“Just hits no misses, that’s for the married folks / Tell ‘em fix my suite up ’cause I’m coming home / Oh, I heard he talking crazy, I was out of town / You know they love to pop all that shit when I’m not around / But when I’m here? Sssss, not a sound / That’ll make me snap, jot it down, go in the booth and lay a body down.”

Fans, while surprised by the unexpected release, reacted positively to the track, with Draft Day trending on both Twitter and Google.
