Lyrics
English: Like pro-lifers that support the death penalty / And don't talk about war when niggas know that you puss / A fuckin' hypocrite, draft-dodger like George Bush / Don't push me, nigga, 'cause I'm close to the edge / And I'll jump off with a rope that's wrapped around ya head / Send a dead fetus to my ex on Valentine's Day / The safety's off, nigga, so get the fuck out my way
