Daddy can be rough
That's why I can be tough
Kicks in even when it comes to little bit of love
Around doing stuff, police put me in cuffs
Ain't a victim but I am a diamond in the rough
Shirts, tops, tees
I'm always in tight jeans
I know Billie Jean and the Bruce Springsteen
I also know Palestine and Mujahideen
Playin' Tekken on tha weekend eating mangosteen
I'm illegal
Fuck your law!

Lean-mean-machine' kinda stream with my team
I'm from England, from Mitcham near Cheam
Have you heard my dream? Even Martin Luther's keen
So I put it down on my track, explain what it means
I'm illegal
Fuck your law! (2x)
