Rollercoaster

(This just in, another talented young Black man Thrown in jail, lost his life Just sitting on his couch, in the street) Every time I turn on the news I can't seem to tell a lie from the truth Earthquakes all over the place Contaminated water in Flint is so crazy Big pharma makin' big ol' bucks Sellin' all these deadly and addictive drugs And we don't even know what we can eat We got genetically modified broccoli And they clonin' animals, we eatin' the meat The text thing they turn around They clonin' you and me The way they do the human race Is a ridiculous crime And Colin Kaepernick's knee Got y'all losin' y'all minds? Come on Let me off this rollercoaster (hey) I don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more) I don't wanna ride no more I don't wanna ride no more, no more Let me off this rollercoaster I don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more) I don't wanna ride no more I don't wanna ride no more, no more Every time I turn on my radio It's the sex, lies, the misogyny show All day, every day in my ear If you keep your clothes on Then they call that rare Vulgarity, they raisin' the ante It's the road less traveled If you wanna be classy I look at it all and I'm completely inspired To answer all negativity With a song and a smile And I'ma stand up for what I believe in And I don't care who thinks I'm preachin' Pay attention to the way You're spendin' your time 'Cause keepin' up with the Kardashians is fallin' behind, yeah Let me off this rollercoaster I don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more) I don't wanna ride no more I don't wanna ride no more, no more Let me off this rollercoaster I don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more) I don't wanna ride no more I don't wanna ride no more, no more 'Round and 'round and up and down Yeah, it's makin' me nauseous Let you take me on this ride I've got to be more cautious All this talk of human rights overseas Meanwhile our Black Community is under siege Genocide is focused on the African race Especially in the streets of this USA, now They say that there's a war on terrorism Then the powers that be They need to look in the mirror I thought that we lived in a democracy But I don't remember anyone askin' me, nah They said that our vote would be our voice This insanity could never be anyone's choice 'Cause the whole world is In need of desperate help But the first thing that we need To do is look at ourselves, yeah Let me off this rollercoaster I don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more) I don't wanna ride no more I don't wanna ride no more, no more Let me off this rollercoaster I don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more) I don't wanna ride no more I don't wanna ride no more, no more Mumble rap, Percocet, Oxycodone Amateur pornographic videos I would not believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes If it didn't make me mad It would make me cry Now how are we gonna get Ourselves out of this mess? It's time for us to elevate our consciousness And raise our voice to be The men we want our girls to marry Make love, peace and respect the priority 'Cause we're watchin' as The world falls apart That means we need to Stop and switch our heart 'Cause we create this world we live in The only way to peace is through Let me off this rollercoaster (ooh) I don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more) I don't wanna ride no more I don't wanna ride no more, no more Let me off this rollercoaster I don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more) I don't wanna ride no more I don't wanna ride no more, no more (This just in, another talented young Black man taken to prison Was sitting on his couch Little more than crossing the street See the few and more controversial This school shooting More on this in the news at nine)
