Trick Daddy raps about Charlie Crist

Miami rapper Trick Daddy weighs in on Florida politics on his new album "Finally Famous," making a request of Charlie Crist. The song, "Tears of a Grown Man," includes the refrain "We need another thug holiday" and laments the high cost of living, crime rate and disparity between the haves and have nots.

 About half-way through, Trick Daddy raps this (apologies if the Buzz didn't decipher every word perfectly): "Gov. Bush held the kids back because of the FCAT. So Mr. Charlie Crist how you gonna handle this. Hope this ain't one of them old promises, promises. But I'll just pray and hopefully we'll see a better day. We sure could use your support. On every corner, in every hood, on every (curse word) porch and every court. My holiday would be the day you give jobs away. To ex-cons who really try to move on. And free those who already roll and kept a G cold for way too long."  Word.
