[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: Rahan] 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 gone to say all man say I'm a fuck up Living don't throw it away Claving 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 (Transalation) 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 life 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
