Especially in your own house...

The funny thing is this is basically the exact same story for J. Cole's "Neighbors"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nfVWiXY3WY

Basically he moved to a new bougie neighborhood and the neighbors called the cops on him accusing him of "selling dope" (the primary hook of the 1 minute song). So he took his security footage and made a music video out of it

You can see the SWAT team members casually talking to the neighbors peeking over the fence too lol

You forget the part where the overweight officer takes a sneak at the desserts to um.. check for cocaine?

> bougie

Is this a misspelling (perhaps purposefully?) of “bourgeoisie”?

It's a slang term more common (IME) in speech than writing: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bougie

it’s a shortened version of it common in the US to describe people who’s style/taste/mannerisms are upper middle class.
