Democratic candidate for Governor Farouk Shami greets visitors at an evening meet and greet at the Celestial Room in downtown McAllen, TX.

Just in time for election day comes the release of a Farouk Shami-themed hip-hop song put out by the official campaign. Houston rapper J. Xavier* penned and performs it. This is not a parody.

The chorus:

Who's got the new solutions for Texas/ FAROUK

When it comes to the state, who's gone rep it/ FAROUK

Farouk Farouk, Farouk is on fi-ah

Serving the community, his numba one desiah

*FUN FACT:At the age of 12, Xavier won PAX-TV's America’s Most Talented Kids Show contest.
