Madness lyrics

* background vocals

[Intro]
Up and down
Didn't I say n*ggas gotta come ready for more?
Father forgive us for we know not what we do
Ain't nuttin' here, ain't nuttin' you gotta say to that
Now what you gonna do about it? What you gonna do
About it man?
{*police sirens*} Bring it any day!

[Verse 1]
This is madness, n*ggas runnin up the block, ducking shots
Cop cars swerving, n*ggas squirting, the ghetto's burnin'
Hell's season, the soul's returnin'
We live like crows and a hermit, searching for a higher learnin'
The fire's burning, lightning bolts coming down
Hittin both coasts, leaving n*ggas comatosed
That's why I wear the chrome close
And we'll all meet the Omen in the moment of most
Runnin in churches with my gun, I'm nervous
Disrupt the service, ask the pastor, "Where do I worship?"
My life is worthless, I done seen too many nights and murders
The enemy stuck a knife in Curtis
I wake up in cold sweat, grab my TEC, I'm hopeless
All my homies pulling on roaches of foul coaches
Or loud explosives, return to the hood like the child Moses
A bast*rd in a basket while gats spit
'Til the palbearers close the casket
And that's it, the end of the chapter
The beginning of the next one
The resurrection, imperfection, after death come
The black son in the ghetto section
The light protect them from the iron weapon
This is madness...
[Chorus]
This is madness, this is madness...

[Verse 2]
Mystic night beneath the cherry moon, we rarely move
Peace to the ghetto nation, three million population
Guns poppin Satan, feel our feather wings
Elohim as we bury kings
Our fathers pumpin garbage in their blood streams
The novel of Apollo, every thug thing
Blood, money and cancer inside a dope fiend
My hungry team selling drugs
Verazine got me feeling buzzed
Ghetto breed felonies, my n*ggas face the judge
The witness tryna place his mug
The D.A. tryin to taste his blood
And the lawyers is the court employers, showing us fake love
The court system is 33 and 1 third of a Mason club
While n*ggas is still beefing and trading the slugs
{*gat firin*}
Who's to blame? I hear cats calling my name
Sayin, "Please, don't fall in this game!"
We're all in a gang
It's like the ghetto, got me trapped with a ball and a chain
To them crack rocks I swallow, absorbed in my vein
Nightmares of being shot, record in my brain
My neck and soul dropped and fall in the flames
Every night I wanna roll a Dutch, scared to sober up
I'm like a bird in the cobra's clutch
I'm like a bird in the cobra's clutch
This is enough...
[Chorus]
This is madness, this is madness...

[Break]
You bought this Proverb baby!

[Verse 3]
Every day I hear violent screams outside my window
I see black hearses followed by limos
On your forehead I see the Devil's symbol
3 6's, do the arithmic of the witches
And Grand Wizard, can you withstand the blizzard?
I see prophecies unfold that was told by the prophets of old
Look up, I saw the clouds in Heaven roll
Back like a gigantic scroll
UFOs came down to damage the globe
Three rolls, saw the lamb with blood on his robe
While the beast shove us in stoves
And the government swallow our souls
I'm getting drunk of a wild Irish rose
My brain's haunted, roll with much pain and torment
A fire like Elijah that came with the warnin'
Bodies bein carried at the sound of the organ
Saw the skeleton, the rider of the Four Horsemen
Pull out my di*k, chop off my foreskin
Take the blood and write down my four sins
On the side of Satan's coffin, I see angel's corpses
I start to gettin nautious from demonic forces
{*gats firing & siren sounds*}

[Chorus to fade w/ Ty-N]

[Outro]
Sells these drugs to Apocalypse
