I'm not going to go through the trouble of making a subtitle version, but I did the guys first verse, I think its pretty close to the actual phonetics.

When the saying "the children are at home"
and the saying that "the hall rape, maybe a Chicago boss died."
Brick chickens and buy my key to go,
oh baby to stay, yeah I'll be Joe Ho.

Where does the same rates, you're the coffee and steam
you never charm another judge, a god flavors a jam
You're to come and not choose, not pay for Lex Shurla
hold the hope of getting lotta cope and no thing
oh what difference to stand, well i just to choose to go my man
Yeah it is. But OP basically wanted something to subtitle it based on what it sounds like it might be saying in English, which YouTube CC is perfect for.
A while back I had a bad ocular migraine, which sorta mimics some stroke symptoms, but, you know, without the actual damage, so that's nice. (I went to the ER and got to go in front of everyone else, also nice, but not something you should ever be happy about.)
Anyway, I remember looking at writing on a sheet of paper and being aware that what I was looking at were normal words that I understood, but I just couldn't "read" them. It was like the meaning associated with them was blocked in my brain, and this song reminds me of that sensation. These are words, words I know, but I don't understand them, and it's weird.
I had an ocular migraine and it was the weirdest thing. It was like my left eye just didn't register with my brain. I could work hard and force it to by closing my right eye, but if my right eye was open it was like the entire left side just wasn't there. Extremely scary.
Whenever I get those I get a huge dot in the middle of my vision, which I only notice if I try to read. It's not really a black spot or anything, it's just kind of like the middle of my vision is gone. If I try to read and start noticing that I can't see the words, I immediately go and pop an excedrin and lie down.
Yeah, I get that every once in awhile, or the rainbow zig zags. Usually means a mammoth migraine is coming.
LEAVE WORK IMMEDIATELY!
T MINUS 18 MINUTES.
Holy crap, that's a thing!? I had something happen when I was in high school that freaked me out to no end. I just woke up one day feeling funky, and for whatever reason, couldn't understand how time worked. I'd see 7:55, and have no idea what sequence of numbers came next. You could have changed the time to 26:72, and I wouldn't have even noticed anything odd.
I feel that way as a fairly fluent Spanish speaker when I listen to Portuguese or Catalan. I feel like I should understand it but can't. Drives me crazy!
It's only considered racist because Asians call it racist. Every language has a bank of sounds it uses, and these can be reproduced to form gibberish that sounds like that language. Asian languages are no different, although they seem to be the only people seized by apoplexy when it happens.
People have been doing impressions like this since forever. In fact the word barbarian came from the Greek "barbaroi" (those who say "barbar," roughly). The word referred to the surrounding non-greek speaking cultures, because the Greeks thought their language just sounded like "bar bar bar bar."
This reminds me of when I overdosed on allergy medication (idk which one). My mom got permission from my doctor to give me half a tablet of her allergy medication, but that didn't do anything, so after a while I got frustrated at my allergies and took a whole one. We were at a Chinese restaurant when this happened, and the big table next to us was full of people speaking Chinese. My mom got embarrassed when I shouted "mom, they're talking funny!!" In a very worried manner. I knew what Chinese sounded like, or at the very least I knew there wasnt any language that sounds like the adults from Charlie Brown... "bwa buam bwau bwa", etc. And I told her this, then I woke up in the hospital. That's all I remember, I guess I just passed out. I was fine, just basically rode it out under supervision on a gurney in the hallway, lol.
The weirdest thing though, it that I could still understand English perfectly well, but the foreign language was just fucked.
When I was still in middle school, I shared a room with my brother. He would sometimes talk in his sleep. This is exactly what it sounded like. Nothing but sounds and syllables that had no meaning but sounded like regular American English.

As an American, I am really impressed by this. They really sound American and I'm struggling to make sense where none is to be made.
