Homicide reported on the front page

Slain pretty blond girl 22 years of age

 

Big time news a white girl is dead

White stories bleed that’s why they’re read

 

Color is more important is what they say

Report it not once but every day

 

Killed white youth is a rating story

Dead black kid too common don’t worry

 

Tell the truth don’t be a hypocrite

Some lives don’t matter don’t deny it

 

Report it and report it, run it into the ground

Until it hits the last page lost and found

 

A blond is important because she’s white

Black youth sinking better hold on tight

 

Old news is no news and that’s the truth

The future depends on the lives of our youth

 

Don’t lecture me on what really matters

The truth is fragile when it falls it shatters
