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 own 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 |
