This Is Why We Ride Body Count

[Intro]
People always wanna know the reason for what they consider senseless violence in the hood. I'ma break it down for you. This is why we ride

And this is why we ride
And this is why we ride

[Verse 1]
I gotta say this clear, I gotta say this loud
I should've been dead, don't know how I'm here now
I should've been dead, damn it forty years ago
How the fuck did I survive? Something that I'll never know
I played the crack game, gang bang, guns
Motherfuckers told me I'd never see twenty one
I come from LA, deep in the heart of the hood
Every night the bullets fly, this shit ain't Hollywood
Could be your best friend, mother or brother dead
Cops can't do shit, these streets are blood red
So we leave the block and we load the guns
And we want revenge, until revenge comes

And this is why we ride

[Chorus]
[Riff, sirens and gunshots]
And this is why we ride
[Riff]
