I Hate Cats - Propaganda

What’s up?

How y’all feeling tonight?

Y’all good?

Well, check this out, man, let me tell y’all a lil' story

See, when I would leave for tour, my wife and my daughter---

(Well, this was before like, my baby daughter was born)

They would--- they would bond by going to these animal shelters

And playing with the cats and see, here’s the thing:

I hate cats

Well, hate is a strong word

It’s just that I’m a dog person

And cats -- demon spawn, see I don’t trust 'em

They always looking like they planning a murder, right?

Like cats be putting in work

You ever watched a movie?

What does the weird old lady have?

What about the villain’s pet?

They evil!

See, ancient Egyptians, they knew that and they built the pyramids

So they was on to something, right?

Well, I would receive these--- these terrifying pictures in my texts

Of my daughter smiling in the throes of full bliss

Holding what has to be the biggest letdown of a cousin

I mean, cats are related to lions

You share taxonomy with tigers -- tigers!

Why are you so cupcake?

Why does my daughter wanna bring you home?

Of all things, a cat!

See, I hate cats!

Well, hate is a strong word, you know what I’m saying?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not like a-- like a bigot or nothing

I mean, it’s not like I like… I mean, I don’t see species, you know what I

mean?

My babysitter, when I was a kid, see, she had a cat

And I’m sure there are nice God-fearing people that have cats in they house

It’s just not in my home, see, they stink

They be rubbin' they terrible pheromones all over my furniture

But alas, kicking and screaming, I forced a smile on my face when my daughter

brings this terrible thing home

I’m gonna be honest: I thought I raised her better than that!

See, we are a dog family, we stick to our own kind

Why couldn’t you love a dog?

This is just the voice of a concerned father, see

See, people may think a certain way about her when she walk down the street

And why you walking a cat anyway?

They gon' think I ain’t raised my child well

And it’s not like this cat has done anything to me personally

I just know they kind, I mean, I seen 'em on the news

They be tearing up the homes they owners provide for 'em

Why would you tear up your own home?

How come cats can’t be grateful?

Why are all cats lazy?

They be complainin' about they oppression

You see it in they eyes

Don’t the people that take care of you take care of you well?

Haven’t we had cats in the White House?

Ain’t that enough?

But then this cat got in my house and, to be honest, it was kind of different

I actually enjoyed my time with him, but--but--but---

But the--but the point is I love my daughter

And I’ve already made my decision

And it’s not the cat’s fault

I just hate they kind

Well… hate is a strong word

It’s just my heritage, I come from a dog family

It’s heritage, not hate, right?

Hate’s a strong word

We still talkin' about cats, right?
