Lyrics

The Governor

[Verse]

Well, you can meet my friend, the governor

He the one that makes the law

If you meet him face to face

You gon' be the one at fault

It's your life, it's your choice to choose

But if you meet my friend, the governor

You gon' be the one to lose, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse]

Well, you can meet my friend, the governor

He the one that makes the law

But if you meet him face to face

You gon' be the one at fault

Oh, it's your life, it's your choice to choose

But if you meet my friend, the governor

You're gonna be the one to lose, alright
