[Verse 4]
Situation in this nation
Disposition, our condition
Unexplainable pain in our hearts not to mention
Brothers killing brothers for the wages adoration
Resolutions are made
For all we’ve made we lack conviction
And perfection is the order as we keep seeking solutions
Only God can solve, this mathematical equation.

[Outro]
Thanks for your contribution
Now any more question?
(No sir!)
