custom what he speakers rump on polices, dump on creatures
holidays you preach us, stainless steel watches, hostages turning next, here's the deal
if we can't come in they can't have the feel
...your system, murder excremental, rap, harmony and horses live efficient
along with generals who flash uzzies in interviews

peace and effect, panties off and donuts
i hate to see you acting like a slave to get an advance here, and advance there
