Stray Cat
6obby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't go turning your back
And ditch me here all alone
I feel just like a stray cat
Who gets no love has no home
Nobody gives you the chance
If you don't risk it and fall
This year I'm on some new shit
I might just go get it all, get it all

I feel like a stray cat
Just like a stray cat
I swear I might snap
I'm tired of holding back
I feel like a stray cat
Just like a stray cat
I swear I might snap
I'm tired of holding back

My hearts been pounding
Gotta watch my surroundings
Don't know who I can trust
And it's kinda fucked up

Won't fall under pressure
I'm hanging from a web
Won't let go
When I find myself let you know
And when I find myself let you know
Insects crawl thru the cracks
I see the snakes in the grass
I make my way and move past
I gotta watch my own back
My hearts been left in the dust
You think that I give a fuck?
My jacket reeks like a skunk
I think I'm way too fucked up tonight

Miss all the ones that I've lost
My heads been stuck in the clouds
Can't ever make no excuses, I won't ever back down
I'll hold it down till the end
Until we meet once again
Until that day finally comes
I'll hold on, never give up, for you

I feel so locked in a cage
These thoughts that I can't erase
Sometimes I think I might just lose it
Can you help me? Get thru it
I'm stuck inside of a slump
I think that I've had enough
The devil stares when I sleep
It feels like he never leaves at all
It's like spinnin' round in a circle
Always try to drag me in trouble
Try to pull myself out of this mess
Feel like I'm in a different dimension
Don't act like you ever cared
When you left me hanging there
All by myselfs not so bad
I feel just like a stray cat

I feel like a stray cat
Just like a stray cat
I swear I might snap
I'm tired of holding back
I feel like a stray cat
Just like a stray cat




I swear I might snap
I'm tired of holding back

6obby never disappoints 🤘🖤💚💜💚💜

Splodddy

this is actually so good like wtf

Coco

Life isn’t easy, living like a stray cat. I may live in a house, but don’t always call it home. First few months of this year, things got bad at “home”. I had shut myself down, and shut out a really good friend. I felt broken and unfixable, and I felt they deserved better company than I. Apparently, we never did stop thinking about each other. I’m not gonna repeat this mistake, of shutting out someone who really does care. Sometimes, the best of us don’t realize what good friends we have, until we squander them.

We need more BANQ x 6OBBY 🔥

{Lost Dreamer}

6obby always be hitting deep for me 🖤🔥

Andy Glass

Banq went crazy on this beat wow! Talented af good work!🔥

prod. Banq

@Prime Time How did I steal the beat?

Prime Time

I'm sorry dude I made a false assumption. I just listened to a song from safehold called satellite and it had the same beat. I did some research and saw both if these songs came out the exact same day and year July 13 2020. So sorry about that

prod. Banq

@Prime Time It's the same guitar loop from Splice. Two different beats but use the same loop

Edit Major

@Prime Time Maybe you shouldn’t go commenting everywhere that it’s stolen if you didn’t even know, Super ignorant and idiotic on your end. It’s called sampling research it.
