| [Verse 1:] | |
| I know some people might not understand me | |
| I might not go number 1 or win a grammy | |
| But uh | |

| Every word I?m about to say | |
| I feel is needed | |
| So let me talk about the things that?s goin on (going on) | |
| The war is over but the troops ain?t home | |

| I?m not here to argue | |
| Just put you up on game | |

| They takin pictures in broad daylight | |
| Don?t let the system trick you into nothing else | |
| Please | |
