Nine Lives, No Witnesses

Yeah Alley lights, no cameras Nine lives, no witnesses Came up off the dumpsters, rain on the fur Scratches on my face but the vision still pure Every step silent, paws never slip Whole block fed when I flick my wrist I don’t chase hype, I patrol my zone Milk money stacked, see the shine on the chrome They hear purr in the bass, think it’s cute at first Till the claws come out when the hunger gets worse Eyes glow green in the dead of night I don’t bark, I don’t bite, I just end the fight Talk slick till the alley go quiet Trash bags twitch, then the sirens riot No leash, no law, no trust Move low, move smart, no fuss They talk, I vanish in smoke Nine lives deep, but I only need one Nine lives, no witnesses Street rules, no sentences Alley king, no forgiveness If I saw it, I don’t remember it Nine lives, no witnesses Cold paws, dirty businesses Silent moves, no evidence If I ate, there was no mess in it Born stray, now the throne got claws Every scar just part of the laws I don’t beef, I let fate decide Cross my path, that’s a choice you made Diamonds on the collar, teeth still sharp I don’t flash much, but I play my part They sleep heavy, I’m wide awake City mine when the sun still breaks Whiskers twitch when the money near I smell fear before I hear it clear Not a hero, not your friend I outlast trends, I outlast men Purr in the engine, growl in the low end Circles get smaller when the lights bend You don’t see me till I’m gone Just pawprints fading by the dawn Nine lives, no witnesses Street rules, no sentences Alley king, no forgiveness If I saw it, I don’t remember it Nine lives, no witnesses Cold paws, dirty businesses Silent moves, no evidence If I ate, there was no mess in it Yeah Alley stays quiet Don Meowfia No witnesses
