A clown's disguise, a mask to conceal
The tears and the sorrow, the heart that feels
A painted-on smile, a wig and a nose
A disguise to hide, the pain that it knows
With every laugh, a piece of soul is sold
The spotlight's glare, a lonely place to be
A clown's performance, a disguise for humanity
But in the silence, when the show is done
The clown's true face, is revealed to none
A reflection stares, with eyes that are sore
A heart that's weary, from the weight it bore
The painted smile, a disguise to wear
A clown's brave face, to hide the tears they share.

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?
