[Spoken Word Intro – Calm keys + ambient street sounds] (soft voice, emotional delivery — sounds of Sagamu in the background) > Where I’m from… Is Sagamu. Where young boys fight for their right, And lose their soul in the race. Where justice slow, but death fast. And the loudest voice is silence. But now… with new rulers, We dey hope say every storm go calm. For every youth wey don fall… this one na for you. Khennie Kriss.
