a cocky theif thinks he's found an easy target in this convenience store
but not when hafize sahim is on duty
the thug pulls a pistol and demands cash
but the four-foot nine-inch hafize doesn't obey
when he put the gun
he pulled the kinks
give me the money he say
instead
she presses the silent alarm
convinced the robber is blufing
when he first points the gun
the gun looked like to me that it is too small
my mind says it's too small
the crook is antsy
keeping an eye out for police
So hafize stalls for time
struggling with the register
and waiting for her moment to strike
when the goon turns his back
hafize pulls her weapon of choice
a three-foot battle axe
The feisty clerk hacks at the intruder
with a weapon over half her size
in my country, I was cutting woods with the axe
this is the first time i use it for somebody else
not on the wood, you know?
The baffled hoodlum boils and
leaves the store
with a pint sized vigilante hot on his tail
I want to see him, where he goes
I think again maybe he might come back again
in the face of sudden terror
this shopkeeper stood tall
and sent a crook packing
I scared, yes
But I did it

torrential rains and melting snow
trigger the worst flooding in the city's history
raging water destroys everything in its path
Residents seek shelter on higher ground
but oneis it
dire straits
the woman is stranded in the middle of a flooded street
a good samaritan extends a helping hand It looks like he's got her, but then
she swept away by the savage current
a neighbor tries to capture her with a broom
but it's no use
she's carry two blocks away
then trapped under a truck wheel
the helpless woman has only seconds before she drowns.
No one person is strong enough to face the killer current alone instead
they form a human chain
and pull woman from the flood
she makes it out safely
Thanks to those who refuse to let her
life slip away

a neighborhood is in an uproar over the accidental killing of a local boy
the violent fury catches polices off guard
they suddenly find themselves are outnumbered three-to-one
and facing up bloodthirsty mob
The throng runs roughshod over the neighborhood
smashing windows
and wounding officers
despite the overwhelming odds
a band of cops dares to make a stand
The angry rabble hits them with everything they've got
one launches a pyrotechnic rocket to a line of police
others hurl a barrage of molotov cocktails
suddenly an officer on the front line suffers a direct hit
the flying brick smashes his forehead
knocking him unconscious
finally reinforcements arrive from across the city
they blasted proud off the streets with overwhelming force
several officers are injured in the intense fighting
outnumbered in the city's worst riot ever
an embattled squadron held on prevent
in a night of terror they'll never forget
