Bad News - Latyrx[00:00:00]
Bad News travels fast[00:00:01]
And if it's about you you'll probably hear 'bout it last[00:00:03]
But when they press up[00:00:06]
And check up[00:00:07]
And they ask[00:00:08]
You gotta keep perspective on the future and the past[00:00:09]
And laugh[00:00:11]
Bad News travels fast[00:00:12]
And if it's about you you'll probably hear 'bout it last[00:00:15]
But when they press up[00:00:18]
And check up[00:00:19]
And they ask[00:00:19]
You gotta keep perspective on the future and the past[00:00:21]
And laugh[00:00:23]
While they keep talking[00:00:24]
Talk talk talking[00:00:25]
Chicken heads keep squawking[00:00:26]
Power of the spoken word is infinite[00:00:27]
You can tell[00:00:29]
Cause people are always talking[00:00:30]
Talking on the run talking while walking[00:00:31]
Talking in line talking in circles[00:00:34]
Talking in time all over the world[00:00:36]
Talking bout whatever's on their mind that's fine[00:00:38]
Talking bout who they hawking[00:00:40]
Who they watching[00:00:41]
Who they clocking[00:00:42]
Who they heard was up to something popping[00:00:43]
Always talking about who they remember and who's forgotten[00:00:44]
Who's rocking the set and who's flopping dropping out[00:00:48]
Talking bout people from the cradle to the coffing[00:00:50]
Talking bout people talking bout people talking bout people[00:00:52]
Talking bout people non stop talking often[00:00:55]
Bad News travels fast[00:00:59]
And if it's about you you'll probably hear bout it last[00:01:01]
But when they press up[00:01:03]
And check up[00:01:05]
And they ask[00:01:05]
You gotta keep perspective on the future and the past[00:01:06]
And laugh[00:01:09]
People talk shit[00:01:10]
Their minds reinforce it[00:01:10]
Spitting out words and thoughts that are amorphous[00:01:12]
Pushing sloppy sound out of their vocal orifice[00:01:15]
Like it ain't being recorded[00:01:18]
Sometimes a words scorch is worse than torches[00:01:19]
What's more[00:01:22]
Is the talk ain't uniform or rehearsed[00:01:23]
It's the richest the poorest[00:01:24]
From CEO boardrooms to porches to alley ways and gutters[00:01:26]
From coast to coast east to west south to north[00:01:30]
It's people talking of course[00:01:33]
Like life is a courtroom[00:01:34]
Most bullshitting from midnight to high noon and back again[00:01:36]
Blacks and the Blacker thans[00:01:39]
Whites and the Africans[00:01:41]
Far to little action far to much satisfaction[00:01:42]
In philandering using sex like a sedative[00:01:45]
Repetitive like rhetoric[00:01:48]
I'm betting ya think ya nice cause[00:01:49]
You give free add vice right[00:01:51]
But unless you got a tight alternative[00:01:53]
It's best to let it just live[00:01:55]
And raise the octave up to the positive[00:01:56]
Even though they try and stop you up[00:01:58]
Arteries cloggeded[00:02:00]
The Black man targeted[00:02:01]
That's how they set it off they said it[00:02:03]
But in the end it will be only[00:02:05]
Them that's effected by they negative vibe[00:02:06]
I know it hurts there is no indigestion worse[00:02:08]
Than that which comes from having to eat[00:02:11]
Your own words[00:02:12]
I heard two people need not bicker[00:02:12]
In a burning home[00:02:14]
But some people know how to live[00:02:15]
Everybodies life but their own so[00:02:17]
Here's the poem dedicated[00:02:19]
To the hatred propagated by the ill fated[00:02:20]
Snakes that's waiting in grass[00:02:22]
Those that talk the most got the least to say[00:02:25]
But that ain't nothing new[00:02:27]
And it ain't even really all that[00:02:28]
