[Intro]
Yeah
It’s Granger
You hear ’em out there?
They talkin’ to you
[Verse 1]
Dear Mr. President
You sittin’ in that leather chair elegant
Signing off checks while the tenements
Crumblin’
Mold in the vents
That’s evidence
United States Inc
Boardroom government
Lobbyist letters in your daily supplement
Share price up
But the streets feel under it
Moms on EBT
But the banks get the butter
It’s
Kids in your war zones
Kids in your courts
Kids in them cages for them quotas you report
Billionaire buddies on a yacht in the ports
While we count overtime
Short pay
Long shorts
You shake hands
Cameras in your face flash
We shake in line wonderin’ if the card’ll pass
You call it “growth
” we call it “broken glass”
So when I say your name
I’m speakin’ for the mass
[Chorus]
Look ’em in the eye
Tell me who you serve
(Who you serve?) (hey!)
Flag on the lapel
Blood on the curb
(on the curb) (ohhh)
United States Inc
All about the purse
(all about the purse)
I’m here to make you answer
Every line
Every hurt
Hold ’em accountable
(name ’em all, name ’em all)
Hold ’em accountable
(til they fall, til they fall)
Hold ’em accountable
(we won’t stall, we won’t stall)
I’m speakin’ for the people
You gon’ hear us all
[Verse 2]
See
There’s judges on the payroll
Cops in the game
CEOs smilin’ while they dodgin’ all the blame
Private prison warden braggin’ on the plane
’Bout “occupancy
” like we furniture
Man
There’s chiefs of police with the “lost” body cams
Contractor cousins with the storm FEMA scams
Old buddies on the board of your “clean” pipelines
When the water from the tap still brown in they hands
You preach “law and order” but your donors never booked
They cook the books
Y’all just look the other way
Shook
Tell the press “mistakes
” write it off in a footnote
We do one mistake
Wear it like a steel coat
This is roll call
I’m readin’ off the roster
From the hedge fund ghoul to the pharma imposter
You signed it
Stamped it
Sealed it like a sponsor
So when it all burns
Don’t you dare play “I’m a watcher”
[Chorus]
Look ’em in the eye
Tell me who you serve
(Who you serve?) (hey!)
Flag on the lapel
Blood on the curb
(on the curb) (ohhh)
United States Inc
All about the purse
(all about the purse)
I’m here to make you answer
Every line
Every hurt
Hold ’em accountable
(name ’em all, name ’em all)
Hold ’em accountable
(til they fall, til they fall)
Hold ’em accountable
(we won’t stall, we won’t stall)
I’m speakin’ for the people
You gon’ hear us all
[Bridge]
This ain’t a threat
This a balance sheet
(names, dates, numbers)
Every quiet deal
Every backroom seat
(we remember)
You can hide the ink
But you can’t hide the inked-up streets
’Cause we the shareholders
Of everything you eat
[Chorus]
Look ’em in the eye
Tell me who you serve
(Who you serve?) (hey!)
Flag on the lapel
Blood on the curb
(on the curb) (ohhh)
United States Inc
All about the purse
(all about the purse)
I’m here to make you answer
Every line
Every hurt
Hold ’em accountable
(name ’em all, name ’em all)
Hold ’em accountable
(til they fall, til they fall)
Hold ’em accountable
(we won’t stall, we won’t stall)
It’s Granger for the people
You gon’ hear us all
