Lyrics Verse 1 Pretty gritty stare Donate hype and clear out chapels The glare of his voice box brings rust upon shrapnel Make listeners aware of your power Nastier than rabies influenced Rottweiler Blur behind blind curve beef no concern Concern chief weed to burn you want the mic it's not your turn In 1970, Doc Ellis pitched a no hitter on LSD For the Pittsburgh Pirates of the Major League Baseball; Irrelevant still depict and rip lessons Spontaneous and continuous obliteration All well what the hell In the dream well goals sunk fell downwards you rise and won't prevail Chisel bones In the catacomb of chrome where clones con concepts Create my speech and slay all my targets Hip hop's my ball, I handle like O.J. Mayo Write slay mental demons and eternally grow Sapphire thoughts paragraph's ruby silver speech gold tongue painting scholarly Chorus It's like another day Another penny Always hopeful keeping God motivation in me Is it truly you in these songs that you making Or are you a shy clone just emulating What you see and hear containing all types of fear I sprint the path of victory still see clear The vision lack nothing manifest substance Lack substance and manifest nothing Verse II Another day's work Another hard day memorizing my research Enlightenment of terror Razor scrape mascara Ideas thorough elite plus clever This that dark highway back road riding music use it Witness vicious thieves sending pitch forks through halos Spiritual chaotic woes I keep black ice under toes Spot babies left on highways for abortions Think better to live better it's important My Asian re-up came to my house tonight He said I had no life Said all I do is stay home record, read and write Dining room covered with manuscripts Documents flow pain & love in abundance The devil I wrap your neck around the noose kick the chair from under you your neck will break in two Chorus It's like another day Another penny Always hopeful keeping God motivation in me Is it truly you in these songs that you making Or are you a shy clone just emulating What you see and hear containing all types of fear I sprint the path of victory still see clear The vision lack nothing manifest substance Lack substance and manifest nothing

IN THAT MOMENT OF CLARITY
EXPLAIN TERROR OF A BRUTE FORCE
A WOMAN WALKS BACK AND THEN FORTH
EMOTIONS ERUPT TEARS FLUSH
HANDS WIPING EYES FROM MEMORIES HER MIND TOUCH
TRAGEDY SUCKS
SHE WANTED JUSTICE IN CORRUPTED REALMS OF INJUSTICE
BAGHDAD HOME COVERED IN FILTH
SHE WRITES HER LIFE ON WALLS OF ROOMS WITH A MAROON LIPSTICK
IN ARABIC AND FRENCH
WHAT THIS? LAHIB NOUMAN
AN ASSYRIAN LIVING IN BAGHDAD
RAISED CATHOLIC, 13 SIBLINGS, MOM AND DAD
SHE EARNED A LAW DEGREE FROM BAGHDAD UNIVERSITY
DRIVEN IN THAT MOMENT OF CLARITY.
THEN IT ALL SLIPPED, VEINS OF JOY RIPPED
WHILE PURSUING HER DOCTOR'S DEGREE A CAR ACCIDENT BROKE HER HIP.
HER SHOULDER GOT A CHIP BUT SHE RECOVERED
NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU DOING LAW CASES PRO BONO
HELPING THE LOCALS WITH A PURE SOUL IN THE WARZONE
BAGHDAD!
INSTEAD OF BEING REWARDED
SHE WAS CHASTISED, TORTURED, BEATEN THEN EXTORTED
BECAUSE SHE TOOK ON A CIVIL CASE
THINGS WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME
GAINED A LOSS OF FREEDOM STAINED WITH BLOOD
TWO DECADES OF HEARTACHE AND SHAME. EXPLAIN-
THE MAN IN COURT WHO LAHIB DEFENDED
WENT AGAINST SADDAM HUSSEIN'S HATEFUL AGENDA
RELATE TO HATE DARKER THAN SPACE
AND FACE A GREATER COURAGE EVEN HARDER TO TRACE
IN THAT MOMENT OF CLARITY
LAHIB STOOD AGAINST SADDAM HUSSEIN'S OLDEST SON
UDAY, BORN OUT OF INCEST AND MURDERED FOR FUN
IN THAT MOMENT OF CLARITY
SHE DEFENDED A MAN WHO WOULD NOT LET A DRUNK WHORE
IN HIS OWN HOTEL STORE
BUT THAT BROAD HAPPENED TO BE UDAY HUSSEIN'S WHORE
SHE WENT BACK AND TOLD
HAD THE MAN FRAMED, TORTURED AND TORN
CHARGED WITH ROBBERY
BUT LAHIB CONVINCED THE JURY
THE ACCUSATIONS FALSE YOU SEE
SHE WON THE CASE AND LAWFULLY HOPED TO BE RECEIVED.
