Revolution Baby

REVOLUTION BABY Am from the backseats of mean streets I got my eye aiming the Wall Street They said education is the key I wonder why they made it expensive for we, Am sitting around hood rats, Gangsters and Ex- prisoners Sniffing, snatching, stuffing stuff Mama expects a lawyer, a doctor, a mayor, Newsflash! We are in the middle of a crisis Am the original copy of a son-of-a-gun I define the odds I believe to break a law, Is to make a road You go east or west, Home is still the best But with a bullet in your chest Don’t mess with these streets They will give you a free ride to hell Pot and crack do rounds all over, It’s a mess, I am needed, you are needed, We are needy Damn! We are in a man eat man generation You either survive or succumb There’s a billion ways to die, Choose one, It’s time for a change, Change of perspectives, Change of attitude, Change of behavior Let’s get out of our comfort zone, Coz that’s what’s drowning us, We need a change Change for the better It’s revolution time!!
