    You a go tired fe see me face
    Can't get me out of the race
    Oh man you said I'm in your place
    A make you draw bad card
    And then you draw bad card

    Propaganda spreading over my name
    Say you want to bring another life to shame
    Oh man you just playing a game
    And then you draw bad card, draw bad card
    A make you draw bad card, draw bad card
