Verse 2 (Journalist 103)

I wake up in the morning burdened by the world's drama
From the war on drugs to world hunger
From my brothers and sisters being murdered in Gaza
To the children in my hood shot dead on the corner
So I pray for good health as well as endurance
So I can help lead my people up out of this torment
I got responsibilities to be totally honest
I got a mission to complete even if I don't want it
Steady I'm haunted by the conscious of right deeds
They help guide me in the land of the trife thieves
My heart bleeds as I'm stabbed by the knife of oppression
Cause the words I'm expressin' deliver a message
Manifestion of realness as the world turns
You can witness the devil's lies, souls burn
Now it's our turn, to carry the torch
Of our predecessors in the booth as we stand firm
