Hood Rats

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, Hood Rats in the room, packs on the table Chuck Chase running point, everybody unstable [Verse 1] Chase is the captain, soccer star with the cleats Then he tears a booster pack and starts jumping to the beat Rodney’s got sleeves, Nicole’s got a binder Amanda pulls a holo and the whole crew gets louder Chuck’s our dog, Pokémon badge on his chain He sniffs out a rare card like he’s tracking a train At the convention all day, badges swinging from the lanyards Buying every mystery box, emptying the gift-card balance [Pre-Chorus] Tito and Sprite, zero sugar in the cup We say our coded words, then the whole room erupts R-rated jokes, grown folks only at the door When the packs hit the table, we’re addicted to the score [Chorus] We’re the Hood Rats, ripping packs all night Chase calls the play and the pulls feel right Chuck in the jersey, barking when we win Pokémon convention, let the chaos begin We love dancing together, acting out of control Got a closet full of cards and a pocket full of rolls Hood Rats, yeah, the crew stays tight One more pack, one more pack, one more pack tonight [Verse 2] Rodney says, “Sleeve that,” Nicole says, “Check the centering” Amanda hits a secret rare, now the whole squad’s entering A filthy little party with the grown-up jokes loud But keep it as a code when the kids walk through the crowd We don’t need a gym badge, we’re already elite Chase dribbles past defenders, then moonwalks on beat Chuck guards the cards like a champion hound If anybody touches the binder, he circles around [Bridge] No slurs in the chant, just our nonsense code A private little phrase on the overload We laugh, we dance, we argue, then we open one more A cardboard treasure hunt across the convention floor [Chorus] We’re the Hood Rats, ripping packs all night Chase calls the play and the pulls feel right Chuck in the jersey, barking when we win Pokémon convention, let the chaos begin We love dancing together, acting out of control Got a closet full of cards and a pocket full of rolls Hood Rats, yeah, the crew stays tight One more pack, one more pack, one more pack tonight [Outro] Chase, Rodney, Nicole, Amanda in formation Chuck the dog mascot of the pack-opening nation Tito and Sprite, zero, raise it up high Hood Rats forever—another booster, another try
