SINGER: Lateef And Lyrics Born

SONG:Bad News

Chorus : bad news travels fast / and if it's about you you'll probably hear
'bout it last / but when they press up / and check up / and they ask / you
Gotta keep perspective on the future and the past / and laugh / while they
Keep talkin' / talk talk talkin / chicken heads keep squawkin' / power
Of the spoken word is infinite / you can tell / cuz people are always
Talking / talking on the run talking while walking, / talking in line,
Talking in circles, / talking in time all over the world / talkin' 'bout
Whatever's on their mind- that's fine / talkin' 'bout who they hawkin, who
They watchin, who they clockin, / who they heard was up to something
Poppin' / always talkin' about who they remember and who's forgotten /
Who's rockin' the set and who's floppin', droppin' out / talkin' 'bout
People from the cradle to the coffin / talkin' 'bout people, talkin' 'bout
People, talkin' 'bout people, / talkin' 'bout people non-stop talkin' often
/chorus /people talk shit / their minds reinforce it / spittin' out words
And thoughts that are amorphous / pushin' sloppy sound out of their vocal
Orifice / like it ain't bein' recorded / sometimes a words scorch is worse
Than torches / whats more / is the talk aint uniform or rehearsed / it's
The richest, the poorest,/ from ceo boardrooms to porches to alley ways and
Gutters / from coast to coast, east to west, south to north / it's people
Talking of course! / like life is a courtroom / most bullshittin' from
Midnight to high noon and back again / blacks and the blacker thans /
Whites and the africans / far to little action far to much satisfaction /
In philanderin' usin' sex like a sedative / repetitive like rhetoric / i'm
Bettin' ya think ya nice cuz you give free add-vice right? / but unless you
Got a tight alternative it's best to let it just live! / and raise the
Octave up to the positive / even though they try and stop you up / arteries
Cloggeded / the black man targeted that's how they set it off, they said it
/ but in the end it will be only them that's effected by they negative vibe
/ i know it hurts, there is no indigestion worse /than that which comes
From having to eat your own word(s), / i heard two(2) people need not
Bicker in a burning home / but some people know how to live everybodies
Life but their own so, / here's the poem dedicated / to the hatred
Propagated by the ill-fated / snakes that's waitin' in grass / those that
Talk the most got the least to say / but that ain't nothin' new / and it
Ain't even really all that
