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
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 talking
Talk talk talking
Chicken heads keep squawking
Power of the spoken word is infinite
You can tell
Cause people are always talking
Talking on the run talking while walking
Talking in line talking in circles
Talking in time all over the world
Talking bout whatever's on their mind that's fine
Talking bout who they hawking
Who they watching
Who they clocking
Who they heard was up to something popping
Always talking about who they remember and who's forgotten
Who's rocking the set and who's flopping dropping out
Talking bout people from the cradle to the coffing
Talking bout people talking bout people talking bout people
Talking bout people non stop talking often
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
People talk shit
Their minds reinforce it
Spitting out words and thoughts that are amorphous
Pushing sloppy sound out of their vocal orifice
Like it ain't being recorded
Sometimes a words scorch is worse than torches
What's more
Is the talk ain't 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 bullshitting 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 philandering using sex like a sedative
Repetitive like rhetoric
I'm betting ya think ya nice cause
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 words
I heard two 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 waiting in grass
Those that talk the most got the least to say
But that ain't nothing new
And it ain't even really all that
