Their song One in a Million says, "Police and niggers, that's right, get outta my way./ Don't need to buy none of your gold chains today . . ./ Immigrants and faggots, they make no sense to me./ They come to our country and think they'll do as they please,/ Like start some mini-Iran, or spread some f disease./ They talk so many goddam ways, it's all Greek...
