Zerlith – “Hood Rats” (Intro – spoken, playful & high) I do this in my spare time… I do music for fun So let’s have some fun… (Verse 1) Early in the morning, put bags on they back Skating past the teachers, never stayed on track Back of the classroom, feet up, chair tilted back Teacher screaming “Sit down!” — they just laughed and talked smack Principal stayed calling, momma stayed stressed Same two names every week, she was tired of the mess Cutting class like pros, selling candy in the hall Whole school knew the vibe when the hood rats walked the hall (Chorus) They call them the hood rats, the hood brats Here come the hood rats, the hood brats They call them the hood rats, the hood brats Here come the hood rats… the hood brats! (Chorus) They call them the hood rats, the hood brats Here come the hood rats, the hood brats! (Verse 2) Soon as the last bell ring, they took over the corner Rolling dice, smoking loud, popping bottles like it’s normal Pretty girls passing by, they’d lick they lips, “Psst, hello” Some girls played along, some girls already knew the code (Bridge) But the streets don’t love you back, that’s a cold hard fact One got caught with work, now he doing time in the back The other one just dipped, vanished in the wind Left the whole hood asking “Man… where the hell you been?” (Final Chorus) They call them the hood rats, the hood brats There goes the hood rats… the hood brats… (Outro – high, playful & laughing) Oviair… Over. It’s the girl Zerly, always and forever… My two brothers man… laughs Oh my god…
