Huey

They fill our minds with literature and scripture, 
just to say niggas are equal With people in the system 
Every time my mental paint those pictures of equalization I vision discrimination 
The situations we are placed in today clipped my Eagle wings away 
I can't fly off a mountain 
When my surroundings downing the black race 
I see a crown on my black hair 
Not a frown on my black face 
They smile but act fake 
Deny me a job because of my black face 
I can't fly right in left field 
I can't hide in a country we was left in
I can't survive without mental nutrition
Teach me the mission without keeping your distance
