[Intro]
Rwar, rwar!​

[Verse 1]
I have a heart, I swear I do
But just not baby, when it comes to you
I get so hungry when you say you love me
(Hush) if you know what's good for you
I think you're hot, I think you're cool
You're the kind of guy I'd stalk in school
But now that I'm famous, you're up my anus
Now I'm gonna eat you fool

[Pre-Chorus]
I eat boys up
Breakfast and lunch
Then when I'm thirsty, I drink their blood
Carnivore, animal, I am a cannibal
I eat boys up
You better run

[Chorus]
I am cannibal (Cannibal, cannibal, I am!)
I am cannibal (Cannibal, I'll eat you up, I am!)
I am cannibal (Cannibal, cannibal, I am!)
I am cannibal (Cannibal, I'll eat you up)

[Verse 2]
Whenever you tell me I'm pretty
That's when the hunger really hits me
Your little heart goes pitter-patter
I want your liver on a platter
Use your finger to stir my tea
And for dessert, I'll suck your teeth
Be too sweet, and you'll be a goner
(Yeah) I'll pull a Jeffrey Dahmer

[Pre-Chorus]
I eat boys up
Breakfast and lunch
Then when I'm thirsty, I drink their blood
Carnivore, animal, I am a cannibal
I eat boys up
You better run

[Chorus]
I am cannibal (Cannibal, cannibal, I am!)
I am cannibal (Cannibal, I'll eat you up, I am!)
I am cannibal (Cannibal, cannibal, I am!)
I am cannibal (Cannibal, I'll eat you up)

[Bridge]
Oh-woah-oh-oh
Oh-woah-oh-oh
Oh-woah-oh-oh
Oh-woah-oh-oh
Oh-woah-oh-oh
Oh-woah-oh-oh
Oh-woah-oh-oh
Oh-woah-oh-oh

[Chorus]
I am cannibal (Cannibal, cannibal, I am!)
I am cannibal (Cannibal, I'll eat you up, I am!)
I am cannibal (Cannibal, cannibal, I am!)
I am cannibal (Cannibal, I'll eat you up)

[Outro]
I love you
I warned you
Rwar!

Kesha

Kesha Rose Sebert, whose mononymous stage name was previously spelled Ke$ha, is an American singer-songwriter best known for hits like “Tik Tok” and “Praying.” Her mother, Pebe Sebert is also a songwriter, and the two have worked together on songs like “Learn to Let Go.”

In 2005, at age eighteen, Kesha signed a record deal with Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records. Her first major recording was an uncredited feature on Flo Rida’s 2009 hit “Right ‘Round,” which she recorded after walking into a session between Flo and Dr. Luke. She released her debut album, Animal, the next year, after choosing from hundreds of songs, and the record debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lead single “Tik Tok” broke the record for the longest time for a female artist’s debut single to top the Billboard Hot 100.

Nine months after Animal dropped, Kesha rereleased it alongside Cannibal, an extended play featuring hits like “We R Who We R,” which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Blow.” In February 2011, Kesha kicked off her Get Sleazy Tour, which travelled through the Americas, Europe, and Australia. During the tour, she began writing for her sophomore album, Warrior, which was released in November 2012. She then embarked on a world tour, and was joined by future “Timber” collaborator Pitbull on the North American leg.
