Headlines Lyrics by AWKWORD

2015

[VERSE 1]
Hopsin told the truth and then called it a rap
Cole sold 400 K in a week, with no flash
In this environment, no singles and no promo
Dipset for life, but goodnight to "no homo"
I made a song to save the oceans, they even paid me
And my old friend Fraud got the world saying "wavy"
Haannn, Immortal Tech, standing with Nas and Common
Plus the rest of New York, with Eric Garner beside em
Uhhh.... Black Lives Matter
And before it became cool, I was the Protest Rapper
Run the Jewels, I refuse all slander
I like Killer Mike, and Mr. David Banner
I rap to make my Mom proud, she died of Cancer
And I cried tears when I saw Shmurda on them cameras
Iggy Azalea, we have no standards
Kanye West, 'boy, mind ya manners'... [continues in verse 2]

[HOOK (2X)]
It’s the headlines, the headlines, headlines in Hip Hop
It’s the White girls, coopting, callin it pop
And every publicist in the world, can't make your shit pop
So pop off, and get offed or, make your shit hot

[VERSE 2 (continuation of verse 1)]
... Please stick to rap, Hip Hop needs you
White fashionistas superficial, they see through
Rhymefest, Donda's House, all about the people
Don Lemon or Bill O’Reilly, who’s more lethal?
New York, LA, Pittsburgh, Ferguson
It’s one hood, Jasiri X, have you heard of him?
Tef Poe on the frontlines, they’ll never murder him
It’s about time, Hip Hop, is finally heard again
I gave the world World View after 60 long months
All the waiting and the holdups had em goin all nuts
The fans rejoiced, got internet action
I sold some albums, and kept em clappin (uhhhh)
Released some singles, repeated some habits
Caught beef with bloggers, theyr’e reactive
I said I would quit, let’s see what happens. (Let’s see what happens. Let’s see what happens.)

[HOOK (2X)]
It’s the headlines, the headlines, headlines in Hip Hop
It’s the White girls, coopting, callin it pop
And every publicist in the world, can't make your shit pop
So pop off, and get offed or, make your shit hot
