Daddy ain't around PROLLY out doin' crack
AND Scarface told me HE SNITCHES just like a rat

THIS beef shit is for the birds and the birds fly south
And even 50 cent could vouch…

Oh I think I smell a rat

I think I smell a rat…
…walking down the street

Oh I think I smell a rat

…little kids

I think I smell a rat
treating your mother and father
like a welcome mat
I think I smell a rat…

…to the supermarket, check out some specials and rat food.
Get lost in the crowd.
Oh, one way or another I'll getcha, I'll getcha…
…by the wall where I can see it all...
Find out who ya call.
Get you to the supermarket, check out some specials and rat food.

…happened in D.C
This nig named Gotti, he pretend
Mad at us cause Ashanti got a new boyfriend
And it seems your lil' rat turned out…

…a shadow in the shape of wonder
The waves of black
If she's going under I can hold my breath till the sky comes back
Or drown like a rat, rat, rat
He's a rat…
