We weren't born last night.

"We Weren’t Born Last Night"

You polish your words like silver spoons,

Feeding us lines with forked-up tunes.

But we read between those velvet laws,

And we see the rust beneath your cause.

You raise your glass behind closed doors,

Toastin' power while we mop floors.

You bet our futures on lucky hands,

But we’re not chips in your game plan.

We weren’t born last night,

We’ve seen too much to close our eyes.

Your smoke won’t hide the sleight of hand,

We built this place, we understand.

You talk like kings, but we ignite—

We weren’t born last night.

You draft your bills in legal lace,

While we run marathons just to keep pace.

Your promises are painted gold,

But they peel like lies when the air gets cold.

We weren’t born last night,

We’ve heard that song, it don’t sound right.

We’re not your echo, not your shield,

We’re the roots that own this field.

We see the strings behind the light—

We weren’t born last night.

We carry grit in calloused palms,

You carry pens that drop our bombs.

But don't forget, we’ve got the vote,

And we’re the tide beneath your boat.

Every voice you tried to dim,

Now rings like thunder rollin'

We weren’t born last night,

And we’re done playin’ polite.

The curtain's torn, the mask is thin,

This is where the people begin.

You can bluff, but we won’t bite—

We weren’t born last night.

So write this down in plain daylight…

We weren’t fooled, and we won’t fold.

We weren’t born last night.
