The Weeknd - Shutter Shades lyrics

[Intro: Macklemore] Oh we ridin', check it Yeah, the Mack is back You already know baby It's time for a public service announcement From yours truly [Verse 1:Drake] Don't ever tell me the media ain't biased They make everything sound so fake, they a bunch of liars Yeah, media been ridin' in the backseat since Day 1 Creating drama about me and ghostwriting but at the same time staying on for the fun Released VIEWS then everybody went crazy “Damn, the 6ix God is back” now doesn't that seem a little hazy? (guess so) [Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar] “All my life I want money and power Respect my mind or die from lead shower.” Man I'm the modern day Einstein of lyrics Obama thinks I'm the god of rap Errbody love me cause they know when K.Dot on the track he ‘finna KILL IT (Uh) bu*terfly had the white man crouchin down' Media make it seem like I wanna turn this into a bloody playground But dear Media, what was up with you and the mugshots you postin' For the black men, but yearbook photos for the white? You gotta be jokin' Hol' up hol' up, it's the one time comin See little things like that are actually pretty damn important Especially when you're basically the entire world's informant I'm just tryna stand up for my brothers and my mothers #BLACKLIVESMATTER for my cousin they shot in '94 And for every hitta' that came after in this long, tired war [Hook: The Weeknd + Kehlani] These damn shutter shades They nothin' but a tool the media made We put ‘em on and just act like it's completely okay To watch whatever the news wants to show us today These damn shutter shades We put ‘em on every single day We act like everything will be okay It's not like our closed vision will stay [Verse 3: Macklemore] Surprise surprise, Mack on the beat! So get this, picture a happy family gatherin' around the living room TV Picture a nice, joyful, happy family They're sittin' in the living room, all glued to a TV Now picture a mindless comedian blabberin' on about another clueless politician Makin' fun of one's views while respecting the other's opinion There's no point of even hiding the fact that the media's biased We saw it with Trump and we see it everyday with a new global crisis Nas rapped about it back in 2008, do you want more proof? In today's cla** kids, we're gonna learn how to create media bias All you need is an incomplete story Use some mean words, say some mean things Take some things out of context if you need to And voila! You'll take over all the channels It's so simple, it's been tried and true [Hook: The Weeknd] These damn shutter shades They nothin' but a tool the media made We put ‘em on and just act like it's completely okay To watch whatever the news wants to show us today These damn shutter shades We put ‘em on every single day We act like everything will be okay It's not like our closed vision will stay [Bridge: Kehlani] Oh, and it's just not fair Sellin' their morality and their ethics All for a little more business It's not just towards minorities or to Trump, but to women too More concerned with what they're wearing or their relationships The what and the who [Hook: Kehlani] These damn shutter shades They nothin' but a tool the media made We put ‘em on and just act like it's completely okay To watch whatever the news wants to show us today These damn shutter shades We put ‘em on every single day We act like everything will be okay It's not like our closed vision will stay *TOTAL WORD COUNT OF VERSES AND RELEVANT ANNOTATIONS: 998 WORDS*
