[Intro: Mack Wilds]
Yo! You ready?

[Verse 1: Mack Wilds]
So we ball and pop champagne and waste it
See I've never been a drinker but a nigga tastin'
But I'm fine, fly guy dressed to take shit
And these ladies wanna be taken
In my mind, all I see is dollars and lace when
This bad chick just started waving
The crowd parted as I make my way, and
I said, "hey little mama, come live for a day"

[Bridge: Mack Wilds]
She said: "Excuse me cutie, I'm in love with your ways
The more you come around the more I want just a day
The way you looking got me wanting to play
Where are you from? So tell me, where do you stay?"

[Hook: Method Man (Mack Wilds]
(In the land of the wild things)
You see them killas from the slum
If they feelin' froggy, sleep, we kill em from the jump
Its a... (wild thing)
You see the shotty with the pump
The black Maserati with the body in the trunk
(In the land of the wild things)
Your blessings, better count that twice
Come on little money, you ain't bout that life
Its a... (its a wild thing)
You know we gotta style on em, right?
My wolves and a full moon, we wild for the night!

[Verse 2: Mack Wilds]
Come along, I'll tell you a story of greatness
A young nigga born, being sacred
From the town where when niggas were frowned on and hating
By the clown and pussy niggas scared to say shit
All the while, the kid sat around and waited
Writing rhymes, singing every cadence
A couple niggas thought he never make it
I guess them hating ass niggas never knew what fate is
[Bridge + Hook]

[Verse 3: Mack Wilds]
I come from the crime side, the New York Times side
S.I., Til I D.I.E, I grew up hearing that Wu knock
Watchin' them guns cock back
Jet black, you feel like Hercules
Hercules, hercules; Get a hand clap
Damn that, Nevy got me covered like Saran Wrap
My whole hood jumping now, guess I did that
While these ladies wanna covet on my ballsack
Lightskin brother, smooth like butter
Coming from the city where most blocks were Summer
In the hood, we believed there was no need for change
Cause we believed that change ain't got shit on C.R.E.A.M
But I came to bring the pain, hardcore from the brain
With a 1 1/2 against the grain
Pop's shop popping only means one thing
Shoalin's back again!

[Hook]

[Outro: Method Man]
Welcome to Staten fuckin' Island, scrappy
This the bottom, the dirt, ratchet shit
Ain't nothing but goons out here, fuckboy
Now is you a wolf, or is you a sheep?
I got your Ghetto Metrocard right here nigga, if you wanna ride
Stapleton, the Wild West, Homicide Houses
New Brighton, Arlington, The Harbor
You know who you fuckin' with?

Mack Wilds

Tristan Paul Mack Wilds is best known for his acting roles as Michael Lee and Dixon Wilson on HBO’s “The Wire” and CW’s “90210” respectively, but before he hit Hollywood, Wilds dreamed of a career in music. “I don’t remember a time in my life when music wasn’t a factor in my life,” the Staten Island product says. “I was immersed in what music was in the ’90s. Everything we heard in hip-hop, I could look outside of my window in the projects and see it going on.”

Growing up, Mack saw his father sing in local bands. He looked to follow in his dad’s footsteps by practicing around their home in Stapleton housing projects, the same housing projects that produced numerous members of Wu-Tang Clan. Wilds’ earliest music influences were Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, but he also took to hip-hop idolizing MCs like Jay-Z and Nas.

At around the age of 13, after puberty hit, Mack noticed his voice began to change and he then added rapping to his repertoire. “The music has always been my first love,” he says, even though his teenage years were spent acting on television and in films like 2008’s “The Secret Life of Bees” with Queen Latifah and Dakota Fanning and in 2012’s “Red Tails” alongside Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Terrence Howard.
