[Verse 1]
They throw their curses
Like they’re casting spells
Paint me as the villain
While they build new cells
They talk like it’s game over
Like I’m already done
But dates on a paper
Aren’t the only ones
[Chorus]
Twenty-third of January
Hanging over me
But I believe in justice
And equal right
You can stack your secrets
You can twist the story
I will keep on hoping
I will keep on fighting
(I’m still fighting)
[Verse 2]
They call it Dark Souls living
Every step
One more trial
I’m walking through the crossfire
Still I won’t turn mild
Whispers and bad juju
Try to choke my name
But I don’t bow to curses
I just feed the flame
[Chorus]
Twenty-third of January
Hanging over me
But I believe in justice
And equal right
You can stack your secrets
You can twist the story
I will keep on hoping
I will keep on fighting
(I’m still fighting)
[Bridge]
Write my fate in ink
Then watch me tear the page
I’m more than your rumors
More than your cage
[Chorus]
Twenty-third of January
Hanging over me
But I believe in justice
And equal right
You can stack your secrets
You can twist the story
I will keep on hoping
I will keep on fighting
(I’m still fighting, still fighting)
