Baby threw me with the trash came out in the city dump
Now i am mated with all rodents
and they call me the king rat
Well i live down the corner at day now i rule the streets at night
Well the humans know my name now and they call me the king rat
Well everywhere i go the people stop and say:
Hey man, theres a king rat

The cats all live in fear now cos the rat men will bite back
So don't walk the streets alone now cos the rat men will attack
They used to give us poison to shrivel up our brains
But things are gonna changed now cos you can't keep us so tame
Well everywhere i go the people stop and say:
Hey man, there's a king rat!

Baby threw me with the trash came out in the city dump
Now i'm mated with all rodents and they call me the king rat
Well i live down the corner at day now i rule the streets at night
Well the humans know my name now and they call me the king rat
Well everywhere i go the people stop and say:
Hey man, there's a king rat

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Guana Batz's song King Rat describe the story of a rat who was thrown away with the trash and ended up in the city dump. However, he rose to power by becoming the leader of all rodents and was given the name "King Rat" by humans. The rat now rules the streets at night, causing cats to live in fear and humans to take notice of his presence.

The lyrics suggest a sense of rebellion against the mistreatment of rats by humans. The rat men bite back at cats and attack humans who walk the streets alone. The rats are no longer willing to be tamed by humans who used to give them poison to harm them. The rat now holds power and demands respect from all who come across him.

Overall, the lyrics to King Rat serve as an interesting commentary on societal power dynamics, as well as the potential for even the most overlooked and marginalized creatures to rise to power.
