Consider me a dangerous man

But you should be afraid of this dang candidate

You say Trump don’t kiss ass like a puppet

‘Cause he runs his campaign with his own cash for funding

And that’s what you wanted

A fuckin’ loose cann who’s blunt with his hand on button

Who doesn’t have to answer to one—great idea.
