Big Dogs and Cool Cats by Shakim

Big Dogs and Cool Cats

He’s back! He’s back !

Who’s that?

The king of scat.

Our savior of savory melody.

Three flames glow in his throat in perfect time.

To pierce my tongue and kiss my song.

Big dogs howling like men into wolves.

Cool cats screeching like hungry babies in the night

And we will remember the taste of slavery

While we’re strutting through our fight.

We kneel to our memories contrast

Our eyes tearful from the sight.

Told me knowledge is like a great wall,

So pay attention to every brick Big Dog,

That hangs with the cool cats.
