Good News

(album: Time - 2020)

I been waiting on some good news (So good, so good)
For the clouds to part and let the light shine through
I wanna wake up to a better tomorrow
'Cause I've had enough, where is the trust? Where is the truth?
It's about time for some good news

I been waiting on some good news
For the clouds to part and let the light shine through
I wanna wake up to a better tomorrow (Ooh-ooh)
'Cause I've had enough, where is the trust? Where is the truth?
It's about time for some good news

Yeah, I'm just happy to be breathing
I ain't tryna to see what's on the newscast this evening
Nah, I don't need no reason
Music in the air, got the Grammys on the cable
Dinner on the plate, whole family at the table
This that home-cooked, hit your soul, take your shoes off
This that feel good, yell it loud from the rooftop
This that snow day, all the kids taking school off
This that "Billy Jean," Michael Jackson first moonwalk
And I been waiting for some good news, good news
I'm just tryna get my footloose, footloose
And we been dealing with the wrong things so long
The smallest things can make it right, that's why we hold on
For some good news

I been waiting on some good news
For the clouds to part and let the light shine through
I wanna wake up to a better tomorrow (Ooh-ooh)
'Cause I've had enough, where is the trust? Where is the truth?
It's about time for some good news

Oh-oh (Oh-oh, yeah), uh, tell me something good
Looking for some good news
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah, looking for some good news
Tell me something good (Ooh, yeah)

Uh, yeah, I'm feeling like we never talk about what's going right
My daughter's smiling 'cause her braces fixed her overbite
And she's excited 'cause her friends are staying overnight
It's just the simple things that we get out of life
Forget the drama all around me, I don't wanna hear it
I swear the more you talk about what's going wrong
That's when you start to fear it
And this ain't that, this is payday with a pay raise
This that walking away with the W on game day
This that good luck, yeah, we praying for it
This that McDonald's drive-through when the guy in front's paying forward
Help somebody, all that other shit just ain't important
And watch what happens tomorrow when you be waiting
For some good news

I been waiting on some good news (Yeah, me too)
For the clouds to part and let the light shine through
I wanna wake up to a better tomorrow (Ooh-ooh)
'Cause I've had enough, where is the trust? Where is the truth?
It's about time for some good news

Oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh-oh, yeah), tell me something good (Tell me something)
Oh-oh (That I wanna hear), oh-oh, tell me something good (Woo, yeah)

It's a lesson well learned, so praise is well due
Let's-let's tell 'em, Classified, so-so-so what you wanna do? (Yeah-yeah-yeah)
I-I am myself, no gangsta be playing me (Yeah)
No script to be waiting on scenery (Yeah, oh)
From nine in the morning 'til eight o'clock
We in the thick of it, and it don't stop (And it don't stop) (Oh, yeah)
Where is the trust? Where is the truth?
It's about time for some good news, yeah
