Pack of Rats is a single released by Rusty and the song gives a detailed description on the life of a “Rat King” A rat king is a rat that gets rats enclosed in a small place and craps on their tails getting them stuck so they can eat them.
[Verse 1]
Yo I'm just looking for some action
Some passion
Some bad shit's gonna happen tonight
And I go wallow in the gutter til' my mind gets right
Well yo my gut aches
So I gotta get what I can get until I get better
A fish skeleton or piece of cheddar
Anything at all to keep away my death letter
And I don't know if you can understand
But I gotta scurry in a hurry
Because I ain't the only one with a plan
You see? We're in the hundreds of thousands
All mouthin' and prowlin' inside of ya' houses
Inside of your walls when we crawl you can hear us scratch
Lookin' for crumbs
Diggin' through your trash
Yeah, it ain't a glorious life
Infested with filth and fleas
But our numbers are rife
And when you see me I'll be pissin' on your box spring
Shit, you can call me the Rat King
Ayo, I warned you
I wouldn't slumber
You're outnumbered and none of us are gonna die of hunger
If I were you I think I'd grab the .22 off the shelf and make a quick draw
But you won't get us all
[Chorus]
Gone too far
Down with the pack
I'm about to hit the floor when I crawl with the rats
Gone too far
Down with the pack
I'm about to hit the floor when I crawl with the rats
I said I'm gone too far
Down with the pack
I'm about to hit the floor when I crawl with the rats
I said I'm gone too far
Down with the pack
I'm about to hit the floor when I crawl with the rats
[Verse 2]
I think I've had enough with the trash
I feel a crash in my senses
Spendin' long days praying that I still get my pension
Spendin' long nights drinkin' out the bottle in the junkyard
Poppin' caps in the rats until my mind is back
I gag at the scent of my own sweat
Liquor and gunk
A mixture of skunk and everything they send to the dump
Well someone's gotta do it right
But now I fear I hear an evil critter creepin' to me through the night
Fuck it
It's just the booze playing tricks with my head
And I know plenty of these villains wanna see me dead
They rather see me in a trash bag tossing
A heap cut into pieces and covered with roaches and leeches
Just a full course meal for the rats
A hundred glowing eyes starin' planning for their attack
With razor sharp claws
Chompin' with their needle-ish teeth
Crawlin' out the sewer
Hard fur matted with grease
I'll be damned if I become deceased
I'm going out on my own terms
I'm outlastin'
I'll be clickin' and blastin'
Kill every one of these scums
Or turn to bloody spam
Shit, I'm the motherfuckin' trash man
[Chorus]
Gone too far
Down with the pack
I'm about to hit the floor when I crawl with the rats
Gone too far
Down with the pack
I'm about to hit the floor when I crawl with the rats
I said I'm gone too far
Down with pack
I'm about to hit the floor when I crawl with the rats
I said I'm gone too far
Down with the pack
I'm about to hit the floor when I crawl with the rats
[Bridge]
I strain my ears but I hear no sound
Maybe someone's digging underground
I love you and I miss you but you're here no more
I'm watching over you while I stand at the floor
[Verse 3]
Ayo we've got you surrounded
One man against a hundred thousand
The scent of your flesh has reached our salivating mouths
Our goal is clear
Go for the throat, eyes, and ears
Attack from everywhere to instigate panic and fear
The horde advances
I'm holding my stance
But I can only catch a few quick glances
Of the massive black shadow moving closer around me
Trying to ground me
These fuckers finally found me
And now we feast
The beast admits defeat
Slowly but surely
Chewing through the flesh exposing the visceral meat
My end is near
It's over
I'm completed
But I still got one round left
Guess I'll have to eat it
