| This path has been potholed | B |
| I just made it with no broken bones | C |
| My being has turned to stone | D |
| Putting my body and soul at war | E |
| I have been walking this road | F |
| It's been winding | G |
| - | |
| I have run this mile over and over | H |
| I have yet to make it to the podium | I |

| The war inside me gets nastier | H |

| I wake up every morning hopeful | L |
| Wash up without fail the clean start to a new day | M |

| These chains that imprison me | C |
| In self destruction and belief | V |
| That my failure lies within the dark of my skin | W |
| Let the beauty of your creation shine over | H |
| Let me feel the strength of my blackness | C |
| And break out of this domination | X |
