Lyrics:

I think you're a sucker if you stand there
In the midst of all this political fanfare
We're constantly fightin' to keep our rights
And the more we press on the more they tighten their grip

But I'm a soldier keepin' me from any rupture
Don't listen to the negative, it will only self-destruct ya
Blowin' a cloud of smoke? Yo, you must be on a mission
You wanna smoke somethin'? Smoke this one, smoke this one

Who will save the day?
(Lord have mercy)
Who will find a way?
(Lord have mercy)

Who will take away the strife?
(Lord have mercy)
Oh Lord, rescue me from this life
(Lord have mercy, mercy, mercy)

Who will be the leader?
In a government so corrupt, they get greedier and greedier
What happened to a government for the people, by the people?
What people? We ain't equal

Discriminated against for race, religion, education
And you call this a nation?
I'm here to tell ya, hey, there ain't a day
We should continue goin' on this way

Who will be responsible for teachin' the youth the truth?
Who's accountable for establishin' world peace?
Catch the thugs, get rid of the drugs
Cure the poor, when will the bullshit cease?

Think of what you wanna say no doubt
No one'll ever know you're stupid till you open your mouth
I'm callin' your bluff, it's time for a decision
But if you got more beef, smoke this one, smoke this one

Who will save the day?
(Lord have mercy)
Who will find a way?
(Lord have mercy)

Who will take away the strife?
(Lord have mercy)
Oh Lord, rescue me from this life
(Lord have mercy, mercy, mercy)

Who will save the day?
(Lord have mercy, mercy, mercy)
Who will find a way?
(Lord have mercy, mercy, mercy)

I'm the Queen by virtue of her guidance, show me
Guarded by the Flavor Unit, no one can dethrone me
Latifah, the feminine professor of wits, Coldcut's on the mix

And it ticks us off when we see so much wrong
World, what's goin' on?
That's a question for you to ask yourself
Or are you that caught up in your wealth?

Kids are growin' up with materialistic mind
They become cruel and unkind
Spendin' all your money on Nikes and Filas
But when you see a panhandler, it's ha ha ha

What a bum, get a job, I should hit you
With another verse of lyrics that'll fitcha
The words are cunning, stunning enough to pierce
But if you wanna get fierce, smoke this one, smoke this one

Who will save the day?
(Lord have mercy)
Who will find a way?
(Lord have mercy)

Who will take away the strife?
(Lord have mercy)
Oh Lord, rescue me from this life
(Lord have mercy, mercy, mercy)

Who will save the day?
(Lord have mercy)
Who will find a way?
(Lord have mercy)
Who will take away the strife?
