[English]

The British are coming, the British are coming

Hide your money, your kids, and your woman

White surpremacists on my premises

What is this, a racist feminist?

Why you disconnecting my video camera?

Why you disconnecting my video camera?

Why you disconnecting my video camera?

We oughta throw crooked cops in the slammer

Why you disconnecting my video camera?

Why you disconnecting my video camera?

Why you disconnecting my video camera?

We oughta throw crooked cops in the slammer

August 21st was the day

The Adams County sheriff destroyed my gate

They ran up my driveway with guns and hate

To steal my funds, they just couldn't wait

I know you want me dead or in the slammers

But why you unhooking my video cameras?

Rent Rent-a-Cops for rent

Digging in my pockets for lint

Unconfidential informant

False accusations on the warrant

Any pounds of weed in my custom suits?

Are there kidnapping victims in my gator boots?

What do you see in my CDs?

Look at the screen, can you see these?

What do you see in my CD books?

You can't see me, but I can see you crooks

The British are coming, the British are coming

Hide your money, your kids, and your woman

White surpremacists on my premises

What is this, a racist feminist?

Why you disconnecting my video camera?

Why you disconnecting my video camera?

Why you disconnecting my video camera?

We oughta throw crooked cops in the slammer

Why you disconnecting my video camera?

Why you disconnecting my video camera?

Why you disconnecting my video camera?

We oughta throw crooked cops in the slammer

Share a snake, quadruple take

TikTok famous, Officer Pound Cake

Speculator, hater

Any kidnapping victims in my refrigerator?

Congratulations, TikTok star

Now the world knows how stupid you are

Lucky you're a family guy

Got the munchies because you got high

You never catch white people breaking in my house

But you can traumatize me, my kids, and my spouse

You can steal all this money from me, man

But you can't solve the murder in Seaman?

Mad because I'm black, mad because I'm rich

Mad because I fucked your drug-addict bitch

I came from LA and bought the whole city

Send your wife home drunk with my name on her titties

The British are coming, the British are coming

Hide your money, your kids, and your woman

White surpremacists on my premises

What is this, a racist feminist?

Why you disconnecting my video camera?

Why you disconnecting my video camera?

Why you disconnecting my video camera?

We oughta throw crooked cops in the slammer

Why you disconnecting my video camera?

Why you disconnecting my video camera?

Why you disconnecting my video camera?

We oughta throw crooked cops in the slammer
