What's up? How y'all feeling tonight? Y'all good? Well, check this out, man, let me tell y'all a lil' story See, when I would leave for tour, my wife and my daughter--- (Well, this was before like, my baby daughter was born) They would--- they would bond by going to these animal shelters And playing with the cats and see, here's the thing: I hate cats Well, hate is a strong word It's just that I'm a dog person And cats -- demon spawn, see I don't trust 'em They always looking like they planning a murder, right? Like cats be putting in work You ever watched a movie? What does the weird old lady have? What about the villain's pet? They evil! See, ancient Egyptians, they knew that and they built the pyramids So they was on to something, right? Well, I would receive these--- these terrifying pictures in my texts Of my daughter smiling in the throes of full bliss Holding what has to be the biggest letdown of a cousin I mean, cats are related to lions You share taxonomy with tigers -- tigers! Why are you so cupcake? Why does my daughter wanna bring you home? Of all things, a cat! See, I hate cats! SongtexteWell, hate is a strong word, you know what I'm saying? Don't get me wrong, I'm not like a-- like a bigot or nothing I mean, it's not like I like... I mean, I don't see species, you know what I mean? My babysitter, when I was a kid, see, she had a cat And I'm sure there are nice God-fearing people that have cats in they house It's just not in my home, see, they stink They be rubbin' they terrible pheromones all over my furniture But alas, kicking and screaming, I forced a smile on my face when my daughter brings this terrible thing home I'm gonna be honest: I thought I raised her better than that! See, we are a dog family, we stick to our own kind Why couldn't you love a dog? This is just the voice of a concerned father, see See, people may think a certain way about her when she walk down the street And why you walking a cat anyway? They gon' think I ain't raised my child well And it's not like this cat has done anything to me personally I just know they kind, I mean, I seen 'em on the news They be tearing up the homes they owners provide for 'em Why would you tear up your own home? How come cats can't be grateful? Why are all cats lazy? They be complainin' about they oppression You see it in they eyes Don't the people that take care of you take care of you well? Haven't we had cats in the White House? Ain't that enough? But then this cat got in my house and, to be honest, it was kind of different I actually enjoyed my time with him, but--but--but--- But the--but the point is I love my daughter And I've already made my decision And it's not the cat's fault I just hate they kind Well... hate is a strong word It's just my heritage, I come from a dog family It's heritage, not hate, right? Hate's a strong word We still talkin' about cats, right? Aus Songtexte Mania
