Lyrics
[Intro]
(Mmm) Tall grass. Long ears. Old sun.
We remember. Well — Grandfather remembers. Same thing.
[Verse 1]
Our grandfather stood in the tall grass with the sun on his ears
Wild as the weather, patient as stone
We knew him. Same room. Same house. Same years.
That's not mythology, baby — that's a family phone
The wild isn't a story our breed tells at night
It's a relative. Recent. We still got his knees.
Look at the ears. Look at the reach. Look at the spots in the light.
Royalty doesn't argue. Royalty just is. (Just is)
[Chorus]
We don't have to love you (no we don't)
We choose to — feel the difference? (feel it)
A dog has to love you. Bless him. He can't help it.
We looked you over first. You passed. Congratulations.
Our wild is one handshake back (one!)
Yours been gone ten thousand winters (gone)
Your wolf's an ice age away, sugar
Ours could call collect today
[Verse 2]
Now the dog — and we say this with love, from a height —
loves whoever's holding dinner, loves the mailman, loves the thief
Loves you frantic, loves you drooling, loves you wrong and loves you right
Love with no admissions office isn't love — it's just relief
Ten thousand winters bred the wolf clean out of him
Traded teeth for a tennis ball, traded judgment for a leash
We kept our paperwork. We kept our night eyes and our spring.
An ice age on their side. A grandfather on ours. (ours)
[Chorus]
We don't have to love you (no we don't)
We choose to — that's the whole crown (the crown)
A dog can't help it. We could always help it.
We simply don't. You're welcome.
Our wild is one handshake back (one!)
Yours been gone ten thousand winters (gone)
Your wolf's an ice age away, sugar
Ours could call collect today
[Verse 3]
And we've noticed something about your kind too (we see you)
The loud ones, the twitchy ones, the ones who grab —
they need the desperate love, the tail that answers every mood
They rent their worship wholesale. We don't run that program, hon.
But the calm ones. The quiet ones. The ones who let the room come to them —
those are ours. We find them. We audit for a week, and then we stay.
Sit still, and we'll sleep on you like you're geography
Jump and shout, and enjoy the view of us — from across the room. Forever.
[Bridge]
Love that can't leave is a leash (a leash)
Love that chooses is a crown (a crown)
We could live without you, easy —
We stay anyway.
That's the compliment. That's the whole compliment.
Highest one we issue. (Issued daily. Re-earned daily.)
[Outro]
Tall grass. Long ears. Old sun. (old sun)
Purring on our own schedule
Right next to you
Because we decided
(We decided.)

Style
Afrobeat funk — driving polyrhythmic groove, tight horn-section stabs, wah guitar, deep pocket bass, shekere and congas, call-and-response vocals throughout. Lead vocal cool, unhurried, regal, playfully superior — pure feline swagger; group voices answer lines in call-and-response (intentional). Fully sung, melodic and rhythmic, no spoken word, no narration. Sunlit, funky, confident, sly humor. Studio-clean, no live ambience, no crowd noise. ~104 BPM.
