The tribulations
I see the Sun coming up
Uh, it don't matter who rhymes you think is tight
I'm good, I got Jesus Christ, my Holy Ghost rider...
My life is pretty busy right now.
I go to school every day.
I go to school in the evenings.
I work during the day.
I do hip-hop music.
N.O.D., Never Out Done.
That's the name we came up with a long time ago,
and it just fits.
It works for everything.
I have five kids: four boys and a girl.
My oldest is 17.
My youngest is six.
[rapping] I need you every day
to get me through the rough times...
I'm very involved
with my kids.
I'm involved with them-- with their sports,
I'm involved with their schools,
and I try to get to activities.
I think it's very important to vote early
because I'm a parent, and I have so many things to do.
I'm always running.
I have no clue what I'm gonna be doing
the day it comes time to vote.
And then everybody's out voting, usually, during that day.
It's kind of too hectic.
I think voting early, for me, it just--
it just gives me a little leeway, just a little cushion.
slide says: If put into effect, Ohios HB194 would cut that state's early voting period in half.
man speaking: My grandmother and a few of her friends,
they vote.
And they've been voting since, I guess,
since they've been allowed to vote.
It's just important to give people
more than one opportunity to do it.
I mean...
I think if you take that away, you lose a lot of votes.
(instrumental music) More than 1.5 million Ohioans voted early in '08, roughly 30% of all ballots cast in the state.

The tribulations
I see the Sun coming up
Uh, it don't matter who rhymes you think is tight
I'm good, I got Jesus Christ, my Holy Ghost rider
And he fluent in every language under him
Couldn't change myself, so all I did was come to him...
