World Gone Mad Lyrics


VERSE 1:
How some bwoy a talk so
Like a dem one get di power
When pum-pum dem a devoura
Eat di girl like dem a flour
Sex di girl dem the hour
Mek dem bawl fi all dem modda
Cool mek mi line up mi girl
Get dem togedda
How some a go dis me
When mi talk mi nah go rhyme
A tru mi job mi just a fin'
A mi de gal dem wan' fi wine
'cause di DJ nuh haffi wine
Caw dem caan come touch mi style
Caw di DJ nah go talk like nuh Calvin Kkien
how dem a go try fi dis mi
When dem know we fin new gear

Cause a we one rule di year
The gal dem fling han' inna di air
Di gal dem treat we wid care
Cause dem know sey wicked man an' rastaman winah go fear
But.....
Chorus
Has di worl' gone mad
(somebody tell mi nuh)
Has di worl' gone mad
(go ask di president)
Has di worl' gone mad
(a dat mi wan' fi know)
Has di worl' gone, is di worl' gone
Has di worl' gone mad
(somebody tell mi nuh)
Has di worl' gone mad
(go ask di president)
Has di worl' gone mad
(a dat mi wan' fi know)
Has di worl' gone, is di worl' gone
Verse 2:
Rastaman nuh mix up inna bobylan business
Because dem know we work so hard
Cause a nuff song we go sing
Because the way wi choose we life
An' now di way we a go live
Dem nuh like we cause we tink positive
Anyhow........
Nuff a dem a keep up everyday inna di killing
Inna one bag a looting
Dem join up inna one bag a shooting
When policeman haffi ketch him
When dem ketch him dem go shot him
Yu hear him mumma deh bawl
"What a innocent ting!"
Everyday u get up anyting u hol'
Yu run go sell it
Whole heap a money wha u mek it
Yu fi careful how yu spend
Yu haffi spen' it wisely
An' nuh mek policeman touch it
Else u a go get deport
An' yute u a go leave it
Chorus
Well de prisona dem down a GP
Well a fi dem palm fi grease
Because a footballa an' musician
A we a run di peace
Some likkle rasta bwoy
Outa nort an' outa eas'
A nuff a dem a wolf unda clothes a nyam meat
How dem a try fi dis me
When dem know a we got di heat
A we one got di pattern di fashion
We got di beat
An' di music it a play ya now
An' di music it so sweet
Unno cool mek wi rock to di bad reggae beat
How dem a try fi dis me
When a we one set di history
A nuh we one write di story
A nuh we one get di glory
When wi happy fi Bob marley
Set di pace so we can tek it
Well easy all di artiste inna di country an' sing

Anthony Moses Davis (born August 22, 1973 in Kingston, Jamaica), better known by the stage name Beenie Man, is a well established reggae artist and DJ. He was involved in the music industry from a young age when he won the Tastee Talent contest in 1981. Only one year later, when he was eight years old, he recorded a single, "Too Fancy", with record producer "Junjo" Lawes. By 1983, Beenie Man was recording with heavyweight DJs, such as Dillinger and Fathead and released his debut album, The Invincible Beenie Man: The Ten Year Old DJ Wonder and the single "Over the Sea".

He was booed off stage at a show celebrating the visit of Nelson Mandela. In 1993 at the very popular show Sting he accused fellow deejay Bounty Killer that the elder artist had stolen his catchphrase, "people dead". This triggered a lyrical battle which continued on the air with each artist counteracting the other's songs. Finally, in 1995, Beenie Man and Bounty Killer settled their differences on the air by actually signing a peace treaty and the two recorded an album together, Guns Out. This was followed by a single, "No Mama No Cry", a rehash of the Bob Marley classic "No Woman No Cry", speaking out against violence and inspired by the murder of Pan Head, another popular Deejay.

Partially as a result of prodding from his producers, Sly and Robbie, Beenie Man soon converted to the Rastafari movement.

In 1994, he was signed by Island Records and released the critically acclaimed album Blessed.

In 1995, Beenie Man released a remix of Barrington Levy's "Under Mi Sensi" in the United Kingdom, and collaborated with Dennis Brown and Triston Palma to release Three Against War and Lt. Stitchie on Mad Cobra Meets Lt. Stitchie & Beenie Man. He took another step up the ladder in 1996, releasing the seminal Maestro, produced by Patrick Roberts and shot him to UK fame. During the period from the mid to late '90s, Beenie Man dominated the Jamaican charts to the extent that he perhaps had a good claim to the crown of "Dancehall King", a title only bestowed previously on Yellowman in the early 1980s.

In 1998, Beenie Man signed to Virgin Records to release albums in the United States. His first American offering was The Doctor (1998). In 2000, Beenie Man teamed up with Arturo Sandoval and Wyclef Jean (The Fugees) to release The Art & Life. During the late 1990s, Beenie Man began his conquest of America with the hits, "Romie", "Who Am I" and "Girls Dem Sugar", which featured American R&B singer, Mya.

In 2002, he had a sizeable hit with a duet with Janet Jackson called "Feel It Boy", but his biggest break in America came in early 2004 with the release of a remix of "Dude", featuring guest vocals by fellow Jamaican Ms. Thing, as well as rhymes by Shawnna.
