ANIMAL (J Randy x Nellz R333MIX)
[Intro]
They held me down so long
Got me crawling like an animal
Take it all
Leaving nothing for the cannibals
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
But we gon' take, take, baby, we gon’ take, take back

[Verse 1]
I was born on the outside (Where you from?), uh
94th and Fir down on the south side
See, I was there back when The Forum was great
Before these stupid motherfuckers gave me something to hate, uh
Back when people used to fight for shit
Before the chosen form of protest was to type and shit
Yeah, so don't you act like you don't know me or my homies
We the ones that’s comin' back for what you owe me

[Chorus]
They held me down so long
Got me crawling like an animal
Take it all
Leaving nothing for the cannibals
Can't take this from me
Never gonna break, never gonna break, never gonna
See the end of me
Never gonna break, break (I'm coming at you like an animal)
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
I never wanted this, I'm coming back (I'm coming at you like an animal)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
But we gon' take, take, baby, we gon' take, take back (I’m coming at you like an animal)

[Verse 2]
Hunt me down for the chase and take me by the neck
Lock me up in a cage and this is what you get
Another hundred enraged and we never forget
So meet me out on the pavement (What the fuck you expect?), uh
We’re coming back for what's rightfully ours
We flood the streets and flippin’ cop cars
Knock me flat on my back, I'm lookin' up at the stars
Still ain't afraid to catch a charge

[Chorus]
They held me down so long
Got me crawling like an animal
Take it all
Leaving nothing for the cannibals
Can’t take this from me
Never gonna break, never gonna break, never gonna
See the end of me
Never gonna break, break (I'm coming at you like an animal)
[Post-Chorus]
Got me crawling like an animal

[Verse 3: DMC]
My name is DMC, short for Darryl McDaniels
I'm goin' to the zoo and I'm freein' all the animals
Gonna let 'em know that they shouldn't be in cages
Against the machine my intensity rages
King of the jungle and the world is my kingdom
After I free 'em, I still gotta feed 'em
Ready for a battle and I might take a beatin'
I'm not satisfied until all of us are eatin'
Never gonna break, no shiver or shakin'
Since I escaped, I will never be taken
Broke through the fence, now I'm wild in the streets
Carnivorous because I've gotta eat
Used to be the hunted, now I'm the hunter
When I'm confronted I turn into a monster
And that's how I manage to always bring damage to
Each and every one of you who treat me like an animal

[Chorus]
They held me down so long
Got me crawling like an animal
Take it all
Leaving nothing for the cannibals
Can't take this from me
Never gonna break, never gonna break, never gonna
See the end of me
Never gonna break, break (I'm coming at you like an animal)
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
I never wanted this, I'm coming back (I'm coming at you like an animal)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
But we gon' take, take, baby, we gon' take, take back (I'm coming at you like an animal)

[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
I'ma take back, yeah, I'ma take back (I'm coming at you like an animal)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
'Cause we deserve that, yeah, we deserve that (I'm coming at you like an animal)
