I was born in a chaotic country
Its people are all on drugs
Addicted to power, addicted to drugs
Addicted, oiui, ooai
And addicted to gambling

Fufufafa republic

Fufufafa republic
Fufufafa
Fufufafa republic

A stunting and malnourished country
Average IQ equivalent to a monkey
Being rude and disrespectful
Acting know-it-all and being pretentious

Fufufafa republic
Fufufafa
Fufufafa republic
