Lyrics:
You're blind, baby
You're blind from the facts on who you are
Cause you're watchin' that garbage
The woman makes the men all pause
And if you got a woman
She might make you forget yours
There's a five-letter word to describe her character
But her brains been washed by an actor
And every real man that tries to approach
Come the closer he comes, he gets dissed like a roach
I don't think I can handle
She goes channel to channel
Cold lookin' for that hero
She watch channel zero
She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch (zero)
Yo, baby, you got to cut that garbage off
Yo, I wanna watch the game
What is you doin'?
Hey yo, lemme tell you a little something
I'ma take all your soaps and I'm gon' hang 'em on a rope
You know what I'm saying?
Cause that garbage you watchin' don't make no sense
Hey yo, lemme tell you a little something, baby
I'ma take your set and I'ma throw it out the window, G
Two, seven, five, four, eight, she watched, she said
All added up to zero and nothing in her head
She turns and turns
And she hopes the soaps are for real
She learns that it ain't true, nope
But she won't survive and rather die in a lie
Falls a fool for some dude on the tube
I don't think I can handle
She goes channel to channel
Cold lookin' for that hero
She watch channel zero
She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch (zero)
Yo, baby, do you think I'm jokin'?
Do it look like I'm jokin'?
I ain't jokin', word up, baby
Yo, cut that garbage off now
Yo, I got the Tyson fight on, you know what I'm sayin'?
Yo, so you can't be comin' in here stagnating like that, you know what I'm sayin'?
Yo, we gettin' ready to watch the Super Bowl
We got a black quarterback so step back
Trouble vision for a sister cause I know she don't know, I quote
Her brains retrained by a 24-inch remote
Revolution a solution for all of our children
But her children don't mean as much as the show, I mean
Watch her worship the screen and fiend
For a TV ad, and it just makes me mad
I don't think I can handle
She goes channel to channel
Cold lookin' for that hero
She watch channel zero
She watch, she watch, she watch, she watch (zero)
Yo baby, can't you see that's nonsense you watchin'?
Look, don't nobody look like that
Nobody even live that, you know what I'm sayin'?
You watchin' garbage, nothin' but garbage, straight up garbage
Yo, why don't you back up from the TV
Read a book or something
Read about yourself
Learn your culture, you know what I'm sayin?
Yo, lemme tell you a little something
You're blind, baby
You're blind from the facts on who you are
Cause you're watchin' that garbage
You understand what I'm saying?
Garbage, nothin' but pure garbage
You're blind, baby
