Pecking Back

Tried to scoop you up (quick grab) But you weren't feeling that vibe, not I Why you gotta peck so unkind Must've seen the threat in my time When my thumb was nigh [Chorus] You may be small with feathers when the farm wakes up in broad daylight (broad daylight) But your beak fierce and your grip so mighty when I tried (Listen) Yeah you strut in the pen, but that peck was straight unkind Coop full of corn but it's my thumb you find, in this farm life [Post-Chorus] Now gotta nurse my hand back to life Gave you space (watch out) Cause you're the boss with your crown, no lie Should've known you pack a mean surprise Hen with attitude, not just cluckin' for fries Can't deceive those beady eyes [Chorus 2] In the yard you rule with feathers shimmering bright (shimmering bright) But your snap quick, left a mark on me tonight (oh snap) Sure you're cute in your strut, but you pack a mean bite Farm's full of grain but it's my skin you incite, in this farm plight Man, I just wanted a cuddle (hold tight) Not to step into a featherweight fight, that's right Always thought you were soft, now I see the might Got my hand throbbing through the daylight (it ain't right) [Verse 3] Tripped up in your henhouse, learned my lesson (that's true) Thumb swollen up, no more guessin' (it's blue) You rule your roost with a peck, no caressin' My thumb's a casualty of your aggression (ouch!) [Pre-Chorus] But I'll keep my distance, let you be the queen (all hail) You showed me the pecking order ain't what it seems (no bail) This bird got an attitude, winged warrior in the barn (stand back) Should've known better than to charm, a hen that's armed (with a beak) Feathers flyin', I'm just tryin', but she took offense (no defense) Giving new meaning to 'chicken scratch', that's my two cents (that's my thumb) [Pre-Chorus] Thought you were poultry, not a brawler with claws (cluck cluck) Crossed the line, now I'm lickin' my paws (more like thumbs) This ain't Old MacDonald's, it's her fight club by laws (no pause) She got that pecking order, thumb wars, with cause (ouch, that's sore)
