Rat Lets The Cat Outta The Bag

There's more than one way to skin a cat. Here's ma concern - what are the steps?

Figured it's ma bad, things turn so sad. So i put on ma thinking cap. My cap's crapped. It sends me jacks. I dropped the cap, not because behind the ears, it's wet, but because i cant take anymo grief to add. Let me find the reason to clap, fo' if not imma hit the rehabs.
