Local News Lyrics

There's nothin' new in the papers
Think we oughta cut them out all together
Need a baby daddy, mama (All together)
Need some paper to make this count (All together)

I be workin' on the local news
You keep workin' on your stomach
I be workin' on the local news
You keep workin' on your stomach
Workin' on your driver's permit

Need you to face the fact (All together)
Baby, baby, I got what you lack (Every day)
I'ma be your trophy man (Every day)
No need to be upset (Every day)

I be workin' on the local news
You keep workin' on your stomach
I be workin' on the local news
You keep workin' on your stomach
Workin' on your driver's permit

There's a karma-crazed obsession
Need a place to crash tonight
Need a place to be (Every day)
Need a place to be

I be workin' on the local news
You keep workin' on your stomach
I be workin' on the local news
You keep workin' on your stomach
Workin' on your driver's permit

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
