Intro:
BB  C# minorC#m  E MajorE
This just in, another talented young Black man
Thrown in jail, lost his life, just sitting on his couch, in the street

Verse 1:
BB
Every time I turn on the news
C# minorC#m
I can't seem to tell a lie from the truth
E MajorE
Earthquakes all over the place
E MajorE
Contaminated water in Flint is so crazy
BB
Big pharma makin’ big ol' bucks
C# minorC#m
Sellin' all these deadly and addictive drugs
E MajorE
And we don’t even know what we can eat
E MajorE
We got genetically modified broccoli
BB
And they clonin' animals, we eatin' the meat
C# minorC#m
The text thing they turn around, they clonin' you and me
E MajorE
The way they do the human race is a ridiculous crime
E MajorE
And Colin Kaepernick's knee got y'all losin' y'all minds? Come on


Chorus:
BB
Let me off this rollercoaster (Hey)
C# minorC#m
I don’t wanna ride no more (I don’t wanna ride no more)
E MajorE
I don't wanna ride no more, I don’t wanna ride no more, no more
BB
Let me off this rollercoaster
C# minorC#m
I don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more)
E MajorE
I don't wanna ride no more, I don’t wanna ride no more, no more

Verse 2:
BB
Every time I turn on my radio
C# minorC#m
It's the sex, lies, the misogyny show
E MajorE
All day, every day in my ear
E MajorE
If you keep your clothes on, then they call that rare
BB
Vulgarity, they raisin' the ante
C# minorC#m
It's the road less traveled if you wanna be classy
E MajorE
I look at it all and I'm completely inspired
E MajorE
To answer all negativity with a song and a smile
BB
And I'ma stand up for what I believe in
C# minorC#m
And I don't care who thinks I'm preachin'
E MajorE
Pay attention to the way you're spendin' your time
E MajorE
'Cause keepin' up with the Kardashians is fallin' behind, yeah


Chorus:
BB
Let me off this rollercoaster
C# minorC#m
I don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more)
E MajorE
I don't wanna ride no more, I don't wanna ride no more, no more
BB
Let me off this rollercoaster
C# minorC#m
I don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more)
E MajorE
I don't wanna ride no more, I don't wanna ride no more, no more


Bridge:
G+G           F#F#
'Round and 'round and up and down
G+G           F#F#
Yeah, it's makin' me nauseous
G+G        F#F#
Let you take me on this ride
G+G       F#F#
I've got to be more cautious


Verse 4:
BB
All this talk of human rights overseas
C# minorC#m
Meanwhile our Black community is under siege
E MajorE
Genocide is focused on the African race
E MajorE
Especially in the streets of this USA, now
BB
They say that there's a war on terrorism
C# minorC#m
Then the powers that be, they need to look in the mirror
E MajorE
I thought that we lived in a democracy
E MajorE
But I don't remember anyone askin' me, nah
BB
They said that our vote would be our voice
C# minorC#m
This insanity could never be anyone's choice
E MajorE
'Cause the whole world is in need of desperate help
E MajorE
But the first thing that we need to do is look at ourselves, yeah


Chorus:
BB
Let me off this rollercoaster
C# minorC#m
I don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more)
E MajorE
I don't wanna ride no more, I don't wanna ride no more, no more
BB
Let me off this rollercoaster
C# minorC#m
I don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more)
E MajorE
I don't wanna ride no more, I don't wanna ride no more, no more


Verse 4:
BB
Mumble rap, Percocet, Oxycodone
C# minorC#m
Amateur pornographic videos
E MajorE
I would not believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes
E MajorE
If it didn't make me mad, it would make me cry
BB
Now how are we gonna get ourselves out
    C# minorC#m
of this mess? It's time for us to
           E MajorE
elevate our consciousness
E MajorE
And raise our voice to be the men we
E MajorE
want our girls to marry
E MajorE
Make love, peace and respect the
BB
Priority. Cause we're watchin' as the
      C# minorC#m
World falls apart. That means we need
              E MajorE
to stop and switch our own heart
E MajorE
'Cause we create this world we live in
E MajorE
The only way to peace is through


Chorus:
BB
Let me off this rollercoaster (Ooh)
C# minorC#m
I don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more)
E MajorE
I don't wanna ride no more, I don't wanna ride no more, no more
BB
Let me off this rollercoaster
C# minorC#m
I don't wanna ride no more (I don't wanna ride no more)
E MajorE
I don't wanna ride no more, I don't wanna ride no more, no more
