Low cards are what I've got
But I'll play this hand whether I like it or not

If only you could prove who your father was

Or how I survived so many blows
I've been thru Hell, What good did it do?
You bastard! I'm suppose to respect you!

Show me your moral that you reversed

You get your lover in the bed
Come here I'll break your lousy head
Our nation must be saved and freed
You've been accused of murder, how do you plead?

I came to bury, not to raise
