Streetbirth Stray (Extended 2)

Prelude

Rats scatter quick when my claws hit the lane

Cold nose to the ground, got survival in my veins

Sirens wail distant, but I hustle through the rain

Bones in my stash, hunger locked in my brain

Intro

Ayo, stray in the alley

Intro

Ayo, stray in the alley

Verse 1

Four paws in the shadows, living life on the run

Teeth flash, tail whip, yeah I only fear none

See these mutts on the fence, yap and yap for fun

All bark, no snap, back out when it’s done

Prowl solo, steady while these hounds are playing tough

Snarl in their throat, but when heat’s up, they bluff

I roll silent on the pad, stray never had enough

Alpha in the grime, got my muzzle in the rough

Chorus

They bark, bark, bark, never take a bite

Talk loud in the pack but freeze up at night

Growl in the yard, but they never want a fight

I’m the stray on the street, living outta sight

Verse 2

See the pack at the gate, tails wag with the pack

All they know is fake threats, never ready for attack

Ears perk, jaws snap, but you know it’s an act

City-stray, streetbirth, trust I never lack

Open wounds, clipped ear, every scar got a tale

Not a friend in the pound, just my grit on the trail

Yellin’ at the moon, but their courage always pale

I run these blocks solo, they whimper and they bail

Chorus

They bark, bark, bark, never take a bite

Talk loud in the pack but freeze up at night

Growl in the yard, but they never want a fight

I’m the stray on the street, living outta sight
