I know, it's weird, right?
So I'm heading towards this light,

to flash before my eyes because,
well, there's a lot of baller shit

All I saw was you.

I'm going to stop running ads,
cancel my rallies.

You've been helping him get elected
his entire career.

It's less than six weeks
before the election,

I can't speak like him.
