Voter suppression (yeah)
I point at Xi while Putin helps me (yoo-hoo)
Rig the election (baby)
With help from the GOP

COVID campaigning (yeah)
We’re killin’ blacks and browns as I speak, baby
Polls down, deaths gaining (yeah)
Virus had a real good week

They know we’re cheating, baby
Voter rolls have been purged
It bears repeating, baby (oh yeah)
Corona surged.

And Mis-in-for-ma-tion

Voter suppression (yeah)
Got SCOTUS to keep felons away (yoo-hoo)
Trump friend exception, baby
With help from the DOJ

First plan — Gerrymandering
Second plan —Sleepy Joe slandering
Third plan — Slow down postal snail mail
Fourth plan (baby) — Don’t want no paper trail

Voter rights negation
