I was raised a good dog
Barking at strangers and dangers
All tooth and claw and fire
Held back by only the short leashes
Of protectiveness and hopelessness

I was raised a good dog
I'll be your safe space, my anger bloody
I will protect you from all
And I will guarantee justice
Even if it scares me
