PERSONAL REVOLUTION

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
