(feat. Chuck D)



[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 x2]

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]
