Nas & Damian Marley - Strong Will Continue

classic Nas + classic Marley = ... u already kno.

beat is cool...hook is nice, and verses are good...but this a song that i would put in med. rotation...

DAMIAN MARLEY HAS ALOT OF TALENT FROM PRODUCING THIS BEAT TO HIS HOOK,NAS WAS A NICE FIT WITH HIS THOUGHT PROVOKING LYRICS,I LIKE WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT THE KELIS SITUATION REAL TALK!!JUST LIKE THE TITLE SAYS NAS AND THE MARLEY LEGACY THE STRONG WILL SURVIVE!!!

I'm impressed that Damian produced this. And his hook really caught my ear. Actuallythis whole song was dope. Nas ripped it.

I love this, can't wait for the album! Check out the official single, "As We Enter", RAW!

Really diggin this one. Has a classic feel to it

Can't wait for this album

NAS IS BACK, This beat is epic, both artists put there hearts on this track. Love how the beat changes up and the tempo fluctuates, I might have this a classic rating, here goes nothing....

"...reverb-drenched electric-guitar riffs as Nas spits his own intricate brand of motivational lyricism, interweaving religious allusions with reflections on both the rewards and the unintended consequences of his lucrative hustle" - HUH? I felt like I was reading a College History textbook or some sh1t like that. Impressive vocab!!

as for the song, I prefer this over As We Enter, good verses, good hook, solid production, 4.5, D Marleys hook is powerful

Easily the best song to come off the album so far. The first version that leaked didn't have the closing verse from Nas, and the track's definitely better with it. This is the cut that really makes me excited about the project.

better than as we enter by far. enter by far was a banger- this is classic. dream combo, tight production from damian and dope rhymes from nas as always.

Dope

In five years from now, I'm still gon' be listening to this joint. Period.

Day one 2 copy album purchase.

Thanks, @1_O-TYME_1; I'm all about the SAT words. Hopefully I'm not as boring as your average history text.

I've been waiting for more Nas Marley since RTB. I love how every song off this project is different, but great in its own way. Post-Kelis Nas is like a renewed man.

awesome!awesome! damn this es gud

Awesome Track CLASSIC

Just release the project. No radio single needed... c'mon. I want this.

How can you not like this song Nas is still ill and Marley is classic. Nas has some of the sickest flows around.

[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!

[Damian Marley]
When the armageddon's dark and dread
a lot of weak hearted weep and moan
only the strong will continue
Do you have it in you?
Come, we've got a journey to go
and when the battle get sour and dread
a lot of weak hearted 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 will get left behind
cause in life, you cannot press rewind
get it right, you only have one first chance
to make one first impression that lasts a lifetime
Reputation supercedes 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 skin, the dark won't take my soul
survive spiritual wars, see my welts
and the evil's felt, but the faith is stronger
I saw grown men fall when I was a youngster
but I clench my fists, ready to go against whoever
tie my Timbs and rise in the end

[Damian Marley (Nas)]
When the armageddon's dark and dread
(I get up and make it happen)
A lot of weak hearted weep and moan
(I get up and we get it cracking)
Only the strong will continue
Do you have it in you?
Come, we've got a journey to go
And when the battle get sour and tread
(I get up and I get it going)
A lot of weak hearted wither and moan
(We get up and we keep it flowing)
Only the strong will continue (yeah)
I know you have it in you (yeah, yeah)
I know you have it in you

[Damian Marley]
No man live forever, but never say never
every good he want better, must be a go getter
and always be clever in every endeavor
now drastic time call for drastic measure
your girl try to pleasure from your neighbors, things sever
the land and the treasure, work for whatever
Jah said 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 color they are
We never let we don't know here which kind of weather
you're destined to rise like the Son of Rebecca
don't stop for a second
everyone 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

[Damian Marley (Nas)]
When the armageddon's dark and dread
(I get up and make it happen)
A lot of weak hearted weep and moan
(We get up and we keep it flowing)
Only the strong will continue (only the strong will continue)
I know you have it in you
I know you have it in you

[Nas]
Imma 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 and Ferrari’s
only like a woman whose a rider, but only h0es want me
single life crazy
n!ggas 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 n!ggas seem to always end up with some hard times, hope not
If a pimp slippin’ in a h0e plot, ain’t nothing to it G
in a two-tone drop, kid
And it don’t stop, see a n!gga disappearing with the baddest honey’s in the whole spot
Yeah!

This is just to good, Nas is simply the best lyricist of all time.

Damn

Aah I can't get enough of Nas.. man Marley absolutely killed this too, CANNOT wait for the album... aint' everybody?

If anyone ever wants to hear a Damian Marley x Plan B duet stop by my crib anytime I am playing this.

Nas's lyrics and damian's hook on point can't wait for the whole project 2 drop

Love this and also As we Enter, smart lyrics and beats, good production.

nas is the only true rapper nowadays

this song has Nas.....yeahh baby...mos def a classic.. i like it.

Nas killed it on this track.

good song, damian marley mixes in well with the beat/ nas's verses.

More incredible quality from Nas and Damian Marley puts this over the top.

simply classic :P

Perfection on every level.

Mr. Top Hat great job with the lyrics! The only line I question is "When the armageddon's dark and dread" a lot of lyrics sites are reporting it as such but being of Jamaican lineage I'm not hearing it.

As for the song itself I'm without adjectives to describe the feelings this song arouses. This is a single; but "As We Enter" is still fire.

yup

I saw them Jr Gong and Nas @ Jones Beach New York Rock Da Bells they were the headliners and brought the house down Damian and Nas together is a problem Build and Lift Jr. Gong and God Son

As perfect as perfect gets.

I can't find one bad thing about this song, CLASSIC!

it's ok, but not more then that.. sorry

Can't wait for this album, both artists are dope - I've enjoyed both leaks so far!

Does it deserve Classic....?

@*#$! it, it's Nas we're talking about here.
