Radio
KRS-One & Eneeone Lyrics

Hey, I can't find nothing on the radio
I can't find any music that appeals to me on the radio

Ah, yo turn to that station
You should try changing the station

The world is collapsing
The world is changing rapidly

Around our ears
We are surrounded by these changes

I turned up the radio
I tried listening to the radio to forget my worries

But I can't hear it
The music on the radio is no longer comforting

When I got to the house
When I got home

And I called you out
And I said hello to you

I could tell that you had been crying, crying
I could see that you were upset and had been crying

It's that same sing-song on the radio
It's the same monotonous music playing on the radio

Makes me sad
It's depressing

I meant to turn it off
I wanted to turn it off

To say goodbye
To leave

To leave in quiet, that radio song (see ya)
To leave without any fuss while the radio was still playing

Hey, hey, hey (ha-ha)
An expression of derision

(Hup, hup) I've everything to show (everything to show)
I have a lot to demonstrate

I've everything to hide (everything to hide)
But I also have a lot to conceal

Look into my eyes
Pay attention to what I'm saying

When I got to the show
When I went to perform

Yo, ho, ho
An exclamation of amusement

It's that same sing-song and the DJ sucks
The music playing is terrible and the DJ is boring

It makes me sad
It's depressing

I tried to turn it off (turn it off)
I tried to switch it off

To say goodbye, my love
To leave without any fuss

That radio song
The song playing on the radio

The world is collapsing
The world is changing rapidly

Around our ears
We are surrounded by these changes

I turned up the radio
I tried listening to the radio to forget my worries

But I can't hear it
The music on the radio is no longer comforting

Yeah
An expression of agreement

(Yeah)
An expression of agreement

(Baby, baby, baby, baby)
A vocal riff commonly used in R&B music

(Hup, hup)
A vocal riff used to accentuate the beat

I tried to sing along
I tried to join in the singing

But damn that radio song (man) hey, hey, hey
But that radio song is really frustrating

Hey, hey, hey
An expression of frustration

I've everything to show (everything to show)
I have a lot to demonstrate

I've everything to hide (everything to hide)
But I also have a lot to conceal

Look into my eyes, listen to the radio
Pay attention to what I'm saying and what's currently playing on the radio

I turned up the radio
I tried listening to the radio to forget my worries

But I can't hear it
The music on the radio is no longer comforting

No, I can't hear it
The music on the radio isn't loud enough to drown out my problems

Hey, hey, hey
An expression of frustration

(Say what?) hey, hey, hey
An exclamation of disbelief

(Lemme hear that bass first)
An instruction to focus on a particular aspect of the music

Hey, hey, hey
An expression of frustration

Hey, hey, hey (yeah, hup)
An expression of emphasis

Hey, hey, hey (say what, say what, say what?)
A call for attention

Hey, hey, hey
An expression of frustration

Check it out
Pay attention to this

What are you saying, what are you playing?
What is your message? What music are you broadcasting?

Who are you obeying, day-out, day-in, huh?
Who do you work for and what values do they promote?

That stuff is driving me crazy
That music is making me feel insane

DJs communicate to the masses
DJs have a powerful means of influencing people

Sex and violent classes
DJs often promote sexually explicit and violent content

Now our children grow up prisoners
Nowadays, our children are being negatively influenced by bad music

All their life, radio listeners
Our children are being programmed by the radio from an early age
