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
