| Here's my philosophy | |
| Livin' in a penitentiary | |
| Brothers all on the corner | |
| Tryin' to make believe | |
| Turn around ain't got no pot to pee | |
| Make me mad when I see ya sad | |
| Can't stand to see ya hustle doin bad | |
| But you can't win when your will is weak | |
| When you're knocked on the ground | |
| Evil, don't you test me | |
| Evil, you won't win | |
| Oh why world | |
| Why world | |
| Do want me to be so mad yeah | |
| So mad yeah | |
| Oh why world | |
| Why world | |
| Do you want me to be so mad yeah | |
| So mad yeah | |
| I'm tellin' you the truth | |
| I hope I'm not being too cruel | |
| Since you ain't playing by the rules | |
| I'm 'bout to kick you off your stool | |
| Evil, don't you test me | |
| Evil, you won't win | |
| Oh why world | |
| Why world | |
| Do want me to be so mad yeah | |
| So mad yeah | |
| Oh why world | |
| Why world | |
| Do you want me to be so mad yeah | |
| Say why | |
| I am a warrior princess | |
| I have come from the other sun | |
| Gather all of your members | |
| Unite them as one | |
| Move together in harmony | |
| Build a bridge | |
| Now destroy a bridge | |
| Eliminate your weakness | |
| Conquer evil, the demon | |
| And live forever together | |
| Oh why can't we get along and | |
| Take all the funky tones | |
| And make up a funky song | |
| That be bangin on and on | |
| Make me mad when I see ya sad | |
| With the same look ya momma had | |
| But ya can't win when your will is weak | |
| But ya get out ya seat | |
| Oh why Why Why world | |
| Do you want me to be so mad | |
| So mad yeah | |
| Why in the world | |
| Why world do you want me to be so mad yeah | |
| So mad yeah | |

| Why world do you want me to be so mad yeah | |
| So mad yeah | |
| Why in the world | |
