Me not no Oxford don me a simple immigrant from Clapham Common I didn't graduate I immigrate But listen Mr Oxford don I'm a man on de run and a man on de run is a dangerous one I ent have no gun I ent have no knife but mugging de Queen's English is the story of my life I don't need no axe to split/ up yu syntax I don't need no hammer to mash/ up yu grammar I warning you Mr. Oxford don I'm a wanted man and a wanted man is a dangerous one Dem accuse me of a**ault on de Oxford dictionary/ imagine a concise peaceful man like me/ dem want me to serve time for inciting rhyme to riot but I tekking it quiet down here in Clapham Common I'm not violent man Mr. Oxford don I only armed wit mih human breath but human breath is a dangerous weapon So mek dem send one big word after me I ent serving no jail sentence I slashing suffix in self-defence I bashing future wit present tense and if necessary AP JOE I making de Queen's English accessory/ to my offence
