가사
(Verse 1)
As I traverse through the alleys in the quest for some cheese,
I take a look at my life, thinkin’ about the unseen fees,
‘Cause I’ve been scavengin’ and sneakin’ so long that,
Even the shadows think that my luck is gone.
But I ain’t never chewed a trap that didn’t have a taste,
Me be caught in a snap, would be such a waste.
You better mind how you’re speakin’, and where you’re steppin’,
Or you and your crew might end up regrettin’.
I really hate to rush, but I gotta make haste,
As they falter, I see myself in the predator’s face, fool.
I’m the kind of critter all the young rats aspire,
Living off the scraps, always reachin’ higher.
(Chorus)
Been spendin’ all my nights,
Living in a rodent’s realm.
Survivin’ through the fights,
Living in a rodent’s realm.
We scurry ‘neath the lights,
Living in a rodent’s realm.
We thrive on urban blight,
Living in a rodent’s realm.
(Verse 2)
Look at the world they got me navigatin’,
I can’t live a simple life, always anticipatin’.
So I gotta align with the rodent elite,
Too many human traps got me feelin’ the heat.
I’m a well-read rat with schemes in my mind,
Got my whiskers alert and my senses refined.
I’m a covert operative, scavengin’ seeker,
And my kin are vigilant, don’t provoke the speaker, fool.
Existence hangs by a delicate thread,
I’m livin’ life on edge, not easily misled.
I’m twenty-three months old, but will I see twenty-four?
With the way things unravel, it’s hard to be sure.
(Chorus)
Tell me why are we so blind to see,
That the true threat lies in our unity?
Been spendin’ all my nights,
Living in a rodent’s realm.
Survivin’ through the fights,
Living in a rodent’s realm.
We scurry ‘neath the lights,
Living in a rodent’s realm.
We thrive on urban blight,
Living in a rodent’s realm.
(Verse 3)
Influence and survival, wisdom in our stride,
Moment by moment, we navigate the divide.
Everybody’s hustlin’, but few understand,
The dance of survival in this urban land.
They say I’ve got to learn, but nobody’s here to teach me,
If they can’t comprehend it, how can they reach me?
I guess they can’t, I guess they won’t,
I guess they front; that’s why I know my life is out of luck, fool.
(Chorus)
Been spendin’ all my nights,
Living in a rodent’s realm.
Survivin’ through the fights,
Living in a rodent’s realm.
We scurry ‘neath the lights,
Living in a rodent’s realm.
We thrive on urban blight,
Living in a rodent’s realm.
(Outro)
Tell me why are we so blind to see,
That the true threat lies in our unity?
Been spendin’ all my nights,
Living in a rodent’s realm.
Survivin’ through the fights,
Living in a rodent’s realm.
We scurry ‘neath the lights,
Living in a rodent’s realm.
We thrive on urban blight,
Living in a rodent’s realm.
