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've 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
