[Verse 1: Chuck D]
Confrontation town front
I can`t front! No, I can`t believe this funk
Got a blacklash as long as some happy ass
Clown, frown, Uh I get down
In the trenches underneath the underground
Under a blanket of hell you never heard rejected the sound
Wrap your troubles in dreams baby in search of a theme
I can`t believe I`m triple teamed
I voted! Hope my ass wasn`t railroaded
Ran for the border to avoid the slaughter
Shit! I blamed that tape recorder cause you mad outta order
Beyond categories, another East side story Uh
That`s three thousand miles ago
Cause cats are shook by past crooks
Doin street hooks too many freestyles yo be off the books
Be the judge make sure that needle don`t budge don`t prejudge
Your frustration anger at the association
What difference it makin got the whole world
Hatin art of war vocals influence the locals
[Chorus 2x]
It`s a mad mad world we`ve been living everyday
What you gone to say all man say I`m a fuck up
Living don`t throw it away
It`s a mad mad world we`ve been living everyday
What you goin to do all man say I`m a fuck up
Living don`t throw it away
Claver est operes a mixer
Le New Jacks sont dans
Les MC`s sont pres auteur en toute Liberte
It`s a mad mad world we`ve been living everyday
(Translation)
We are ready to get in the mix
The new generation are in the place to be
MC`s are ready to express themselves freely
[Verse 2: Vanilla Ice]
Now I feel trapped in this everyday form of life
Who`s wrong or right who knows I still fight
To survive live from the land of confusion
Man`s abusing which religion are you choosing
Substance abusing losing touch with reality
Have you forgot about your family values
Can`t you understand the plan
World destruction push the button end of discussion
Boom
What`cha gonna do now
It`s like the sound of a Mosberg pump goin Boo Yow
What a mad world
We got cops on the take
Females being raped
Bodies floatin in the lake
Why? Over hate
Better check your faith cause it`ll be gone before you wake
Chorus
