Travis Thompson – Mad Mad World lyrics

[Intro]
Said the world mad, what you finna do about it, kid?
There's nothing on this paper say you too [?]
Claim you broken, so you smoking like we did [?]
Always bitching 'bout some skeletons when your were [?]
We'll riot no more, yeah
We'll riot, yeah we tired
We'll riot no more
So, don't try it
No more lying
I can't be reliant no more, and I'm trying
Yeah, I'm trying, but I can't deny it no more
Yeah, I'm dying, but I'm trying, yeah

[Verse]
I was ten in my five-elevens, bumming every appearance
Back when I worked in repack and no one took my shit serious
'Sides a couple I knew, I'm fresh up outta high school
With the whole world ahead of me, what the fuck did I choose?
To chase a fleet and higher peace of mind
Now it's way too steep to climb
How I'm so aware, but friends is gone and we ain't see no signs
So tell me what's a decent price
I'll empty my checking to keep from falling where we each align
Caught up in the heat of my--
Own interpretation of who I'm 'posed to be
I miss the man who came before me and the one's who close to me
You can face the road ahead, dip your toes, and make believe
You can take the blue or red or flip 'em both and make it three
I got a grip, but homie's tryna make it work with who they with
Early twenties, hate they life, but staying for the kid
And you know shawty couldn't [?]
Out a ring it's perfect with
Courthouse documents, deep-down, she always wanted churches
She don't want more bodies and life changes make him nervous
Shoulda been, call that shit quits, forever question: was it worth it?
And the child won't know love until he learn that he deserve it, but
By the time they learn, they'll start to see beyond the surface
My niece's don't recognize me, Uncle Travis been wiling
Blisters up on my feet and Manhattan blocks go for miles
And I'm tryna figure the meaning, I really feel like I'm owed it
Drinking and getting weeded to muff a lot of commotion
When I make it out this hole I dug, imma give my soul a scrub
Look up when I wash my hands, I know I'm not the only one
Relay sprint from reflections, and I'm feeling like they owe me some
Convos with my brothers 'bout they habits like I'm mostly done

[Chorus]
This whole world is mad and I know it, yeah
The world is mad and I know it, yeah
The world is mad and I know it, yeah
I wish that I could control it, yeah

[Outro]
Da, da, da, da, heh
Can I hear that?
