Mr. Morgan is on the streets

Homeless and stressed

Because he can't read

Sister has a child

Alone with no man for support

Just a boy

Who is the father of the unborn

No direction for the future

Blaming his parents, preacher and teacher

For his bad decision

 

Is this away of life

Or just a personal revolution

 

Can't find a job

Sitting inside, without education

Can't keep the faith

When its' GOD you hate

The cop has you locked

Mad because you know your wrong

But you can't change that wrong now

 

Is this away of life

Or just a personal revolution

 

A child killed to day and yesterday

Taken away from it's mother

So much greed in society

We can't believe

Now what does all this mean

 

Is this away of life

Or just a personal revolution

 

Find your self a new direction

Make revolution of education

Don't take what they give you

Take all you need............and more

Don't make revolution with blood

Just because of the ignorant word

Your brother said

 

Is this away of life

Or just a personal revolution

 

Don't let your daily life

Equal to a 40 ounce or a dollar fifty

Just because ignorance is thirsty

 

Is this away of life

Or just a personal revolution

 

The Development speaks out

With life music

They have the right to do that

That is a personal revolution

 

Alice speaks out

Because her sister

Wants to harm her-self

Because of tradition

Living by the word

Living for the word

That is a personal revolution

 

What is our true direction

Our true way of life

Covered by the lust of inhumanity

 

Break the chains of political enslavement

Break the chains of social enslavement

Break the chains of education

To limitless knowledge

Break the chains of racism

So we can be brothers and sisters again

 

Let us wash our hands 

In the waters of revolution

 

Make personal revolution

The direction can only be chosen by you

 

Are you going to work for your better day

Or just play like its' your last day

 

What is your true way of life

Were is your personal revolution
