Ooh Ohh take a chance on a free ride free ride
 Ooh Ohh take a chance on a free ride
 Ooh Ohh take a chance on a free ride free ride

 Madness in tha hood keeps trying to kill the vibes
 even gam's preacher packs a 45
 run get the chalice and posse up the tribe
 and with the love of Rastafari we shall never die

 Wake up in the morn unlock the store pops
 hookers on Leavenworth closin' up shops
 cops, lookin' like a blind Cyclops 'cause
 they clockin' ten percent
 of the CREAM off the top
 got mad money comin' down the pipe
 from the three piece suit who gotta piece last night
 the butcher the backer phony credit card maker
 plus the operation being sponsored by Jamaica
 and then there's the dimea dozen hoodie hitmen
 who be killin' for sport, they go kids to support
 Slingin' dice come cross the snake eyes
 come and take a chance on a free ride

 (Chorus)
 Badi ah-dee adi ah
 come and take a chance on a free ride
 Badi ah-dee adi ah
 come and take a chance on a free ride
 Ooh Ohh take a chance on a free ride
 (Madness in tha hood keeps tryin' a kill the vibes)
 Ooh Ohh take a chance on a free ride
 (And with the love of Rastafari we shall never die)

 Like Gregory Hines I return to the dance, (dancin'?)
 broadcast vast audio radiance, enhance
 wave hands, shake pants as I commence
 DJ wheel up drop bass then advance
 I get reactions just like Johnny Cochran
 when he compared Mark Fuhrman to that old German
 listen Herman Munster was a gangsta
 S.F.P.D. shield on his clothes gave up the answer
 to the crack freak just released from the jail
 twenty in his pocket waitin' to inhale
 takes deep breath from the piss stinkin' air
 past the drag queen wearin' other people's hair
 she snaps, "What you think you lookin' at here you look
 like Jimmy Walker wearin' Biggy Small's gear
 Get the fuck away before I make you disappear
 I don't play that freaky shit do I make myself clear."

 (Chorus)
 Badi ah-dee adi ah
 come and take a chance on a free ride
 Badi ah-dee adi ah
 come and take a chance on a free ride
 Ooh Ohh take a chance on a free ride
 (Madness in tha hood keeps tryin' a kill the vibes)
 Ooh Ohh take a chance on a free ride
 (And with the love of Rastafari we shall never die
