SO IT IS is about how abuse is almost genetic in the way it is passed on, using the streets of Atlanta to create scenarios to illustrate the current inheritor... with a little hope (and a few jabs at worthy targets).

lyrics

Walkin on the street Ponce de Leon
the sun was not in sight long gone down
a big ol' car with Cobb County plates
lookin for paid sex must be some mistake
held up a gesture as he drove away... left me feel in not ok

chorus:
my father was abused and so was his and so was his and so was his
my father was abused and so was his and so was his and so it is

2.
walkin on further Ponce de Leon
an old junker pullin to the curb
have you any money have you any loot
if you hand it over I might not shoot
runnin in the dark bullets flyin by ... left me feelin not ok

3.
walkin on along Piedmont Drive
feelin lucky still alive
another ol' beat up out of county plates
askin my opinion of the battle flag
I honestly couldn't concentrate... left my feelin not ok - chorus

4.
movin on along Ponce de Leon
ran into a brother with a song
he could see I was hangin on a cliff
his estimate was accurate I could use a lift
he sang some words some peculiar way... left me feelin ok - chorus
