Lyrics for Bad Card

You a-go tired fe see me face Can't get me out of the race Oh, man, you said I'm in your place And then you draw bad card A-make you draw bad card And then you draw bad card Propaganda spreading over my name Say you want to bring another life to shame Oh, man, you just a-playing a game And then you draw bad card (draw bad card) A-make you draw bad card (draw bad card) A-make you draw bad card I want to disturb my neighbor Because I'm feeling so right! I want to turn up my disco Blow them to full watts tonight, eh! In a rub-a-dub style, in a rub-a-dub style In a rub-a-dub style, in a rub-a-dub style Because we guarding the palace so majestic Guarding the palace is so realistic! Them a-go tired to see we face (oh yeah!) Me say them can't get we out of the race Oh, man, it's just a big disgrace The way you draw bad card (draw bad card) The way you make wrong moves (make wrong moves) The way you draw bad card (draw bad card) A-make you draw bad card (draw bad card) A-make you draw bad card In a rub-a-dub style, rub-a-dub style In a rub-a-dub style, rub-a-dub style
