[Куплет 1: Mos Def]
Pay day, you're a winner...
Pay day, you're a winner
Keep cool form a line
Scared money, broke money
Bold money, mo' money
So sunny, cloud breaker
Sound maker, wave runner
Wild wonder, funky drummer
You can get it how you wanna
There's math and there's dealers and players and me
They say that they winners, okay, well, let's see
You pay or you play
The rules of the trade
The math of the days
The times of the age
What you want? How you like?
Aim high, man, why not?
Some old story yours
Each and all of y'alls
There's maths and there's dealers and players and me
They say that they winners, okay, well, let's see…
[Припев: Mos Def]
Sweepstakes! Sweepstakes! You're a winner

"Who's the winner?" said the dealer
