[Verse]
Badge heavy, star tarnished, ink smudged on the page
Constitution's crying, locked in a cage
Found a gavel on the floor, justice took a stage dive
Rats in the system, snakes where the laws thrive
Broken oaths echo, halls smell of deceit
Power in the pockets, sold to the elite
Got suits with their hands in every pot,
Blindfold on Lady Justice, she forgot
[Chorus]
Crime against the people, who gon’ pay the cost?
Truth buried deep, innocence lost
Crime against the people, the scales ain't fair
Swear they justice dealers, but they never care
[Verse 2]
Writing laws in the dark, shadows cast long
The ink dry crooked, the foundation wrong
Puppets on strings, dollars make 'em dance
A crime scene chalked out, no second chance
Whispers in the court, deals made under breath
Freedom on the block, sold to the death
Got a badge on my chest, but my heart in my hand
Patrolling this wasteland, it's a no man's land
[Chorus]
Crime against the people, who gon’ pay the cost?
Truth buried deep, innocence lost
Crime against the people, the scales ain't fair
Swear they justice dealers, but they never care
