Mad City
(Verse 1)
Good kid, mad city, good kid, mad city, mad, mad, mad, mad city, mad mad, mad city, mad, mad city, mad, mad city, mad...
Uh, through my mind, I could see in the time and space
I never understood the misery the devil gave
Through my eyes, The eerie of the streets, maad city where we drive by, thug n***a, westside
Teams ride, you see my homie killed in a drive-by
I couldn't witness the homicide, too many blood waterfalls
And the ignorance these constables love to cause
Welcome by to the maad city, affiliation tattoos on our belly's
The jungle lifestyle It's a war zone with revenge livin' in my soul
The country never handed us peace, so we had to build a community upon the streets
Until maad city broke silence representing our anthem as police sirens
This is the life we lead as the world turns
You think I'm happy here as my burns n***a

(Hook/Outro)
One time for my n***as on lockdown
One time for my n***as in hellbound
One time for my n***as on lockdown
One time for my n***as in hellbound
One time for my n***as on lockdown
One time for my n***as in hellbound
One time for my n***as on lockdown
One time for my n***as in hellbound
