NEWS TODAY
Did you watch the news today?
Did you hear what they say?
One thousand more people passed away
Aw, nah, somebody tell me what's going on
New York, New York, big city of dreams
There's a nightmare goin' down from the Bronx to Queens
And everywhere in between
We fighting somethin' we can't even see
There's an invisible enemy
Just knocked out Italy
Keep the mask on 'cause if you cough
They gon' look at you like you did a felony
And they said we can't hug nobody
Not until we find a remedy
So we pray for Spain, France, and the U.K.
China and U.S.A., I pray we gon' be okay
Pray for the grandmas and grandpas
So they can live to see another day
Did you watch the news today?
Did you hear what they say?
They say, don't worry folks, it's all a hoax
The news is fake and it's all a joke
The death toll's rising with broken hopes
Now they got the cure and an antidote
Inject yourself with a bleach or soap
And a checks in the mail 'cause they know we're broke
Did you watch the news today?
Did you hear what they say?
They said, no one's alive to see the pope
It's a ghost town coast to coast
We're just people that's tryna cope
From different sides with different strokes
Livin' different lives from different tribes
But everybody's in the same boat
Did you hear the news today?
They say the world is one
'Cause we're all fighting a war
But nobody pick up a gun
We got nurses and doctors
They fightin' in the front line, savin' lives
I'm waitin' in line, I'm frightened
In the store, ah, that's the hero
Behind the counter
They makin' the world go round
Riskin' new encounters
They in the front line
Dying for the minimum wage
Did you watch the news today?
Did you hear what they say?
They say stay in the house, don't step out
If you step out, put the mask on your mouth
Six feet back, virus attack
Soap on the hands so your lungs don't collapse
Don't know the truth, don't know the facts
Ro-ro killin' all the brown and the black
COVID-19, got us on our knees
Got the temperature risin', 106 degrees
It don't care if you speak Cantonese
François or Portuguese, Español or Japanese
Gotta start sayin', "I can't breathe"
Ah, isn't it ironic?
When we can't breathe, the planet breathes
And we can see blue sky, blue seas, green leaves, birds and bees
I don't know what to believe
All the lies or conspiracies
Aw, did you hear the news today?
Did you hear what they say?
One thousand more people passed away
Aw, nah, somebody tell me what's going on
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
On, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
Somebody tell me what's going on
Did you hear what they say?
One thousand more people passed away
Aw, nah, somebody tell me what's going on
New York, New York, big city of dreams
There's a nightmare goin' down from the Bronx to Queens
