Every time I hear [it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKggnBh2Mdw), I _ **swear** _ he sings the following:

_Livin’ easy  
Lovin’ free  
Sees a nigger on a one way ride_

I looped through this verse over and over just now, and I am convinced he is _not_ singing “_ **Season ticket** _ on a one way ride.”

Am I delusional? Crazy? I dunno. But I did a quick google search and it appears I am not alone on this.
