Lyrics

Stackin' up debates, it's a power shuffle Play the cards wrong, watch the nation crumble Red and blue ties, but the knot's unreliable Cash in on the truth, now the lies are viable Make a speech spin, in a cycle spiralin' Votin' booth's a casino, the odds are pilin' Puppeteers grin, got democracy wildin' But my verse hits hard, no sugarcoat stylin' Change we need is out of stock, check the back aisle Lead is in the water, but they smile for a while Limousines tinted, but the agendas clearer Pockets lined gold, put the mirror to the mirror Campaign promises, another bait and switch Offices for sale, watch the policy glitch Ballots drop, but the game's predetermined Crowns for the clowns, but the truth's not confirmed in Capital hills where the backdoor deals peak And the grassroots suffocate, silence the weak speak They say power to the people, but the fuse always short Just another red carpet, another faux court Big talks, small action, all for the theater Flash bulbs popping, scene set, mass deceiver Limelight tycoons in the ring, politicking Double-speak rhymes, while the time bomb's ticking In the halls of deceit, where the spin's in rotation Hearts pumping greed, no care for the nation Demagogues on the mic, feeding masses illusion While we write the anthems, be the revolution [Chorus] We're the voice in the crowd, gonna rise, not follow Drop the bass on the truth, make it hard, make it hollow In the headlines (headlines), truth bleeds in snippets Stake a claim in the scene, watch 'em all try to flip it Grasping at the straws of power, they twist and contort Sell a bill of false hopes in this political sport [Verse 2] Got cash in the handshake, dirt under the table Democracy's on sellout, cable news fable Poppin' big vows while they scheme in the shadows And we rise like the beat, break the chains, break the gallows [Chorus] We gon' light it up, like a fuse, we gon' blow Bass hits like a gavel, watch the system overthrow [Verse 3] Dollar bills stackin' while the capital's crackin' Fancy suits frontin', but the trust is lackin' Election season's huntin', they be politi-trappin' Throw a bone to the crowd, watch the clappers start clappin' In the booth with my verse, go ballistic, no static Narrative's mine, ain't no room for the tragic Expose all the fakes, with a beat that's emphatic Queen of the game, my bars democratic [Chorus] We spit fire to the beat, watch the crowd get ecstatic Droppin' bombs on the lies, our truth is automatic Media's loud but the message is cloudy Whispers in the chamber, backroom's rowdy Hidden agendas, the pledges ain't binding Promises vanish, but my rhymes are reminding Lobbyist swag, politicians parading Truth is a treasure and we need some raiding Jigsaw policies, pieces never fitting Grind up the game, my verse never quitting [Chorus] Yeah, we stomp to the beat of the heartland drumming With truth in the booth, we keep the system running
