Lyrics

Once again, there are powerful lyrics within this song. Damian talks about the world being full of jealousy and calamity. Nas shows his eloquence with his verse, talking about what he sees today and what he saw in his past. in this world of clamity dirty looks and grudges and jelocy and police who in no bout virity :"Sometimes I can't help but feel helpless:"I'm having daymares in daytime:"Wide awake try to relate:"This can't be happening like I'm in a dream while I'm walkin,:"Cause what I'm seein is haunting,:"Human beings like ghost and zombies,:" President Mugabe holding guns to innocent bodies:"In Zimbabwe,:"They make John Pope seem godly,:"Sacrilegious and blasphemous

:"In my lifetime I look back at paths I've walked,:"Where savages fought and pastors taught,:"Prostitutes stomp in high heel boots,:"And badges screaming "Young black children stop or I will shoot!":"I look back at cooked crack,:"Plus cars that pass by,:"Jaguars mad fly,:"And I'm guilty for materialism,:"Blacks is still up in the prison, trust that,:"So save me your sorries, I'm raising an army,:"Revolutionary warfare with Damian Marley,:"We sparkin' the irons, marching to Zion,:"You know how Nas be NYC State Of Mind I'm in.
