Текст (слова) песни: Lateef and Lyrics Born - 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
