    Cool! Do some freestyle flows about the Gold Standard!

    My name is Dave Weigel,
    I'm from the cul de sacs,
    shilling for the man,
    fuck you up like heart attacks,

    Now here's a little story,
    'bout a man named Ron Paul,
    he's in it for the Fathers,
    wit' da freedom tip, y'all,

    Da great underdog, still
    polling five percent,
    strait pissin' off the people,
    In the GOP tent

    Angering the nannies, sayin'
    "Stop the War Now!"
    Getting boos from da crowd,
    Making Rudy G have a cow.

    Ya heard...

    the neo-nazi vote
    the ufo fu vote
    The old goat's a crackpot
    Got the crackpot vote
    Got the crackpot vote
    and that's not all
    He's got the name--Ron Paul!
