STRAY

F that Stray! (rah, rah, RAH!)

You showed up broken, eyes all wide

No bark, no bite, just rain outside

I opened my door, gave you a name

Took you in close, who knew you’d bring pain

I fed you love, you milked the system

Laid down trust, got snaked in my kingdom

Shoulda known from the start

Strays don’t come without scars

---

F that stray, took more than it need

Bled me dry—I welcomed like a host (glug, glug, glug) "You stopped my bags!"

Never feed a stray—it’ll lead to the slaughter

Stayed for the scraps, but it drained all the water

Guns loaded!—(bang!) it hit me with a stray

Fed it trust? It bit that hand away

Don’t let it stay—it’ll beg, then betray

Strays only lead you astray

You spoke like a prayer, moved like a knife

Carved your betrayal in the shape of my life

Seat at the table, you robbed me blind

I was just a foodstamp. Guess you hit your mark

Praying for my healing, while supping with my demons

I gave my all—you gave me less

Let you inside and now I pay

Lesson learned: never trust a stray

F that stray, took more than it need

Bled me dry—I welcomed like a host (glug, glug, glug) "You stopped my bags!" (Rah, rah, rah!)

Never feed a stray—it’ll lead to the slaughter

Stayed for the scraps, but it drained all the water

Guns loaded—(bang!) it hit me with a stray

Fed it trust? It bit that hand away

Don’t let it stay—it’ll beg, then betray

Strays only lead you astray

I threw you a bone, you got bolder

Greedy mutt, wanted the whole shoulder

We ramped it up, yeah, we raved it up

Toasted to pain, yeah, we played it tough

This one’s for the good times—took the shots (shot, shots)

Gun cocked back—damn, I hit that rover

(Skrrt—roadkill. F! I hit the stray over)

---

Never feed a stray, it'll take food from your daughter

Fought for the scraps, but it drained all the water

Guns loaded—(bang!) it hit me with a stray

Fed it trust? It bit that hand away

Don’t let it stay—it’ll beg, then betray

The stray will lead you astray

Knock knock knock—guess who came begging?

Came in limping, left me crawling

I rose it up, now I’m the one falling

You wore a mask, I saw a friend

Fiend on a mission of omission—I met my end

But strays don’t morph—they maim

And I only got myself to blame

I got bags under my eyes—pumping for the flea

No thanks given, just drained the best of me

It stole my bags—my peace, my pride

Now I’m zipped up, dead inside

(F! That stray, make it pay—won’t rollover, gun reloaded, I hit that stray)

---

F! That stray! (bang bang)

Pulled it back (click click)

No op, ops, opportunists

Oops—I hit a stray (Skrrt)

You stabbed my back, now I’ve turned my back—don’t come back

Ha ha ha... don’t call back—(I’ll hit you right back)

“F! That stray.”
