Lyrics:

[Intro: Zuby]

Yo, do you ever get that feeling where you just…

Look at the world and you’re just like, “what the heck is wrong with this place man?

Why do I live here? Who put me here?”

It’s a mad world. But we’ve all got to live in it

Bad Man, G.E., Terra Slim.

[Verse 1: Terra Slim]

Many enter the poison dispenser

Slags flood town centres

Alcohol-fuelled misadventures, I tried to get hench, but

Mashed up my back trying to bench (press)

Pro fitness, reversed years of excess

Restless living through a testament of death threats

Ignorance programmed in my DNA configurement

They’ll never tolerate my entrance

Abomination but I’m just an act of nature

Like pollination, you can’t block my repentance

The well runs dry till the water’s replenished

Walk in the court for a sentence

They’ll honey-glaze your corpse to take away the bitter edge

When I was one I tried to dash myself off the window ledge

Divine plan means lifespan extents

It’s progress or death, my whole life a protest.

[Hook: Zuby]

It’s a mad world, nobody makes it out alive

And no one truly knows what’s gonna happen when you die

It’s a mad world, so keep the happiness alive

But you know the same things can make you happy make you cry

It’s a mad world, I’m only in it for a visit

So while I’m sitting here I’m gonna push it to the limit

It’s a mad world, we’re only living cuz we’re in it

It’s a mad world, just a mad world.

[Verse 2: Genesis Elijah]

Be in this world but not of it

Once your truth’s rock solid you can’t be knocked off it

What’s the difference between a heretic and god’s prophet?

They say “talk is cheap” yeah but faith costs nothing

What’s your life worth? Are you making the very best of stuff?

Next question, what’s your life worth to the rest of us?

If we were in a burning building and I saw your legs were crushed

Should I risk mine and carry you out to the exit bruv?

In the UK most of us get enough

Even those below the poverty line are better off

In Egypt, Syria, Ukraine – it’s kicking off

Seeing your kids die, that will really find your sense of loss

If God made man, why did man make weapons?

And why did I see my first one at age eleven?

Sometimes it seems some of us would rather have someone share our hell

Than show us the way to heaven, it’s a mad world.

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Zuby]

I’m an average individual, some people call me spiritual

See it in my retina and spill it in my lyrical

My memories are visual kaleidoscopes

Can’t scrutinise a miracle through microscopes

Remember as a little kid screaming “life’s not fair!”

Got older and I realised, life’s not fair

Cuz if you’re feeling pleasure, there’s another feeling pain

And every single loss is for another person’s gain

Though we come in different colours we’re essentially the same

From the darkest hued brother to the fairest little dame

Critique when people speak of a superior race

How can you reach when all you preach is from inferior place?

To a baby every race is the reflection of the Son (Sun)

So call it what you want, there’s no race except the one

And respect every human, try not to kill each other

Cuz that could be your friend, sister, brother.

[Hook x 2]
