High tail (Jack-K)

Yeah…
Four paws on the pavement
But my heart still shakes at home
Woof… let’s go

I walk low to the ground, chest out, chain tight
Jack Russ in the hood, yeah I bark, I bite
Neighbors see me mean, ears sharp, no fear
But my tail tells secrets I don’t want you to hear

I’m tough on the leash, pulling hard, no doubt
But the vacuum cleaner make me freak the f*** out
I act like a king when I pee on the wall
But thunder hits once and I’m shaking in the hall

Street lights glow when I pass that block
But I freeze every time that the doorbell knocks
I growl at the world, yeah I snap, I stare
But I hide under couches when nobody’s there

They think I’m savage, they think I’m cold
But I sleep curled up when the night gets old
I bite the air like I run this town
But I’m scared of the silence when the lights go down

Small dog, big bark, loud in the dark
Actin’ like a wolf but I’m scared in the park
I howl like I’m street, like I’m born for the fight
But I whimper in the kitchen in the middle of the night

Small dog, big bark, heart in my chest
Concrete on my paws, fear under my bed
I rap like I rule it, like I don’t care
But I’m still just a dog tryin’ to breathe clean air

I see my reflection in the window glass
Tryna look hard, but I see my past
I was small from birth, had to learn real fast
How to bark real loud so they let me pass

Mailman ops, yeah I scream at his ride
But if he steps inside, I’m gone, I hide
I flex on the cats, yeah I talk that talk
But one slippery floor and I can’t even walk

Got bones in my dreams, got rules in my cage
Got love from my human but I still feel caged
I chase every car like I’m built for the run
But I come back home when the daylight’s done

Why my heart beat fast when the house goes quiet?
Why my paws shake when the world gets silent?
I bark at ghosts I don’t wanna see
Tryna scare away what’s inside of me

Small dog, big bark, loud in the dark
Actin’ like a wolf but I’m scared in the park
I howl like I’m street, like I’m born for the fight
But I whimper in the kitchen in the middle of the night

Small dog, big bark, teeth so white
But I sleep with one eye open every night
I play the tough role, yeah I play my part
But don’t look too close at a dog’s heart

I bark ’cause I’m small
I bark ’cause I care
I bark ’cause this world way bigger than me

Still…
I guard this house
Even when I’m scared

Woof
