Rat

I saw the flash of gunfire inside the house
I saw my cousin Axel as he ran out
He ducked the ghetto bird into an alley way
I saw his eyes, I know he saw me
These shadow streets cast shadows of doubt
I saw it, I saw, I saw it all
But a rat is a rat is a rat
A rat tat tat tat tat
Turn your back on your blood
You deserve what you get
I will be your alibi
A rat is a rat is a rat
A rat tat tat tat tat
A rat is a rat
Do we have a problem? His hand on my back
Eyes shot with blood, he ordered two shots of Jack
Because the way I see it, you're now a part of this
If you don't speak, you're an accomplice
And if you speak, you got bigger problems than that
I saw it, I saw, I saw it all
But a rat is a rat is a rat
A rat tat tat tat tat
Turn your back on your blood
You deserve what you get
I will be your alibi
A rat is a rat is a rat
A rat tat tat tat tat
A rat is a rat
I saw it, I saw
I saw it, I saw
I saw it, I saw, I saw it all
But a rat is a rat is a rat
A rat tat tat tat tat
Turn your back on your blood
You deserve what you get
I will be your alibi
A rat is a rat is a rat
A rat tat tat tat tat
A rat is a
