mad dog been through too much bullshit
to hesitate to spit
on a beat that's intricate
marathon style
i'ma keeo on spittin it
throw me a curve
mad dog is hittin it
knock a rhyme out the park
till it penetrates the ozone layer
this is not a game
you are not a player
put down the mic
do me a favor
let someone
pick it up who has flavor
rhyming sniper with the laser
cut with the razor
mad dog burns like vodka without the chaser
mad dogs writes rhymes without a eraser
born in brooklyn that's where i'm from
so call me daddy i'll call you son
call me intelligent call you dumb
call me an inigma paradox conundrum
call me that nigga drinkin that rum
im drinkin whiskey and i'm not having fun
drinkin vodka and grippin my gun
making evil faces makin them run
i grew up in place
where nothing was free
nothign was nice
nobody smiled at me
now people wonder why they get felonies
when they were making minimum wage
and they were making g's
so called justice
who wrote the law book
who is the honest man
who is the crook
in the middle night
reading about relativity
trying to convince fools
of law positivity
people don't see themselves
in the mirror of infinity
disobeying allah islam
the holy trinity
another institution
trying to get rid of me
cause i don't fit the institution
between this institution isn't fitting me
an act of violence
cause I felt demonized
they prescribed antidepressants
and i was institutionalized
people reading the story
in the new york times
trying to understand life
through a criminal's eyes
born in brooklyn
was taught jookin
central booking
where i was took in

Look around in my neighborhood...(aqui en el barrio...tu sabes)

[Joell Ortiz talking]
Look around in my neighborhood...(aqui en el barrio...tu sabes)
See how we live...
See right there on that corner that's where they sell the drugs... (la manteca broder)
Run numbers...play dominoes...whistle at the fly ladies
You know, I'm Latino...hahahahaha (pa' que sepa!)
[Joell Ortiz]
The dope gets sold by the bodega
While you call it dope, we call it the manteca
We don't look for lotto numbers in the newspaper
We play it right over the counter by the Now & Laters
Sit down on milk crates and play dominoes
Capicu! Slam it down, tell 'em adios
Another round of beers before we go upstairs
And watch a fuzzy TV on some of the oldest chairs
Relax, take a bath and get nice and clean
Come out just in time for dinner, you know rice and beans
A little chicken, maybe tostones, it's up to Ma
She might be tired keeping this house all up to par
Sometimes I look out the window and see some nice wheels
I got a thing for rims they give me slight chills
Round here you get killed over an ice-grill
Guns pop but the OG's they carry knives still
{Chorus - Joell Ortiz & Woman singing}
(Latinooo)
I'm Latin, I'm proud, if you don't know us let me tell you about...
(Latinooooooos LaLaLaLaLaLaLaaa)
We got beautiful women, and they all seem to know their way around the kitchen
(Latinooos)
Yeah we stick together, We had hard lives so our skin is thick forever
(Latinooooooo LaLaLaLaLaLaLaaa)
I'm Latin, I'm proud, if you don't know us let me tell you about...
[Joell Ortiz]
See every block got a different crew
This kid I knew got paralyzed cuz of his tattoo
And he wasn't in a gang
Just some young punk tryina come up and get a name
Put a bullet in his brain, it's a shame
But yo, on a better note
Latina women look so good from head to toe
Get 'em and never let 'em go
Baseball is big in my town
So is boxing, a hundred he don't see the ninth round
These young girls is fresh they like to get piped down
Babies having babies, guess who on the WIC line now?
Guess who on welfare? Guess who on medicaid?
Guess who left they kid with their girl for eleven days
Without callin...cuz he's ballin
One year from now he'll have a child support warrant
It happen all the time in my community
That's the difference between someone like you and me, I'm...
{Chorus}
[Joell Ortiz]
Big Chino got a truck and a bike and a boat
But Chino got a gun cuz his life full of coke
And Chino havin' fun he don't like being broke
But Chino gone' be done, FBI is no joke
And I don't want Chi to get knocked
When the truck around he buy ice cream for the block
See where I'm from the kids look up to the hustlers
Even if they're family with some of the customers
My abuela used to tell me to stay off the corner
You heard what happened with Mrs. Rivera's daughter?
See she had got caught in the crossfire right there in broad day
Shot her in the back trying run in the hallway
By my building all you hear is, "Oye
Ten cuidado la policia esta en la esquina de Broadway"
There's action all the time in my neighborhood
But see we all mind our business like a neighbor should
[Joell Ortiz talking]
See this one right here is for all my Latinos around the world
Around the world man there's so many of us man
Be proud of who you are man
I love ya'll niggas! Joell Ortiz!
{Chorus}

dirty ass skeezas
see me bringing pizza
back into the domicile
these bitches ask me for
dirty ass skeezas
see me bringing pizza
back into the domicile
these bitches ask me for a slice
it's gonna get hostile
chop you up in eight pieces
like the italian chopped' the pizza
cause you tryin to get cocky
talkin about can i get some of that pizza you're coppin
just to get a pizza with all the toppings
on my jock you're hopping
nah none of that mad dog got this pizza
with the money from his rap contracts step back
fell down on my knees
prayin to jesus
cause i'm one of the believers
not one of the heathens
please take care of my people
keep them away from the grim reapers
hope they all get good work visas
so they can travel where they please
and make the g's
so they can afford fine bm weavers
driving down the autobahn
switching manual gears
with the bmw levers
prayin for my people
cause i'm my brothers keeper
hope they good whips
applying for work visas
so i can move to canada
and make high quality organic cheese
and once i have the visa
i can make the cheese
when i sell the cheese
i can make the g's
and when i make the g's
i can bag the skeeza
with the hair weaves
and no hair on their beavers
thats my main plan for baggin the skeezers
if you think you got a better plan i don't believe you
shout out to all the drug dealers
seperating the cheebas with the platinum tweezas
cruising around the neighborhood in the big jeepas
checkin the numbers on the beepers
making deliveries to folk who like to smoke reefer
who ask the dealer if they can get a dime bag a little bit cheaper
such is the life of the neighborhood dealer
going to war with the police-a
cause the mayor of my town passed a prohibition of pizza
mad dog is having none of that
free the mozzeralla by shooting his big gat
running downtown like buck buck buck
liberate the pizza with the crispy crust
im not gonna ask you twice whos the big boss
get mistaken watch the streets run red with tomato sauce
haters gonna take a loss for poppin off
watch the children celebrate dancin like brashnikov
every day is pizza day
music by marvin gaye
old pizza man with the toupee
eatin mad pizza is the mad dog way
no son you didn't just say i couldn't eat pizza on this stoop
cause i got a paper plate and a tec-9 to boot
