Bodega Cat Runs the Block
by Big Moss
“This one's my love letter to the corner store cat who ran our block like he held the deed. I kept the drawl slow and let the bass do the strutting.”

Lyrics
Corner store legend, fur like midnight Sleeps on the register, he's the landlord, right Two a.m. shift and he's guarding the chips Tail up high like a flag on a ship Mouse tried to move on the bottom shelf Cat said hold up, handle that yourself Paws on the pavement, he pace like a don Sunrise coming, he ain't tired, he's on Whiskers up, watch him patrol Every single aisle is his stroll Bodega cat runs the block Nine lives, never watch the clock Bodega cat runs the block Sitting on the bread like a throne on a rock Bodega cat, bodega cat runs the block Neighbors come in for a coffee and roll He gives them a look like he's taking a toll Little kid pets him, he allows it once Pet him twice and he's gone, no stunts Rain on the awning, he's dry in the window Neon in his eyes, glowing indigo Delivery guy knows to ask permission Cat in the doorway is the competition Whiskers up, watch him patrol Every single aisle is his stroll Bodega cat runs the block Nine lives, never watch the clock Bodega cat runs the block Sitting on the bread like a throne on a rock Bodega cat, bodega cat runs the block Slow it down, he stretches out long Yawn like a verse in a sleepy song Owner says nothing, he knows who's boss Count the cash, and you count the loss If the cat don't like you Morning rush hits and he's still on duty Sun on his fur, that's a different beauty Hop off the counter, tail like a question Everybody learns a quiet lesson Be kind to the block and the block be kind Respect the small king, leave the shelf aligned Dusk comes round and he's back on the stoop Nine lives deep, and he's leading the group Bodega cat runs the block Nine lives, never watch the clock Bodega cat runs the block Sitting on the bread like a throne on a rock Bodega cat, bodega cat runs the block
