Good News (Radio Edit)

Good news, good news

I could barely wake up this morning

Last night our freedom lost another song, a hope that might restore us

Watch the change right before us

Revolution will be televised on IG live, repost it and support us

We come in peace, and if police lit these guns to force us

Media pockets greased, increase the arms, be cautious

Pages of the printed press, with leaders that ignore us

Every station, radio waves, power to inform us

Working for a life improved, we re-write these columns

Tell me why they try to prove a lie before what's honest?

Tell me, what's the alibi that stops our lives in progress?

Everything I thought I knew could change before the chorus

Maybe with passing days

We find some things will change

Good news always on its way

Tell me why I been living on a deadline

Tell me why good news is so hard to find

Seems like positivity's a crime

Everyday the same headline, hear it all the time

Do we celebrate our heroes?

Do we elevate paychecks, the flex, maxed out so many zeros?

Bad and bougie, money made amigos

Moving kilos, ego of consumption, now our ethos is dysfunction

Keepin' up with Kim, my soul is slim, now it's hurtin'

Way it's been, our hope grows dim before its curtains

Look within and love my skin, and now I'm certain

Change begins with me, don't carry on these burdens

Used to spread abuse, accused without an answer

Read the news, I choose to stop the spread of hate like cancer

Piece together clues, improve the way we living

Stay driven, the work it takes to properly raise these children

Leave a trail that sparks, so fires might ignite up

No better way to start, so now's the time to rise up

Hurt, it breaks our hearts, still grinding 'til it's light out

Freedom in our art, so let that freedom cry out

Tell me why good news is so hard to find

Seems like positivity's a crime

Everyday the same headline, hear it all the time

Tell me why good news is so hard to find

Must be money on their mind

What they selling, I don't buy

So tell me something else this time

Who writes the headlines?

We write the headlines

Constant negativity from Sky News to Dateline

Call out the hate crimes, wars and the state lines

Why we never hear about the heroes on the front lines?

Who writes the headlines?

We write the headlines

Constant negativity from Sky News to Dateline

Call out the hate crimes, war and the statelines

All we asking for is one day for the good times
