Nas and Damian Marley- Strong Will Continue Original/Unreleased Version

This was the original version that Nas wanted to appear on Distant Relatives but his record company wouldn't allow it because of the reference to Kelis. The song was kept alive. Enjoy. Not full quality on youtube so pm me if want song

The last verse by Nas is the only difference in this version from the album version

Lyrics

(Nas)
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) -- Damian Marley)
When the Armageddon start get dread
A lot of weak are to weep and moan
Only the strong will continue
do you have it in you?
'Cause we've got a journey to go
And when the battle get sour and dread
A lotta weak heart a 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)

(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 navel string sever
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 leather
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)

(Nas)
I'ma street lifer, always harassed by the C-Ciphers
Chief-like, Geronimo with his peace pipe
I emerged from the street life
This for the homies who relate, know what it be like
My QB life
Taken and turned to the Louie XIII light
Twisted and mangled sorta like Bruce Lee life
Cursed with his son Brandon, if that's you and me Knight
I pray our fate's greater
I speak like I still matter as a rapper, not doubting...
Even Toni Braxton signed a deal with Craig Kallman
How in, the hell am I supposed to stay comfy?
When I pay child support, alimony, monthly?
Got Maserati's & Ferrari's
Only like a woman whose a rider, but only hoes want me
Single life crazy
Niggas wives on me
I say 'stay faithful,' they say 'their man corny'
So I'm stuck with some married woman, so fine
Cheating while their husband rushing on the 40 yard line
Wonder if, this is what my ex did the whole time
Good niggas seem to always end up with some hard times, hope not
If a pimp slippin' in a hoe plot, ain't nothing to it G
In a two-tone drop, kid
And it don't stop, see a nigga disappearing with the baddest honey's in the whole spot
Yeah
