Breaking Newsfeed Blues

[Intro]
[Female]
Scrolling through a storm
Every swipe, one more alarm
Same screen, new war, same harm
(We still here tho)
[Verse 1]
[Male]
They selling fear like a flash sale
"Breaking" every second for the ad tail
Click bait on my soul, that’s a bad deal
But I keep receipts, I’m a fact scale
Timeline full of ties in a tight knot
Truth in the fine print, tiny lil ink blot
They frame pain like a game, that’s a sly shot
I’m changing channels in my mind, that’s my main plot
[Chorus]
[Female]
This that breaking newsfeed blues
Same old hurt in a headline suit
But I tune in to a higher view
I don’t live by the news, I move by the truth
[Male + Female]
This that breaking, breaking, breaking through
They report my falls, they don’t track my roots
Every scar I got is a living proof
I don’t live by the news, I move by the truth (yeah)
[Verse 2]
[Female]
Anchor on the screen with the straight face
Talk about my city like a lost case
They crop out the love, every warm place
But we still pass plates at the church base
They say "pray for…" like a quick tag
Then flip to a drama in a gift bag
I be turning verses to a lift bag
Carry every name in my ribcage, that’s a big sag
[Male]
They run stats on my block like a stock chart
But never quote the grandma with the soft heart
She literate in spirit, that’s a lost art
Read my aura like a graph in the dark part
I’m tuned to a whisper that the world mutes
Spirit like a signal in my worn boots
They want sound bites, I want sound roots
Every step a sermon in these brown routes (hey)
[Chorus]
[Female]
This that breaking newsfeed blues
Same old hurt in a headline suit
But I tune in to a higher view
I don’t live by the news, I move by the truth
[Male + Female]
This that breaking, breaking, breaking through
They report my falls, they don’t track my roots
Every scar I got is a living proof
I don’t live by the news, I move by the truth
[Bridge]
[Male]
Push play on my pain, they get prime time
But the punchlines holy when I write mine
"Spirit went viral" on the byline
Heaven been trending in my lifeline
[Female]
They spell my name wrong in the short clip
But God got the letters in a firm grip
Every typo turned to a tongue slip
Still I speak life on a dry lip (oh)
[Chorus]
[Female]
This that breaking newsfeed blues
Same old hurt in a headline suit
But I tune in to a higher view
I don’t live by the news, I move by the truth
[Male + Female]
This that breaking, breaking, breaking through
They report my falls, they don’t track my roots
Every scar I got is a living proof
I don’t live by the news, I move by the truth (yeah)

rap, Minimalist trap beat with tight hi-hat grids and cavernous sub bass; male and female vocals trading lead and chorus like headline and anchor. Verses stay close and conversational, almost whispered, with space for punchlines to land; hook lifts into layered call-and-response chants with airy pads and soft choir stabs for a spiritual undertone. Occasional riser sweeps and reverse reverb tails give a floating, adept, late-night broadcast feel., deep
