Michael Franti & Spearhead - Madness In Tha Hood (Free Ride) lyrics

rate me

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)
