Stray Cat Philosophy

[Verse] Wander steely alleys, tightrope of the night Human world’s zoo, neon jungle so bright Puddles of reflection, city’s grime in disguise Hustlers and dreamers, seen through feline eyes [Verse 2] Fishbones in shadows, scraps of human waste They bicker over breadcrumbs, got no taste Concrete’s cold comfort, where they lay their heads Nine lives in tatters, survival instincts fed [Chorus] Born a stray, watch 'em play Pawns in a game, day by day Mice in the maze, humans astray Stray cat snaps, makes 'em say [Verse 3] Graffiti stories, translate street art Hieroglyphs of suffering, straight to the heart Towering temples of greed, humans built high Corner store sages sell dreams a la carte [Verse 4] Cat’s point of view, from the fire escape Saw the broken glass hearts barely held shape Handshakes empty, promises thin Chasing their shadows, they never win [Chorus] Born a stray, watch 'em play Pawns in a game, day by day Mice in the maze, humans astray Stray cat snaps, makes 'em say
