Madness from Deltron 3030 by Del The Funky Homosapien

In the year three thousand and thirty everybody wants to be an MC
In the year three thousand and thirty everybody want to be a DJ
In the year three thousand and thirty everybody want to be a producer
In the year three thousand and thirty everybody want to tell ya the meaning of the music

I must appeal to you people with your faculties / Cuz everybody else is gonna laugh at me / People try to get over and take a crack at me / The universe is one and I can see what rap can be glorious / Put in the Smithsonian my podiums for holy hymns / But you see who’s controlling them / Fuck myself off cuz of the egotistical mode I'm in / No I can't slap you no five / When you and your cutty is talkin shit about me outside / People take pride in what they have no hand in / Sorta like a phantom holographic handsome / But deep inside he wants to do what his man done / Just because his peers jeer and and clown / When your six foot deep no one hears you now / They say we’re not compatible like deers and cows and owls / So many rules and regulations say you're not allowed

Chorus (Repeat 4x)

I'm caught in the grip of the city... Madness

If I had to describe the way I survive its like vice squeezin / The reason I'm black and still breathin / Heathens will breed heathens so / Everybody's suspect I must check your ID / Cuz you lookin sheisty you might be intelligence / Someone that Del's against / Opposite or positive / When I drop the law against nature be faithful / Why should I hate you we ain't that different / We may act different in some ways / But we still grouped together like a fuckin survey / Sufferin and fuck em all's the motto / I'm trapped in a bottle / My music's gettin hollow / That's what happens when humanity you follow / Where every leak or info is hard to swallow / Sell your Marlboros and car insurance / Put niggas on the moon and can't pay for your burdens / I smoke herb and rock a turban / Meditate on the world and whats occurrin / A lot of white boys like the style and copy / Dig in something deeper and you’ll peep that were not free / It's not about the separation, its about the population

Chorus (Repeat 4x)

I'm caught in the grip of the city... Madness

Simple minded people always point the finger / To bring it to a close as if life is their role, their path / When all paths are intersections / It all depends on the persons perception / When I'm mad as fuck you get shot / And to some it's bad luck / I believe you held something back for too long / It grew strong / And energy has its own will / And people think they make music still / But music is there with out you or me we just manipulate / For better or worse so let it situate / I get to make records and dough / Paid out the ass hole / And still seen as another face on the totem pole / Conquer, my sponsors are monsters / And everybody thinks that I owe them one / I'm glad I love music and life / Cuz it's easy to see the pain and strife and end it all tonight

Chorus (Repeat 4x)
