they be lyin'

Yeah, they promise us the sky, but we livin’ in the gutter

Talkin’ change, but their pockets gettin’ fatter

Makin’ speeches in the suit, tellin’ tales in the tie

Got their fingers crossed behind 'em every time they testify

They say, “Trust me,” but I’m seein’ through the bluffin’

Lip service legends, got degrees in corruption

Talkin big game but they hollow in the middle

Like a riddle with no answer, playin’ us like a fiddle

They shake hands, they fake grins, they break plans, they take wins

They snake fans, they paint sins, they rake in, they play kings

We the pawns in the system, they be stackin’ up the bread

While they tell us that we tweakin’ when we tryna get ahead

Lyin’ politicians, talkin’ in sedition

They be shiftin’ all the figures, while they plottin’ in position

Every word a contradiction, every promise just a fiction

They be lyin all day, man, it’s like their fuckin addiction

They be sayin’ that they workin’, but the workers gettin’ hurt

While they privatizin’ everything, the people gettin’ burned

They be taxin’ all the wages while they chillin’ overseas

Sippin’ cocktails on a yacht, tellin’ us to plant some trees

They campaign with slogans, fuck with hope and emotion

Then they vanish with the votes thinkin we don get the notion

Makin’ deals behind the curtain while they smilin’ for the press

Then they tell us all to tighten up, but never feel the stress

They shake hands, they fake grins, they break plans, they take wins

They snake fans, they paint sins, they rake in, they play kings

We the pawns in the system, they be stackin’ up the bread

While they tell us that we tweakin’ when we tryna get ahead

Lyin’ politicians, talkin’ in sedition

They be shiftin’ all the figures, while they plottin’ in position

Every word a contradiction, every promise just a fiction

They be lyin all day, man, it’s like their fuckin addiction

It's the same old script, just a different set of actors

Turn a scandal to a joke, then they laughin' like it matters

They be spendin’ all our money, puttin’ tax into the slush

While we fightin’ for the scraps, they be tellin’ us, “Hush”

Yeah, I see ‘em, I hear ‘em, I read between the lines

Every headline that they sellin’ just a cover for the crime

But the people, we risin’, we wised up, we climbin’

we be comin’, time’s up No more hidin’ in the dark,
