Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
[Verse 3]
When you open your mouth, you don't talk, you shout
And you give everybody the blame
Well they'll catch you up, they will shut you up
And you got no one to blame
[Verse 4]
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
[Verse 5]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah
[Verse 6]
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
[Verse 7]
When you're out on the street, you practice lies and deceit
And you scandalize my name
When I catch you up, I'm gonna pull you up
I'm gonna check out inside your brain
[Verse 8]
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
[Verse 9]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah
[Verse 10]
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
[Verse 11]
When you dip 'pon the scene, you make everyone scream
Because they know you're so unjust
When they catch you up, they will kick you up
Because you're someone they just can't trust
[Verse 12]
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
[Verse 13]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah
[Verse 14]
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
[Verse 15]
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
[Verse 16]
All of you, all of you, stop the rhythm, why can't you reach
Nice on the bars, watchin' 'em
Rewind this written track to the start
Because right about now, we have a ripple version
Sing with a different style and pattern
Better known as a urban version
Gun it
