SHERIFF'S SEIZURES

Stick ‘em up! Stick ‘em up!!
One at a time.
Hand over them dollars
And all of them dimes.

Don’t bother trying
To stir my heart,
For I’m the sheriff
‘Round these parts.

Don’t call the feds,
They’re in on it too;
And just a bit of advice,
Between me and you:

Find a new line of work;
The weed racket ain’t it.
Or else you may find yourself
In a world of shit.

James confesses: "In California where marijuana is legal, a county sheriff's department engaged in a highway robbery of an armored car, seizing more than a million dollars from licensed dispensaries. The FBI then stepped in and tried to confiscate the money for themselves but settled on a split with the Sheriff's Department."
