People I Try Not To Use/ Drugs I Try Not To Abuse/ A lot Of Times I Failed/ And It Is Hell/ That In My Mind/ It's In A Bind/ That's Why I Write/ To Make Right/ All The Stuff I Did/ When I Was A Kid/ Mom Said: You Black/ Wasn't Trying To Hear That/ I Covered My Eyes/ I Told Myself Lies/ But Racism Was Always In My Face/ Always Been All Over The Place/ Sly And The Family Stone Said: There Is A Riot Going On/ And I Think It Will Be Long/ I Hope I'm Wrong - StreetWise Vendor Lady David Tillman
