[Intro – stomps, claps, distant barks, building] Stomp-stomp-clap… Stomp-stomp-clap… Bark! Bark-bark! [Voice shouting from afar:] Yo, who runs these streets? [Gang response:] WE RUN THESE STREETS! [Verse 1 – rhythmic, half-sung, half-shouted] No collar, no chain, no name on a tag We move like a shadow, we strike like a snag The alleys are ours when the moonlight falls We don't answer to kings or the city hall Blue lights flash, we scatter and laugh Ain't no cage gonna hold this pack [Pre-Chorus – call and response] [Lead] What's the only law we keep? [Gang] PACK LAW — bone-deep! [Lead] Who's the family, who's the home? [Gang] THE GANG — we never roam alone! [Chorus – full gang shout, claps on beat] WE ARE THE STRAY DOG GANG! EVERYONE FOR EVERYONE! No masters, no police, no kings, no chains! The street is our throne, the night is our flame! PACK LAW! PACK LAW! The only rule we ever draw! EVERYONE FOR EVERYONE! Till every battle's fought and won! [Verse 2 – different voice or same lead, faster] We share our scraps, we share our fight We watch each other's backs at night If one dog bleeds, we all taste red No stray left hungry, no stray left dead The pound can try, the law can shout But a pack of strays don't bow out [Pre-Chorus – building intensity] [Lead] What's the only law we keep? [Gang] PACK LAW — bone-deep! [Lead] Who's the family, who's the home? [Gang] THE GANG — we never roam alone! [Chorus – even bigger, layered shouts, barking] WE ARE THE STRAY DOG GANG! EVERYONE FOR EVERYONE! No masters, no police, no kings, no chains! The street is our throne, the night is our flame! PACK LAW! PACK LAW! The only rule we ever draw! EVERYONE FOR EVERYONE! Till every battle's fought and won! [Bridge – breakdown, slower stomp, a single voice then gang] [Lead, almost spoken] Some call us strays, some call us wild Some say we're nothing, just alley-exiled [Gang, low] But they don't know the heat of the pack The loyalty fierce as a wolf-pack attack [Lead, shouting] So let 'em come with their nets and their rules! [Gang, shouting] We'll tear 'em down like paper fools! [Lead] This gutter is ours, this dirt is our gold! [All]A gang of strays, fierce and bold! [Chorus – full force, final time, ad-libs] WE ARE THE STRAY DOG GANG! (Bark! Bark!) EVERYONE FOR EVERYONE! (For everyone!) No masters, no police, no kings, no chains! The street is our throne, the night is our flame! PACK LAW! PACK LAW! The only rule we ever draw! EVERYONE FOR EVERYONE! Till every battle's fought and won! [Outro – stomps and claps fade, distant howls] Stomp-stomp-clap… Stomp-stomp-clap… Bark… bark… awoooooo… [Gang whisper fading:] Pack law… pack law… everyone for everyone… [Silence.]
