No Bad News Today Lyrics: # NO BAD NEWS TODAY [Intro] Yeah Turn di phone face down Open di window Sun already working overtime No bad news today Nah, nah Not today [Verse 1] Wake up, sunlight cutting through di curtain like gold Coffee getting warm while di morning getting bold Phone start buzzing with a headline and a warning Mi say easy, Babylon, mi just wake up this morning Bills pon di table, little red mark pon di mail Everybody selling panic like dem got it wholesale Neighbour got a problem, boss got another plan Whole world moving like it need another helping hand But mi got clean shoes and a beat inside mi chest Bassline rolling heavy, tell mi body take a rest Little reggae chop while di dusty drums knock Surf guitar bending like a wave around di block Mi step outside, breeze hit cool pon mi face Old man nodding from him bicycle place Girl by di bakery laughing with her friend And suddenly mi remember life nah only trend So mi nah scroll doom while di blue sky wide Nah carry every problem like a backpack ride If di world waan shout, let it shout somewhere Today mi got sunshine and some rhythm to spare [Pre-Chorus] Turn it down, turn it down All di noise outside Turn it up, turn it up Let di good bass ride If tomorrow bring trouble Tomorrow can stay Cause mi nah taking bookings for no bad news today [Chorus] No bad news today Keep dat drama far away Sunshine pon mi face And di bassline lead di way No bad news today Let di whole thing wait We got one life moving And tonight we celebrate (Oh-oh) No bad news today (Oh-oh) Keep di trouble away (Oh-oh) Let di good vibes stay No bad news, no bad news today [Verse 2] Mi friend call saying, "Yo, you hear what happen?" Mi say, "If nobody dead, give me five, mi still relaxing" Cause every little rumour turn a spark into flame By lunchtime everybody got a different person's name Social media courtroom, everybody judge Everybody got receipts but nobody hold grudge Till tomorrow when dem find another scandal fi chase Same people, same comments, different picture, different face Mi rather hear di conga and di shaker in time Hear di horn section punch while mi finish this rhyme Long bar, quick turn, little bounce in di diction Old-school boom bap with a Caribbean friction Mi got sand in mi shoes though di beach miles away Got a surf-rock guitar making Tuesday feel Saturday Handclap crack, organ bubble underneath Warm bass wrap around di whole riddim like a wreath And mi know life serious, mi nah pretend otherwise But you can't watch storm clouds every time you see skies Sometimes happiness simple, no philosophy needed Good food, good people and a speaker undefeated [Pre-Chorus] Turn it down, turn it down All di noise outside Turn it up, turn it up Let di good bass ride If tomorrow bring trouble Tomorrow can stay Cause mi nah taking bookings for no bad news today [Chorus] No bad news today Keep dat drama far away Sunshine pon mi face And di bassline lead di way No bad news today Let di whole thing wait We got one life moving And tonight we celebrate (Oh-oh) No bad news today (Oh-oh) Keep di trouble away (Oh-oh) Let di good vibes stay No bad news, no bad news today [Bridge] Maybe di rent still due Maybe di car need fixing Maybe your boss send mail While your rum and lime still mixing Maybe tomorrow morning Reality knock your gate But reality can stand there Tonight reality can wait One step left One step right Whole crew laughing under streetlamp light Brass go BAM Snare go CRACK DJ pull di whole damn riddim right back [Rap Break] Mi say breathe in, breathe out, let di heartbeat settle Life heavy enough, why you adding more metal? Every notification trying fi rent out your brain Every little headline selling sunshine with rain Mi choose selective hearing when negativity call If it can't feed mi soul, mi nah answer at all Not ignorance, nah, just a boundary line Can't save every ship while you're sinking your mind So pass me di rhythm, give di drummer some room Let di bass shake dust from di corner of di room Let di guitar go twang like a hot summer street And di organ bubble wicked underneath di beat From Kingston imagination to a Brooklyn drum break We mix salt with di sugar till di whole thing shake One hundred ten on di clock and di groove don't stall If happiness knock once, mi opening di wall [Final Chorus] NO BAD NEWS TODAY Everybody sing it loud Sunshine pon wi face And wi moving through di crowd NO BAD NEWS TODAY Let tomorrow come late We got one life moving And tonight we celebrate (Oh-oh) No bad news today (Oh-oh) Keep di trouble away (Oh-oh) Let di good vibes stay No bad news, no bad news today [Final Lift] Hey! No bad news! Hey! Not today! Brass up! Bass up! Whole place sway! No bad news No bad news No bad news today [Outro] Phone still buzzing Mi still nah looking Tomorrow, boss Tomorrow.
