The way this place smells, you'd think it'd be a sewer
Not quite sure what it is but it aint right
Rats will run and have some fun but I can't come and be no one
That can crawl on my knees every night
Down in the heart of Rat City
A place where snakes and roaches call their home
Not just the heart of Rat City
But also the blood, dust, and bone
The way her face looks you'd think that she was smoking crack
Managing the loose sex workers in the back
Rats will come and pay for fun as long as they can shoot their guns
After that, get drunk, and hit the sack
Welcome the rats
And your tired aristocrats
You're never turning back
Once you become a rat
When you become a rat
You're next step could be a trap
