Dopamine Dimes

Yeah.

You ever feel like your freedom’s just a trademark?

Like the flag’s just a logo—

And you’re just the product?

Pledge allegiance to a brand that won’t see you

Eyes locked to the feed while they bleed you

Every vote bought, every dollar got a mouthpiece

Justice blind till the rich need police

They patent the seeds, then they sell you the rain

Charge you for the cure while they’re spreading the pain

Algorithm’s watching every move you make

Build a profile, buy and sell your fate

Push pills on the block, feed fear on the screen

Keep you locked in the cycle—living half of a dream

Tell you who to trust, who to blame, who to follow

Empty out your hope, leave your spirit hollow

Manufacture crisis, monetize the dread

Tell you freedom’s in a ballot or a hashtag thread

Distraction on the left, corruption on the right

Keep you sleepwalking while they pick your pockets at night

They privatize water, colonize the sky

Monetize your data, feed you the lie

Camera in your hand, camera on the street

Every word you say—every word’s a receipt

Tell you who to love, who to hate, who to pity

While they gut your schools and evict your city

Hands in your pockets, fingers in your mind

America the dealer—slingin’ dopamine dimes

Thought the struggle ended with a bill they passed?

Still got ICE in the hood wearin’ riot masks

Billionaires blast off while the planet cooks

You still payin’ debt for some history books

Preach about peace while they profit off war

Got a million locked up for the cash they score

They pacify the pain with a dopamine drip

But the truth don’t trend, so they bury that shit

Sell you a future on a payment plan

Choke you with the flag and call it part of the brand

Call it liberty while they tighten the chains

Gaslight the masses to cover the stains

They privatize water, colonize the sky

Monetize your data, feed you the lie

Camera in your hand, camera on the street

Every word you say—every word’s a receipt

Tell you who to love, who to hate, who to pity

While they gut your schools and evict your city

Hands in your pockets, fingers in your mind

America the dealer—slingin’ dopamine dimes

They want your labor, your sweat, your surrender

Keep you distracted, compliant, tender

Keep you busy with a screen and a headline scare

So you don’t see the system that was never fair

Teach you just enough to repeat their lies

Fill the history books with alibis

They got their hands in everything you consume

They build your prison, then they call it your room

Sell you salvation with a barcode tag

Take your last dollar for a plastic flag

Call you ungrateful if you question the plot

Say you got freedom, but think we forgot

America the dealer—slingin’ dopamine dimes
