Bad News Lyrics

Chorus : Bad News travels fast / and if it's about you you'll probably hear

'bout it last / but when they press up / and check up / and they ask / you

gotta keep perspective on the future and the past / and laugh / while they

keep talkin' / talk talk talkin / chicken heads keep squawkin' / power

of the spoken word is infinite / you can tell / cuz people are always

talking / talking on the run talking while walking, / talking in line,

talking in circles, / talking in time all over the world / talkin' 'bout

whatever's on their mind- that's fine / talkin' 'bout who they hawkin, who

they watchin, who they clockin, / who they heard was up to something

poppin' / always talkin' about who they remember and who's forgotten /

who's rockin' the set and who's floppin', droppin' out / talkin' 'bout

people from the cradle to the coffin / talkin' 'bout people, talkin' 'bout

people, talkin' 'bout people, / talkin' 'bout people non-stop talkin' often

/Chorus /People talk shit / their minds reinforce it / spittin' out words

and thoughts that are amorphous / pushin' sloppy sound out of their vocal

orifice / like it ain't bein' recorded / sometimes a words scorch is worse

than torches / whats more / is the talk aint uniform or rehearsed / it's

the richest, the poorest,/ from CEO boardrooms to porches to alley ways and Lateef and Lyrics Born - Bad News - http://motolyrics.com/lateef-and-lyrics-born/bad-news-lyrics.html

gutters / from coast to coast, east to west, south to north / it's people

talking of course! / like life is a courtroom / most bullshittin' from

midnight to high noon and back again / Blacks and the Blacker thans /

Whites and the Africans / far to little action far to much satisfaction /

in philanderin' usin' sex like a sedative / repetitive like rhetoric / I'm

bettin' ya think ya nice cuz you give free add-vice right? / but unless you

got a tight alternative it's best to let it just live! / and raise the

octave up to the positive / even though they try and stop you up / arteries

cloggeded / the Black man targeted that's how they set it off, they said it

/ but in the end it will be only them that's effected by they negative vibe

/ I know it hurts, there is no indigestion worse /than that which comes

from having to eat your own word(s), / I heard two(2) people need not

bicker in a burning home / but some people know how to live everybodies

life but their own so, / here's the poem dedicated / to the hatred

propagated by the ill-fated / snakes that's waitin' in grass / those that

talk the most got the least to say / but that ain't nothin' new / and it

ain't even really all that
