I just learned about this song maybe 20 minutes ago. Spotify pulled it up completely at random. I was listening while working late at night, so it took until I heard "Adolf Hitler on vibes" to notice something was off and Google the song name and lyrics. Instant classic. I've already sent it to a friend.
