So Strong (feat. Shaggy) - Stephen Marley featuring Mos Def

It started as a minor altercation The fire didn't need much acceleration I got no sympathy down the station Over thinking, over drinking, on the brink of breaking down What's wrong about what I've been doing? 'Cause I don't know what I've been doing wrong And when was it that I became foolish? 'Cause I don't know what a fool I've become I know I've done things so stupid And this is the stupidest thing I've done I've never had stronger feeling And now I don't feel that strong I'm back where I belong I'm back where I belong I never took the time to try and understand you And if I didn't tell you I wanted to thank you Oblivious I put you under so much pressure It's amazing, cause the same things happen over and over again What's wrong about what I've been doing? 'Cause I don't know what I've been doing wrong And when was it that I became foolish? 'Cause I don't know what a fool I've become I know I've done things so stupid And this is the stupidest thing I've done I've never had stronger feeling And now I don't feel that strong I'm back where I belong I'm back where I belong I'm back where I belong I'm back where I belong I'm back where I belong

You make me feel so young You make me feel like spring has sprung And every time I see you grin I'm such a happy individual The moment that you speak I wanna go play hide-and-seek I wanna go and bounce the moon Just like a toy balloon You and I are just like a couple of tots Running across the meadow Picking up lots of forget-me-nots You make me feel so young You make me feel there are songs to be sung Bells to be rung And a wonderful fling to be flung And even when I'm old and gray I'm gonna feel the way I do today 'Cause you make me feel so young You make me feel so young You make me feel like spring has sprung And every time I see you grin I'm such a happy individual The moment that you speak I wanna go and play hide-and-seek I wanna go and bounce the moon Just like a toy balloon You and I are just like a couple of tots Running across the meadow Picking up lots of forget-me-nots You make me feel so young You make me feel there are songs to be sung Bells to be rung And a wonderful fling to be flung And even when I'm old and gray I'm gonna feel the way I do today 'Cause you make me feel so young You make me feel so young You make me feel so young You make me feel so young

I've been gone awhile away from you, and I hope you overstand That I got to do what I must do to be a better man Cause if I was just to act the fool do nothing for myself Then all my blessings would be cursed my world would crumble in It's a joy when I sit down and think cause of the good things that we have And what we do to make it through when the good turns into bad Well I hope you find it in your heart and know these words are true And please don't fuss because I must go do what I must do Hey baby don't you worry, even though the road is rocky I'll be coming home to you again And if you thought that I was lost, I have to bear my cross Now I'm free from all these chains A time and space a different place a perfect we might be I would be the wind that blows you be that widow tree And I could never bear the thought of you not by my side So I would be the warmth of day, you'd be the cool of night And everyday I pray to Jah that one day you will see And overstand the fact I must fulfill my destiny I hope you find it in your heart and know these words are true And please don't cry you know that I must do what I must do Hey baby don't you worry, even though the road is rocky I'll be coming home to you again And if you thought that I was lost, I have to bear my cross Now I'm free from all these chains (Mos Def) Well then it's not easy, Jah knows how I try, I try. So don't you get weary (Oh God) Jah knows I tried And God knows, that life is one big road With alot of signs and turns and twist and curves Even though the road is rocky But maintain to ride and keep on rockin From, city to city backyard to yard And we, be seein the cites standin under the lights And the spot is hot it's cold and lonely at nights And I'm feenin and I'm dreamin and I'm holdin you tight But hold on, every single road I rode on Come to an end and I'm back home again So baby please don't cry Cause nobody knows and it's no bye bye bye And our love don't die with the passin of time It just grow more, it just keep strong And even though I'm gone I ain't movin too far Your the light through the dark shinnin right through my heart So my journey just start Hey baby don't you worry, even though the road is rocky I'll be coming home to you again And if you thought that I was lost, I have to bury my cross Now I'm free from all these chains And if you thought that I was lost, I have to bury my cross Now I'm free from all these chains

Just when I thought everything was good Friend I guess I misunderstood Thought that we had mutual respect Now I see the thanks that we get So be careful who you choose as your friends For they might let you down in the end Just when I thought, a real good friend I found They pick you up to let you down, yeah Them let you down down down They let you down down down Them let you down down down Down down down down down So my son always bear in mind A faithful friend is the hardest thing to find It is better an open enemy A false friend is the hardest thing to see 'Cause when times are good when the friends are plenty In times of trouble, we're not one in twenty Just when I thought, a real good friend I found They pick you up to let you down, ah We were friends, we were friends Real good friends, we were friends We were friends, we were friends And I remember when Just when I thought everything was good My friend I guess I misunderstood Thought that we had love and respect But now I see the thanks that we get So I'm careful who I choose as my friends For they might let me down in the end Just a thought, when I thought, when I thought Them let you down down down Them let you down down down Them let you down down down Down down down down down They let you down down down Them let you down down down Them let you down down down Down down down down down We were friends, we were friends Real good friends, real good friends We were friends, we were friends And I remember when were good friends Real good friends
