He walks the path of sorrow
Inside he fights thoughts of horror
For some will there be a tomorrow
He wishes for another life to borrow

Racism and discrimination
With ruthless tactics of elimination
It still goes on, it still goes on
Some think it is fun, some think there is none

He is on the verge of breaking down
Wishing his skin was white and not brown
The same color as most wedding gowns
The threesomes have insulted him like a clown
Damaged his reputation, taken away his crown

Ordinary people in a past circle as close friends
Are gradually bringing his career to an end
Each action he takes he is called upon to defend
In front of him and the public they all pretend
After the damage is done, they try to make amends

Racism and discrimination
With ruthless tactics of elimination
It still goes on, it still goes on
Some think it is fun, some think there is none

Yes! He walks the path of sorrow
Inside he fights thoughts of horror
His heart and soul was once whole
But they have cut open a huge wide hole
