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 all but a rat is rat is a rat,
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,
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 apart of this,
If u don't speak you're an accomplice,
And if you speak you've got bigger problems than that."
