[Intro]
At the center of the maze there stands a door
And a question carved in iron long before
Whose name, whose name
[Verse 1]
I've heard every deflection that a boardroom ever built
The vendor blames the client, and the client spreads the guilt
To a model no one authored, to a dataset that grew
The algorithm did it — well, the algorithm's who?
A system made a ruling, and the ruling wrecked a life
And somewhere there's a signature that sharpened up the knife
[Chorus]
Whose name, whose name
Answers when it breaks
Whose name, whose name
Stands behind the stakes
If no one holds the pen, then the pen ain't fit to sign
If nobody's accountable, the fault is by design
Say the name, say the name
Whose name
[Verse 2]
And don't you walk it down the ladder to the smallest badge you find
The watcher on the graveyard with the waiver countersigned
Accountability rolls upward like the smoke above a flame
To the office where the choice was made, the budget and the aim
The one who set the thresholds, the one who forced the date
The name belongs to power, not the poor soul at the gate
[Chorus]
Whose name, whose name
Answers when it breaks
Whose name, whose name
Stands behind the stakes
If no one holds the pen, then the pen ain't fit to sign
If nobody's accountable, the fault is by design
Say the name, say the name
Whose name
[Verse 3]
But a name alone won't save you if the reasons can't be shown
Every ruling needs a record, every verdict needs its bones
Walk me backward through the logic, from the outcome to the seed
If the box can't show its working, then the box don't get the lead
Some rooms can keep their secrets, where the stakes are low and small
But where shelter, health, and freedom ride, the silence damns us all
[Verse 4]
And don't post a human by the box to bless what can't be read
A witness blind to the machine's a signature, not a check
He can't explain a judgment that was never his to see
The loop don't make it legible, it just moves the liability
So show me where the choice was made, and show me who was told
'Cause a trail that can't be walked at dawn is a story that's been sold
[Bridge]
Build me in before the launch, not after the debris
Give every choice a keeper, every ruling a receipt
Write the names into the charter, wire the records through review
So when the midnight phone call comes, it knows who it's coming to
'Cause I'm not hungry for a hanging, I want ownership instead
Bring me stewards, not scapegoats, and a trail that can be read
[Outro]
Whose name, whose name
Above the door
Whose name, whose name
And show the work
Answer while it's cheap to answer
Answer before it's blood and law
Whose name
Whose name
Whose name
