[Verse 1]
Big goals, little faith
Bite my tongue, know my place
MUDRAT centre stage
Came a long way from a pup in a cage
Fought for my life just to fight for a life
Where my landlord decides that the rent's gonna spike
The cunt's ninety-two years old and hoarding to die
If it's dog eating dog, what's a dog with no bite?
[Chorus]
Yeah, do you wanna break free?
Yeah, do you wanna break free?
Yeah, do you wanna break free?
All my life I've been tryna break free
Yeah, do you wanna break free?
Yeah, do you wanna break free?
Yeah, do you wanna break free?
All my life I've been tryna break free
[Verse 2]
So tough
So tough that my life was a gym that I had to get buff
Thank my daddy for a bit of tough love
What's a hard-knock life when your chance's been fucked
I'm my mother's son, the hardest cunt
She took the motherfucker head on and sparked a blunt
I'm fired on dice, she swung when she heard me come
My mother dove, she lost her [?]
[?], Never did, never done
What's a cub to a lion? What's a lion to a cub?
For she fought for her life, just to fight for my life
If it's dog eating dog, what's a dog with no bite?
[Bridge]
MUDRAT, leader of the scum
MUDRAT, leader of the scum
MUDRAT, leader of the scum
All my life I've been under your thumb
All my life I've been under your thumb
All my life I've been under your thumb
All my life I've been under your thumb
'Til I bit that bitch ba-ra-ba-ba-ba
[Chorus]
Yeah, do you wanna break free?
Yeah, do you wanna break free?
Yeah, do you wanna break free?
All my life I've been tryna break free
Yeah, do you wanna break free?
Yeah, do you wanna break free?
Yeah, do you wanna break free?
All my life I've been tryna break free
Do you wanna break free?
(What's free?)
[Verse 3]
It's 2003
The summer holidays
I'm running under sprinklers, playing with other kids
We're staying out 'til dark at a caravan park
They were on a family trip
It was where my father lived
The slight smell of piss on the carpet isn't missed
You develop an affinity for all that you will sniff
Like an alcoholic's pits, cigarettes and spliffs
But he keeps getting funnier with each and every sip
You learn to tuck him in
Another film he never fin
Yet you're more locked in upon the helm that's ever been
You're too young to make the sense of all the irony within
Like the way the rhyming is a type of writing of a pen
What's a rat to a rabbit but a rapper's genesis?
A caravan and trailer park synonymous with hits
You fought for the right to be nice with the wrist
What's a dog without a fight, but a fight without a fist?
[Outro]
My life under your thumb
All my life I've been under your thumb
My life under your thumb
All my life I've been under your thumb
Do you wanna break free?
Do you wanna break free?
Do you wanna break free?
All my life I've been tryna break free
