[Verse]
Yo, the block buzzin’, whispers in the cold air,
“Dem’s folded, left us hangin’—nothin’ fair, nothin’ there.”
Talk tough in debates, but they crumble in the clutch,
Promises dissolve, just vapor to the touch.
Double premiums, but the paycheck don’t stretch,
Hustlin’ harder, while they chillin’ on the bench.
Shut the gov down? Nah, they shut us out,
Lip service loud, but action’s a drought.
[Chorus]
They caved, they caved, now the streets enraged,
We the ones payin’, stuck in this cage.
Foldin’ like cards, no fight, no gains,
Shut down the trust, now it’s just disdain.
[Verse 2]
They left the workers hangin’ with no parachute,
Bills stackin’ higher while they argue in their suits.
The people’s faith? It’s a ghost in the breeze,
Elected to lead, but they beg on their knees.
Cynicism’s risin’, feel it seepin’ through the cracks,
Promises of progress? Nah, they takin’ steps back.
We out here grindin’, they just placin’ the bets,
Shut the lights on the gov, but not on our debts.
[Bridge]
Yo, who gon’ fight when the table’s set for kings?
We pawns in the game, chasin’ impossible things.
Double-talk, double-cross, double premiums too,
The rich stay rich, the poor gettin’ screwed.
