Deltron 3030 Madness Lyrics

Yo
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

Yo
I must appeal to you people with your faculties
Cause everybody else is gonna laugh at me
People try to get over and take a crack at me
The universe is one I can see what rap can be
Glorious
Put in the Smithsonium my podiums for holy hymns
But you see who's controlling them
f___ myself off cause of the egotistical mode I'm in
No I can't slap you no five
When you and your cutty is talkin s___ about me outside
People take pride in what they have no hand in
Sorta like a phantom holographic handsome
But deep inside he want to do what his man done
Just because his peers jeer and and clown
And when you're six feet 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

I'm caught in the grip of the city, madness (x4)
My rhyming shield deflects your puny rhymes (x2)

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 of positive
When I drop the laws against the nature be faithful
Why should I hate you we ain't that different
We may act different in some ways
But we still group together like a f___in' survey
Sufferin and f___ 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 n____s 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 we're not free
It's not about the separation it's about the population

I'm caught in the grip of the city, madness (x4)
My rhyming shield
Shield shield
Shield shield deflects your puny rhymes
My rhyming shield deflects your puny rhymes

Simple minded people always point the finger
To bring it to a close as if life is their road, they path
When all paths are intersections
It all depends on the persons' perception
When I'm mad as f___ you get shot
And to some, it's bad luck
I believe you held something back for too long
It grew strong
And energy got its' own will
And people think they make music still
But music is there without you or me we just manipulate
For better or worse so let it situate
I get to make records and dough
Paid out the a__hole
And still seen as another face on the totem pole
Conquered, my sponsors are monsters
And everybody thinks that I'm on one
I'm glad I love music and life
cause it's easy to see the pain and strife and end it all tonight

I'm caught in the grip of the city, madness (x4)
