Intro - Admiral:
---------------------
(Radio interviews play over)
Yeah, this is for Van Nyugen,
Rest In Peace yeah (TMJ Whisper)
Chorus (TMJ):
--------------------
(Radio interviews play under)
mooNchild & Scientist (Singing): Watching the world passing by,
mooNchild & Admiral: every situation we should be contemplating as we see,
mooNchild & Scientist (Singing): Politicians,
mooNchild & Admiral: doing nothing, how can they represent the people,
when they don't talk for the people, we as the people need to,
mooNchild & Scientist (Singing): speak out against,
TMJ: Injustice!
1st Verse - Scientist:
-------------------------------
As we live our day-to-day lives,
we must rewind our thoughts,
to the past and see that,
its only when one of our brethren,
faces a crisis like Mr. Van Nguyen,
that we as a people gather together,
to stop and see how his situation affects you and me, (so what can we do?)
it’s time for us humble hip-hopers to shine,
switch into political activists,
show this injustice,
use songs as placards, records as billboards,
and expose news the media ignores,
when it no longer sells papers,
and politicians catch alzheimers,
when it doesn’t buy them any more votes,
to associate with ethnic Australians who inhabit,
foreign jail cells, and Johnny sits back to watch the cricket,
what a fucking inconsiderate prick,
watch me plant an ounce next time he goes on an overseas trip (yea)

2nd Verse - mooNchild:
----------------------------------
Uh uh how can we ask ourselves,
was it right for someone to be killed was his life really fullfilled?
of course it ain't right, how do we have the right,
to play God with someones life,
especially if they're accused of a crime,
thats not even worth jail time,
politicians don't act right,
all they wanna do is pass by the situation,
control public relations,
how can we say that we're Christians,
when we disrespectin our own kind,
are we blind or jus ignorant,
i cry inside, and ask why,
has this world turned so dark inside,
we as the people need to stick together,
to be the voice for the good left over,
is it jus me or is it just wrong to be executin,
the petty thieves doesn't everyone deserve a second chance,
isnt that what Jesus said? uh what,
lets represent and think again while we preach

3rd Verse - Admiral:
-----------------------------
R.I.P Van Ngyuen,
and bless everyone that knew him,
especially his loving family,
going through this traumatic tragedy,
cause I know no one understand,
the government, corrupt politicians,
where IR practices and money is more important,
than trying to save a young mans life,
trying to get his way straight in his life,
locked up in his cell, he wants to yell,
as his mother cries and says farewell,
as the guards are holding her back,
the chains rattle on the floor,
watching her son that she adore,
taking his steps through that open door,
the beads of perspiration,
clenching his teeth in desperation,
his very last conversation,
as he turns his h
