News Man
Don't give it up
Give it up
Give it up
You know
You know you got it
Don't give it up
Give it up
Give it up
You know
You know you got it
Turn on the news, turn away then I turn back
I am not in this world alone
Sitting listless, listen while the movement lives
While the strangers tap tap our telephones
And I know I gotta fight it
And I know to face the cop and to keep on the line
For this freedom inside
I can feel, I can find
If I'm running its only cause I can buy the time
And I'm
Drinking sugar to sedate this mind
Smoking tree, elevate this mind
Finding light in between the rhymes
Cause the world has my life and the world isn't kind, no
And I know that you're hurting, and I want to do my part to make the pain go away
Cause the more we push, the more the system caves
When between each fight it seems, we lose our right to dream
How much of life are we made to keep fighting?
Billboards and TV screens, nothing is what it seems
We make believe, re-imagining what should be
Seen the news man on the TV
Said "whats the point of even dreaming?"
This game will make you wanna forfeit
You'll lose your grip on what's important
Papa kept CNN on
Keeping tabs on how we went wrong
Ticker tape talking bout tragedy
Terrorism what it had to be
Living in a petrified permanent state
Off work at 8
Roll up a Jay
Fix up a plate
Staring at the TV screen
Wondering if everything is what it seems
Havent seen a story with some good in the last 60 minutes
Sometimes it feels so vicious
Couple kids I taught aint allowed television
I told em "look, you're lucky. Tryna live like how you living
I'm in the loop, I'm well informed
I'm in the booth, you ready for
The real world?
I hope not
You need time to enjoy not knowing
Before them signs of life stop showing
And you grow accustom to death and the negative
In search of a sedative
Or a distraction
Or an illusion
I don't want you to get ruined
It feel like its inevitable sometimes
I'm feeling like its better to loose sometimes
Feel the feel of failing and falling
Learn to rise up cuz its gonna happen often
Seen the news man on the TV
Said "whats the point of even dreaming?"
This game will make you wanna forfeit
You'll lose your grip on what's important
Don't give it up
Give it up
Give it up
You know
You know you got it
Don't give it up
Give it up
Give it up
You know
You know you got it
Seen the news man on the TV
Said "whats the point of even dreaming?"
This game will make you wanna forfeit
You'll lose your grip on what's important
Give it up
Give it up
You know
You know you got it
Don't give it up
Give it up
Give it up
You know
You know you got it
Turn on the news, turn away then I turn back
