[Intro]
BThis C#mjust inE, another talented young Black man
Thrown in jail, lost his life, just sitting on his couch, in the street
[Verse 1]
BEvery time I turn on the news
C#mI can't seem to tell a lie from the truth
EEarthquakes all over the place
EContaminated water in Flint is so crazy
BBig pharma makin’ big ol' bucks
C#mSellin' all these deadly and addictive drugs
EAnd we don’t even know what we can eat
EWe got genetically modified broccoli
BAnd they clonin' animals, we eatin' the meat
C#mThe text thing they turn around, they clonin' you and me
EThe way they do the human race is a ridiculous crime
EAnd Colin Kaepernick's knee got y'all losin' y'all minds? Come on
[Chorus]
BLet me off this rollercoaster (Hey)
C#mI don’t wanna ride no more (I don’t wanna ride no more)
EI don't wanna ride no more, I don’t wanna ride no more, no more
BLet me off this rollercoaster
C#mI don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more)
EI don't wanna ride no more, I don’t wanna ride no more, no more
[Verse 2]
BEvery time I turn on my radio
C#mIt's the sex, lies, the misogyny show
EAll day, every day in my ear
EIf you keep your clothes on, then they call that rare
BVulgarity, they raisin' the ante
C#mIt's the road less traveled if you wanna be classy
EI look at it all and I'm completely inspired
ETo answer all negativity with a song and a smile
BAnd I'ma stand up for what I believe in
C#mAnd I don't care who thinks I'm preachin'
EPay attention to the way you're spendin' your time
E'Cause keepin' up with the Kardashians is fallin' behind, yeah
[Chorus]
BLet me off this rollercoaster
C#mI don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more)
EI don't wanna ride no more, I don't wanna ride no more, no more
BLet me off this rollercoaster
C#mI don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more)
EI don't wanna ride no more, I don't wanna ride no more, no more
[Bridge]
G'Round and 'round and F#up and down
GYeah, it's makin' me nF#auseous
GLet you take me F#on this ride
GI've got to be F#more cautious
[Verse 4]
BAll this talk of human rights overseas
C#mMeanwhile our Black community is under siege
EGenocide is focused on the African race
EEspecially in the streets of this USA, now
BThey say that there's a war on terrorism
C#mThen the powers that be, they need to look in the mirror
EI thought that we lived in a democracy
EBut I don't remember anyone askin' me, nah
BThey said that our vote would be our voice
C#mThis insanity could never be anyone's choice
E'Cause the whole world is in need of desperate help
EBut the first thing that we need to do is look at ourselves, yeah
[Chorus]
BLet me off this rollercoaster
C#mI don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more)
EI don't wanna ride no more, I don't wanna ride no more, no more
BLet me off this rollercoaster
C#mI don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more)
EI don't wanna ride no more, I don't wanna ride no more, no more
[Verse 4]
BMumble rap, Percocet, Oxycodone
C#mAmateur pornographic videos
EI would not believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes
EIf it didn't make me mad, it would make me cry
BNow how are we gonna get ourselves out
of this C#mmess? It's time for us to
elevate our consciousnEess
EAnd raise our voice to be the men we
Ewant our girls to marry
EMake love, peace and respect the
BPriority. Cause we're watchin' as the
World falls C#mapart. That means we need
to stop and switch our own hEeart
E'Cause we create this world we live in
EThe only way to peace is through
[Chorus]
BLet me off this rollercoaster (Ooh)
C#mI don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more)
EI don't wanna ride no more, I don't wanna ride no more, no more
BLet me off this rollercoaster
C#mI don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more)
EI don't wanna ride no more, I don't wanna ride no more, no more
[Outro]
