Step right in where the beat don't lie
A cage in the dark and a scent in the sky
Got a chicken strut with a cluck so sly
But I ain't here for wings or pie
They locked me in with a riddle scent
Chemical high like heaven-sent
Told me kill it nah I relent
They want me primal but I'm bent
Blood on the floor's got rhythm
Spinnin like vinyl with venom
They want me to bite ignite take flight
But I see the wires in the prism
Swing low let the curtain sway
I'm the tiger who won't obey
This ain't instinct baby this is play
And the real test hides in the cabaret
I'm dancin on blood that I didn't spill
Caught in the jazz of a phantom thrill
They edge me close to the kill
But I know yeah I know I'm the bait they feel
Chicken clucks like it owns the stage
Heartbeat hums like it's caught in a cage
We both know the rules we both know the rage
I sip on suspense like a beast turned sage
They dipped that bird in twisted cologne
Perfume built out of flesh and bone
They want reaction snap and moan
I pace the floor like a cat full grown
Why'd they give me the urge with no bite
Taste of the dark but no green light
It's a loop a trap a twisted rite
Yet I stay cause wrong feels right
Eyes on glass but I still see
This whole test ain't about the meat
It's about control and they bet on me
Music plays and I'm dancing free
Swing low let the silence sting
I won't crown them kings of this little ring
The chicken lives while I clip my wings
Real high's in the not doing thing
I'm prowlin through scents I'm soaked in signs
Stalkin through orchestrated lines
They wrote the sheet but I change the rhymes
I'm the jazz in their clockwork crimes
Let the beat drip slow from the air
I'll stay right here in this poisoned lair
One who resists is the one aware
Tiger don't pounce when the trap's too fair
