I know a place in my country
A place where deceit is master
And LIES is mistress
I know a place in my country
A place where black clothes are worn
The blacks wear the black
And the black blackens their hearts
I know a place in my country
A place where a big man is right
And the small man is wrong in his right
I know a place in my country
A place where virtue is preached
And the vice is practiced
A place where the king is caught trespassing
But the guard is beheaded for it
I know a place in my country
A place where justice lies
And injustice is truth
A place where the naked runs to confide
And are thrown out like a rag
A place where evil is beautified
This place is our Court
But this place is our CUT
For in it is the poor man Cut off from Justice
And the table is hit for the fat in pocket.

I once met some Nigeria men who were working at a coffee shot. They got me fairly drunk and told me about the system and what the police would do if they showed up this night. Later on in the night, the police showed up. They checked everyone's I.D., even mine, although we were not involved with the man they were chasing.
American Africans have the same story.
