Bad News

[Verse 1]
You ain’t gotta shed a solitary tear for me
Or even pray for me
I hear the message loud and clear, what they say to me
They say we went a thousand years with a chain on me
So now I’m flossin all the freedom that I gave to me
Yeah, now don’t it look nice?
I don’t owe nobody no favors, I don’t ask twice
And when the shooters get to shootin’, I’ma get mine
Just like the women before me, I join the front line
But it’s new day, it’s a different gamе
And when I hit the sun the mеlanin change
That’s how I know I got the blood of a militant gang
A Katipunan Pampagueña, ain’t a damn thing changed
And I’ma always keep it G, Guerilla with a U
Assata comin thru with the shotta, looky-loos
Get popped on the news, right out they lucky shoes
So lady don’t sing me the blues

[Chorus ft. Niko]
‘Cause I’m tuning you out, I’m tuning you out
I’m so tired of the sad songs, I’m tuning you out
(I’m so tired of the bad news, I’m tuning you out)

[Verse 2]
Now you ain’t even gotta worry ‘bout me, or concern-troll me
I think that I survived enough to have my wits ‘bout me
I know your people prolly don’t give a shit bout me
Feelin’s mutual but you still get rich off me
I don’t pray to your temple or give an offerin’
We gave our land, our labor, we still sufferin’
That cross on your chain, the rosary you still clutchin’
Stereotypes, you still perpetuating
Ain’t a damn thing changed, my last name changed
And I still don’t know when my accent changed
From a native dialect to a hip hop slang
It’s a ‘hood thang baby, you just wouldn’t understand
How we….came from a place that had everything but we still poor
So what the fuck we still here for?
I will never take advice from an imperial force
You can check my background for an empirical source (uh huh)

[Repeat Chorus]
