Your rating:
Here's my philosophy Livin' in a penitentiary Brothers all on the corner Tryin' to make believe Turn around ain't got no pot to pee Make me mad when I see ya sad Can't stand to see ya hustle doin bad But you can't win when your will is weak When you're knocked on the ground Evil, don't you test me Evil, you won't win Oh why world Why world Do want me to be so mad yeah So mad yeah Oh why world Why world Do you want me to be so mad yeah So mad yeah I'm tellin' you the truth I hope I'm not being too cruel Since you ain't playing by the rules I'm 'bout to kick you off your stool Evil, don't you test me Evil, you won't win Oh why world Why world Do want me to be so mad yeah So mad yeah Oh why world Why world Do you want me to be so mad yeah Say why I am a warrior princess I have come from the other sun Gather all of your members Unite them as one Move together in harmony Build a bridge Now destroy a bridge Eliminate your weakness Conquer evil, the demon And live forever together Oh why can't we get along and Take all the funky tones And make up a funky song That be bangin on and on Make me mad when I see ya sad With the same look ya momma had But ya can't win when your will is weak But ya get out ya seat Oh why Why Why world Do you want me to be so mad So mad yeah Why in the world Why world do you want me to be so mad yeah So mad yeah Why in the world Why world do you want me to be so mad yeah So mad yeah Why in the world Why world do you want me to be so mad yeah So mad yeah Why make me, make me, make me, make me, make me so mad Why yeah, why yeah, why yeah Why yeah...
