[Intro]
(Yeah)
Teeth out
Blood on the lace-ups
Who let the—
(Who let the mad dogs out?)
[Verse 1]
I was raised where the lockjaw mean it
Chain-link fence and the cops still leanin'
Bruise on my fist from the last boy screamin'
Pray in the dark but the wolves still feenin'
Mud on my jeans
Rust on the gate
I don't trust sleep
I don't trust fate
You ain't seen rage
You just seen hate
I been tryna chill
But the leash too late (rah)
[Chorus]
Mad dogs
Foamin' at the mouth in the backyard
Breakin' through the fence, we don't act hard
We just are what we are, what we are (yeah)
Mad dogs
Eyes all red when the lights off
Growl so deep make the sky cough
You don't want war with the mad dogs
Mad dogs
[Verse 2]
Tongue got scars from the words I bit
Heart got holes from the ones that split
Hands got cold when the cash got thick
I don't bark back, I just walk in, sick
Whole crew rowdy
Whole crew vicious
Whole hood say we the wrong ones to witness
You post threats
We post bail
You post pics
We post shells
Don't play, boy, this a lost cause
Whole block run by the outlaws
You came lookin' for applause
Met paws
[Chorus]
Mad dogs
Foamin' at the mouth in the backyard
Breakin' through the fence, we don't act hard
We just are what we are, what we are (yeah)
Mad dogs
Eyes all red when the lights off
Growl so deep make the sky cough
You don't want war with the mad dogs
Mad dogs (rah)
