[VERSE 1 — SERVICE BEFORE TITLE] Before
the
title,
Problem
was
serving.
Before
the
contest,
Problem
was
working.
When
the
party
needed
transport,
he
provided
two
branded
cars.
When
the
campaign
needed
fuel,
Problem
supported
the
movement.
Branch
to
branch,
community
to
community—
Problem
was
there.
School

hospital
bills,
youth
and
branch
executives—
Helping
where
he
could,
serving
before
the
title.
