21 Savage - Snitches & Rats (Interlude) Lyrics

A regular citizen who reports seeing a crime isn't a "snitch" or a "rat"
The criminals were just sloppy
Snitches and rats are not the same thing
Let me break it down to make sure y'all see what I mean
A "snitch" is someone minding other folks' business
To find information they can sell for a price
Or trade for some other form of compensation
A "rat" is a traitor, a conceiver, planner or physical participator
He doesn't sell secrets for power or cash
He betrays the trust of his team or his family
Hoping to save his own cowardly ass
The difference is, at least a snitch is human
But a rat is a fuckin' rat, period
