oh titanic, oh titanic
if you’re black, creole or hispanic
welcome in our oh-so-sweet home
on this ship you are never alone.

o titanic, oh titanic
we all sink, but it ain’t that dramatic
we all row,
we all go,
and we never do show
no feeling
for noone to know.

o titanic, oh titanic
Beau Bassin’s proud criminatic
come into hell,
then your love is sold well
for your hope is locked up in this shell.


o titanic, oh titanic
the law, it can be so drastic
only god is the one to help you in here
many lie, many die, many fear


o titanic, oh titanic
you get insane, mad and manic
once you’ve been in,
you know you can’t win
and chances they look pretty grim

o titanic, oh titanic
the law it is so elastic
build up by slaves, inmated by sames
grave to so many names

o titanic, oh titanic
if you’re black, creole or hispanic
there is no white face
inside this place,
the law sure looks at your race.
