For The Rats

I wonder why nobody ever did a song for you

It's like, you can't go out like you used to

Nobody really likes you

Now I know you didn't think I wasn't gunna say nothin'

Haha

This is for the rats

The ones that stab their main dudes in the backs

I wander how you even live life after that

Rats

How you sleep at night

How you convince yourself that what you did was right

This is for the rats

The ones that stab their main dudes in the backs

I wander how you even live life after that

Rats

How you sleep at night

How you convince yourself that what you did was right

Now a rats not a snitch, and a snitch not a rat

A snitch is bad, but a rats much worse than that

A snitch'll bring your name up in interrogation

A rat'll wear a wire and gather information

A rat gets fat off the next mans crumbs

Without the next man

The rat'll be a bum

Stay cool off his air, warm off his heat

I've seen 'em borrow shoes off the next man's feet

Treated his closet like a clothin' store

He loved you so much

He'll go to war

With anybody for mistreatin' you

I heard people tell him, you need to watch lil' dude

Watch dude

Naw I need to be watchin' you

He tha truest lil' rider in tha crew

Haha

Well, uh we all know that ain't true

And I'll never know what dude saw in your

This is for the rats

The ones that stab their main dudes in the backs

I wander how you even live life after that

Ain't that ya ace boon coon on nothin' but love

That's ya road dog right

I seen ya up in tha club

That's ya boy there

Ya number one dude

Well, uh why's he on tha witness stand pointin' at you

He showed up in a new suit, you showed up in cuffs

He drove somethin' foreign, you came in a bus

Remember he had been outta town and you took him to Key Largo

Had that lil' country boy eatin' at Scargo

You told him it was snails

He just said "so"

Getting shot gun shells

To get that dope

He was so tenacious, so courageous

It's like a brother that you never had

He ain't had no mom or dad

So you took him in

Showed him the right way

Took him to Vegas on his 21st birthday

You never woulda thought you'd see him

In a court room sittin' over there with them

This is for the rats

The ones that stab their main dudes in the backs

I wander how you even live life after that

Rats

How you sleep at night

How you convince yourself that what you did was right

You in tha cell

He in tha suite

You on the rec yard

He on tha streets

He in tha club, takin' pictures, gettin' love

You lookin' at pictures of when you was in tha club

With tha Prada shades, Dolce and Gabana

Gucci from tha boutique, down in tha Bahamas

Now ya mama's on tha other side of that glass

And a hour visitation sure goes by fast

Tryin' to raise a son, over tha phone

Tellin' his mama, you don't wanna see her alone

Baby move on, ya need a man with paper

And when he come home, tha baby gunna have babies

Maybe he can deal with tha heart break sooner

If he just press 5 and hand tha phone to Junior

Everytime he say "daddy, when you comin' back"

All he can think about is killin' that rat

This is for the rats

The ones that stab their main dudes in the backs

Yeahh

There's a whole lot of y'all I can't give no shout out

Cause you might have like ongoing investigations with them people

I don't wanna get charged with

Interferin" in like, a federal, in whatever ya got

All you snitches

Snitchin' about baseball, snitchin' about tha streets

It's tha same thang

You playin' with a man livelihood and usually

It's somebody that tried to help you my brother
