He's snatchin' your people up
Tryna rape 'em so y'all need to
Hide your kids, hide your wife
Hide your kids, hide your wife
Hide your kids, hide your wife

Low cut like a caesar with some little waves in his head
Clean cut, very smooth face
Seein' my sister when I walked in
He had his hands around her neck
First thing was to pull him off of her
And that's what I did (ayy)
He's climbin' in your windows
He's snatchin' your people up
Tryna rape 'em so y'all need to
Hide your kids, hide your wife
Hide your kids, hide your wife
Hide your kids, hide your wife
And hide your husband
'Cause they rapin' everybody out here
You don't have to come and confess
We're lookin' for you

The song "Bed Intruder Song!!!" by Antoine Dodson and the Gregory Brothers originated from a news segment that aired on a local news station in Huntsville, Alabama. The news report interviewed Antoine Dodson, whose sister was attacked by an intruder in their apartment, and he famously gave a passionate statement to the intruder to "Hide your kids, hide your wife". The Gregory Brothers autotuned and remixed the interview to create the "Bed Intruder Song!!!", which became a viral internet sensation.
The lyrics of the song focus on the message that people need to be aware and protect themselves from potential intruders, specifically those who try to harm others. The song repeats the phrase "Hide your kids, hide your wife" as a warning to listeners to take necessary precautions to stay safe. The chorus takes a more confrontational tone, stating that they will find the intruder.
The verse that describes the attacker's appearance and actions emphasizes the seriousness of the situation and the need for immediate action to protect loved ones. The final verse, "I'ma tell 'em, we don't run around cryin' and actin' sad, we just dust our shoulders off, we keep on movin'", is a call to action for listeners to stay strong and resilient in the face of danger.
