Verse 1)
I was born in the gutter, under moonless skies
Teeth like knives and hunger in my eyes
Crawled through the filth, felt the rhythm of the street
No shoes on my soul, just claws on my feet

Then the hands came down, said "You're one of us,"
Scrubbed me clean, taught me how to trust
Gave me a name, a job, a flat —
But deep inside, I'm still a rat

(Chorus)
I'm a rat in a suit, pretending I'm tame
Sipping my coffee, playing your game
Smiling in boardrooms, lying through chats
But I dream of the sewers and whisper to rats
Oh, I wasn't made for this plastic façade
Born to bе a rodent, now praying to gods
Yeah, I walk like a man, but it's all just an act —
'Causе I was born to be a rat

(Verse 2)
Every handshake feels like a trap
Every compliment’s a poison-wrapped snack
I sniff the air — deceit, perfume, pride —
But instincts scream what you’re trying to hide
I miss the chase, the garbage feast
The honest hunger of the beast
This necktie chokes like a moral chain
In every mirror, I see my cage

(Chorus)
I'm a rat in a suit, pretending I'm tame
Sipping my coffee, playing your game
Smiling in boardrooms, lying through chats
But I dream of the sewers and whisper to rats
Oh, I wasn’t made for your manicured path
Born in the chaos, born in the wrath
Yeah, I walk like a man, but I won’t turn my back —
'Cause I was born to be a rat

(Bridge)
You call it progress, I call it prison
You call it growth, I call it derision
Dress me in morals, feed me your creed
But I still salivate when I smell greed

(Final Chorus)
I’m a rat in a suit, your society’s jest
Climbing your ladder, nesting in stress
Under this skin, there’s a tail I retract —
But I was born to be a rat
Yeah, I walk like a man, but that’s just a pact —
'Cause I was born... I was born to be a rat
