Verse 1:
Dear my fellow King, I write this letter in hopes of diplomacy
For the reports I’ve seen needs to be discussed openly
Reports of vermins you’ve invited are leading incursions
Attempting to establish trade through religious conversions
Be forewarned that these mzungus will not be welcomed
We will neutralize the threat and send their remains where they come from
The head trophy the Ashanti processes will be the least of their troubles
For as a nation we will be ready to humble
Hook (2x):
(Cause I see)
Foreign Marauders, encroaching with some looters
(Uh huh)
The enemy lurking, that’s the rumor
(Cause I see)
Foreign Marauders, rolling around with some shooters
(Uh huh)
We gonna deal with the intruders
Verse 2:
Dear my fellow King, I write this letter in hopes of diplomacy
For the reports I’ve seen needs to be discussed openly
By the ports seeing warriors raiding villages capturing loved ones
Only to sell them to mzungus, locked away in dungeons
They claim to come in peace to spread the word of Jesus
While claiming our Gold and minerals only to relieve us
Allowing devils to hold our women captive is not in custom
Reducing women to meat is disgusting even if you claim to be Humble
Leaning on the White man in your family feuds to maintain power
Will only strengthen the position of his trade towers
Concessions will lead to your state in ruins and unprepared
Until you aren’t able to rebel against whom values you share
May this warning lead to peace between our Kingdoms
And may the ancestors bless our peoples with this wisdom
Any further incursions will lead to steady troubles
For as a nation we will ready to humble
Hook (2x):
(Cause I see)
Foreign Marauders, encroaching with some looters
(Uh huh)
The enemy lurking, that’s the rumor
(Cause I see)
Foreign Marauders, rolling around with some shooters
(Uh huh)
We gonna deal with the intruders
