Observations

It's like my life's on probation
Trapped in ah broken nation
Ghetto's of damnation
Got home feeling like incarceration
Dreams of liberation
Leave every black man, woman, and 
child mind full of contemplation
Opposing my opposition with a 
tattooed disposition 
It's not to many good times in the 
position
I may have your attention 
Listen Listen Listen
Confession booths are the partition
That hide the evil in religion
Lost souls can't see the doom in 
man's division
Asking for restitution
Stop
Spark a revolution
That's the solution
