        And just to add lyrics to your facts

        You don’t give money to the bums
        on a corner with a sign bleeding from their gums
        Talking about you don’t support a crackhead
        What you think happens to the money from your taxes
        Shit the governments an addict
        With a billion dollar a week kill brown people habit
