He Was My Brother, Simon & Garfunkel He was my brother Five years older than I He was my brother Twenty-three years old the day he died Freedom writer They cursed my brother to his face "Go home, outsider Mississippi's gonna be your buryin' place"

He was singing on his knees An angry mob trailed along They shot my brother dead Because he hated what was wrong He was my brother Tears can't bring him back to me He, he was my brother And he died so his brothers could be Oh, God, he died so his brothers could be free

"It's time to fight back", that's what Huey said.

I got love for my brother, but we can never go nowhere

unless we share with each other. We gotta start makin' changes.

Tupac, “Changes”

Drag the shades across the window Don't answer any knock at the door Keep your hand on the weapon beside you Keep your eyes out for the law Don't you know and you gotta be all you can be We're told to run towards the future While they're standing on our feet And be content with the scraps that they throw us After promising a feast If you didn't have a gun then I wouldn't need a gun The Boo Radleys, “Free Huey”
