The intro the Two-9’s monthly EP, September Two-9, Brotha and Jace use this Sonny Digital beat to give perspective on police brutality and its effects in post-Ferguson society.

[Hook]
It ain't nothing on the news but the blues
Sorry mama, but your baby got the blues
Hit the block and he got nothing but the tool
Gotta fix shit, I'ma fix shit
It ain't nothing on the news but the blues
Sorry mama, but your baby got the blues
Hit the block and he got nothing but the tool
I'ma fix shit, watch me fix shit
[Verse 1: FatKidsBrotha]
Fucked up politicians, cops with all that killing
Banging on the youngins, think they dying just from living
College tuition more expensive than a prison
Get paid more in jail, but they think my youngins trippin'
I'ma go to war just to get some more
My little brother sell it, he don't trust the law
Get less time for a shooting than for selling hard
But how my nigga gone feed his baby boy? It's all bad
All bad, get high and then it's combat
Who want that? Aw yeah
It's fucked up like prison systems
Fuck the system, I'm gone pimp it
If I'm broke, Bob the Builder
With the tool, I'm gone fix it
[Hook]
It ain't nothing on the news but the blues
Sorry mama, but your baby got the blues
Hit the block and he got nothing but the tool
Gotta fix shit, I'ma fix shit
It ain't nothing on the news but the blues
Sorry mama, but your baby got the blues
Hit the block and he got nothing but the tool
I'ma fix shit, watch me fix shit
[Verse 2: RetroJace]
They say we living in hell, so bring your sunblock
Cops keep a gun cocked, they making lungs stop
For a traffic ticket, tragic, all I ask is were you John Madden
On the block, with the rock, like Dwayne Johnson
Hot boy, I got hot toys
If it's 12 around, then let it pop boy
I got bail on me now, take that shit to trial
Brian Nichols to a bailiff, I'ma knock him down
Judge gavel, I don't make a sound
Silence for my youngins, RIP to Mike Brown
This that block talk
Face down outline, then the chalk talk
Ain't made out a cop car, cause
[Hook]
It ain't nothing on the news but the blues
Sorry mama, but your baby got the blues
Hit the block and he got nothing but the tool
Gotta fix shit, I'ma fix shit
It ain't nothing on the news but the blues
Sorry mama, but your baby got the blues
Hit the block and he got nothing but the tool
I'ma fix shit, watch me fix shit
