WILL YOU BE THIS NINJA'S FRIEND?

Will you be this ninja's friend?

Hang with him

Until the

Bitter end?

Can you be this ninja's soul mate?

Talkin' 'bout

Life, stayin'

Up real late?

Would you give this ninja a dolla'?

And fitty

Cent? So he

Has bus fare?

What? This isn't just about money, dog!

It's just that

Ninjas ain't

Get no pay!

C'mon!!! Have a heart and be this ninja's frien'!!!
