Michael Franti And Spearhead - Madness In The Hood lyrics
Ooh Ohh take a chance on a free ride 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)