UDAY HAD THE CASE OVERTHROWN
HE WAS A ASSHOLE WITH HIS NOSE IN A MOUNTAIN OF YAYO
BULLET VEST ACROSS CHESS LIKE RAMBO
POPS WAS THE EMPEROR, HE DID WHAT HE WANTED
BELLY-DANCERS, CARS, POWER, CIGARS IMPORTED
A CORRUPTED DUDE EVEN KILLED PEOPLE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL
NEVER CARED ABOUT THE COMMON PEOPLE
LAHIB,
STOOD BOLD, AND STRONG AND DIDN'T CARE
FOUGHT TYRANNY BUT HER LAW DEGREE DIDN'T MATTER OVER THERE
HOPE TARES!
THEY CALLED HE INSANE FOR GOING AGAINST THE HUSSEINS
NOW THEY ALL SAY YOU CUT YOUR OWN LIFE VEIN
AND SELFISHLY BY HER FAMILY SHE WAS ABANDONED
THEY FEARED FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY AND LEFT HER STRANDED
WHERE DICTATORS TRAMPLED
LEFT HER SOUL AND FREEDOM MANGLED
HELL, UDAY HAD HER THROWN IN JAIL
WHERE SHE LACKED A REASON FOR BREATHING CHARGED WITH TREASON
BEATEN TREATED LESS THAN A HUMAN BEING
STILL, SHE BELIEVED IN HOPE NEVER LET GO
HER SPIRIT IS MADE OF GOLD
IT WAS IN THAT MOMENT OF CLARITY
IN THAT MOMENT OF CLARITY
SHE HELD TRANQUILITY WRITING AWAY HER LIFE MISERY ON WALLS FOR ALL TO SEE
RELEASING THE PAIN
SO THE FUTURE CHILDREN COULD GAIN
BUT SHE EMBRACED NO LOVE
PRISON GUARDS MADE HER SIT ON BEER BOTTLES TILL IT FILLED UP WITH BLOOD
SHOCK THERAPY TREATMENTS
FROM ABOVE SOMEONE GAVE HER COURAGE WE DREAM OF
SHE WAS JAILED, RELEASED, JAILED, RELEASED
BUT NOT IGNORED
SHE WOULD GET OUT AND RIP DOWN HUSSEIN PICTURES IN STORES
PROTESTED AND BEATEN MORE
HER BONES WORE BRUISES WITH HER HALO WORN OUT BUT STILL GOOD UNDERSTOOD
SPITTING IN THE FACE OF INJUSTICE
HAD HER LIFE SNATCHED AND CORRUPTED
TAKING EACH FIST LIKE, "IS THAT THE BEST SHE CAN DO?"
TAKING EACH RAPE LIKE, "MY BODY WILL NEVER BELONG TO YOU"
THEN 2003 U.S. FORCES SET HER FREE
TORE DOWN THE MENTAL ASYLUM WHICH HELD HER IN CAPTIVITY
SHE FLED TO HER AL-GHADEER HOME
NOW ONLY HER WALLS MOAN
WRITING AWAY HER PAST PAIN WISHING TO BE LEFT ALONE
TRYING TO GET HER SOUL TO BECOME WHOLE
SADDAM' REGIME HAS ENDED NOW
SHE LIVING ON THE UPWARD BOUND
THE AMERICANS KILLED UDAY BUT HE GAVE SO MUCH PAIN NEVER TO FORGET
AND TO THIS DAY
UDAY AND LAHIB NEVER PERSONALLY MET
BRIGHT SUNSETS
SADDAM COULD HAVE BURIED THE SITUATION
BUT THE FAMILY'S MERCY GENE TOOK A PERMANENT VACATION
LAHIB WANTS TO BE FREE AND SMILE
AND IN THE NEXT LIFE LET UDAY KNOW "YOU TRIED TO STOP ME
& COULDN'T WHAT CAN YOU DO NOW!"
SHE FREE
AND IN THAT MOMENT OF CLARITY
SHE FOUND HOPE
DROPPED THE PEN FROM HER SUICIDE NOTE
IN THAT MOMENT OF CLARITY
SHE FOUND GOD AND EMBRACED THE ALMIGHTY
WRITING HER LIFE AWAY
WRITING HER LIFE AWAY
WRITING HER LIFE AWAY
SO WE COULD GAIN!!
