in you?Come, we've got a journey to goAnd when the battle get sour and dreadA lot of weak hearted wither and moanOnly the strong will continueI know you have it in youI know you have it in youVerse Two: Ted JamesFirst came Friedrichs, then came JanusKoch Brothers want unions sunk like AtlantisIt’s madness, they wanna take away fair shareWe don't care, we just prepareMake a fist and throw it straight up in the airWorking people, we ain't going nowhereWe're right here, fighting for a better dayThis movement won't die when we organize our wayFrom cornered to growing to warding off attacksFrom mourners to showing solidarity won't crackWe're the 99 percent and they can't compete with thatWhen we fight and don't relent, together we can packThe halls of government and overcome their greed, in factTogether we can lead the charge to bring democracy backSo no matter how hard, and no matter how longWe will win if we are strongChorus: Damian MarleyWhen the armageddon's dark and dreadA lot of weak hearted weep and moanOnly the strong will continueDo you have it in you?Come, we've got a journey to goAnd when the battle get sour and dreadA lot of weak hearted wither and moanOnly the strong will continueI know you have it in youI know you have it in youVerse Three: Damian MarleyNo man live forever, but never say neverEvery good he want better, must be a go getterAnd always be clever in every endeavorCause drastic time call for drastic measureYuh birthright to pleasure From yuh navel string severThe land and the treasure, work for whateverJah said don't be a beggar, the Alpha OmegaWill bless every soul no matter which name you preferThe immortal stepper, believe in every skin no matter which color they areWe never let we don't know here which kind of weatherYou're destined to rise like the Son of RebeccaDon't stop for a secondEveryone reckon, it sure would be good to be thereWhether Zion or MeccaWhen the gates are finally closedAnd the saints go marching inChorus: Damian MarleyWhen the armageddon's dark and dreadA lot of weak hearted weep and moanOnly the strong will continueDo you have it in you?Come, we've got a journey to goAnd when the battle get sour and dreadA lot of weak hearted wither and moanOnly the strong will continueI know you have it in youI know you have it in youVerse Four: Ted JamesWhen the union’s inspiration through the workers’ blood shall runThere can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sunWe ain't done, we're just getting startedLabor resuregence taking flight, we've just departedFlying over greener pastures and waters unchartedTo reclaiming the wealth that the rich have bogartedOur resolve aint stealth but they don't see us comingTheir arrogance and greed can be quite a shortcomingSo we're building up this movement greater than their hoarded goldGreater than the might of armies magnified a thousand foldWatch us as we birth the new world from the ashes of the oldAnd make a future so bright it's a sight to beholdWhen we stand up and fight we can right any wrongOn the long path to justice, arm in arm, we march alongSolidarity forever (forever ever) forever longWe're unbreakable togerher for the union makes us strong© 2018 Millinium VII Entertainment
