Analysis of Rooster Swag
m the Rooster, I strut my stuff
Win the game but but its not enough
Keep on playing, wearing the red
Whipped up rhymes spinning in my head.
Don't know alot, But my verse is sick
so If Im gone let my words stick
I Love to Love and don't forget
the things I told you when we met
Possible insight from my mind
might change the pleasures that you find
So take it in soak it up
Get down, do the hen-house strut
When I step in walls fall out
Telling you what I'm about,
Don't fear the end as It draws nigh'
If you've got me on your side
Ill fight For you with my last breath
Together In Life as In death
Come on in under my wing
listen to the song i sing,
A roosters caw at break of day
Ill keep the hounds of hell at bay,
I put the lion down to sleep
Now for the secrets that you keep.... -Rooster
