[verse]
dear british empire, i wanna be like you
see, i respect your gangster and the way you bruddas move
i’m tryna land in every city and tell these people what to do
i’m the leader and i’ll shoot anybody that refuse
d’you know what, f~ck it, i’m going mad if he refuses
i’ll buss the door and i’ll take everything that f~cker produces
might even dress like one of them so they can look for a judas
and make him k!ll his own brother, leave thesе idiots clueless
raised with trappеrs and shooters
it’s k!ll or be k!lled, that’s why we stand on business
when we need help, we’ll bring ’em in and tell ’em they’re official
when we don’t need them, send ’em back, but thank you for your input
close the window, man, the microphone is picking up the windrush
we run this ting but i still hear ’em talking sh~t
i might just do ’em like the yemenis in 1966
make ’em cool down, literally, and slap ’em in a fridge
take the rest into the bas~m~nt and start cutting off their d~cks
or should we starve ’em like the irish and make ’em work for peanuts?
and then raise the price of peanuts so we import them for cheaper?
feeling like a young charles trevelyan with all these procedures
if you’re bad then come to my side and i can show you evil
or just don’t let ’em have it, yeah, let’s starve ’em like the bengal famine
i might just start cutting my ties with all these dirty pakis
split ’em up by drawing up a line on where the map is
and do it all in half an hour like i’m cyril radcliffe
dear british empire, i wanna be like you
and make everyone i hate become my b~tch and clean my shoes
have my people think i can’t lose and hide ’em from the truth
i’m the leader and i’ll shoot anybody that refuse
i took rebecca out to eat because she loves me
i made a joke on how she can’t handle spice, poppadoms and chutney
her mother’s so lovely, it feels homely when she hugs me
but i know deep down her father doesn’t want me in this country
listen, you fat pr~ck, we never had to touch no vindaloo’s or chicken korma’s
you made us water down our dishes when you touched our borders
i ain’t no hypocrite so i ain’t stamping on this coca
i’ve got the purest of the purest when i serve your daughter
and edl is just a twist of what there once was
you sent the national front to stab my grandma at the bus stop
it was you who made my uncle keep the hammer in the glove box
cah you sliced him on his hand and followed any trace of blood drops
you brought my people to this country ’cause your hands weren’t enough
so when we bring over our cousins, why’d you kick up a fuss?
you smuggled opium into china just to hook ’em on drugs
so they can trade it with the tea that you can put in your mugs, you mugs
i hope by now you understand what i’ve been tryna say
that we’re the products of the own games you tried to play
you tried to hold us down but god accepts the price we paid
and now we’re back on top, your grandson feels a type of way
dear british empire, i wanna be like you
see, i respect your gangster and the way you bruddas move
i’m tryna land in every city and tell these people what to do
i’m the leader and i’ll shoot anybody that refuse
after careful consideration, f~ck tryna be like you
but i’ll still thank you deep down because you taught us how to move
see, now you’ve crumbled to the ground because we had nuttin to lose
but karma’s a horrible b~tch and she’s coming out for you
but to the british people of today, just know we see no issue
in flying the country’s flag, matter of fact, i’ll even fly it with you
i hate the fact they call you racist just because you hold your pride
they throw the bad apples on the cover and make you pick a side
i got brothers that are white, mate, it’s 2025
governments conquer by dividing but today we draw the line
let’s just take time to understand each other and i reckon we’ll be fine
i only wrote this song for all the people that’s fuelling the divide
this is for those who’s using all the stuff that’s happening as an excuse
to show their hate to other races and cower behind the accused
this is for entertainment companies that brand themselves as news
who hate to see us getting along, that’s why they love to pick and choose
in that sense, i think we’re very much alike
i know your history and the views you hold today just don’t align
that’s why we support your pride, raise your flags, lads, you’ll be fine
we’re standing with you side~by~side, yours sincerely, sliime
