Don't chain me down【👁️👃🏻👁️】

husky female voice, memphis phonk, chopped and screwed, vintage memphis rap sample, gypsy

They say "order," but they mean "obey"
Say "progress," but the checks delayed
Student debt like a ball and chain
Work three jobs, still countin change
Preach "law," but they dodge indictment
You get locked for a dime-sized fragment
They fund wars, then they fund the flag
But your hometown tap still spits out trash

[Chorus]
Mic checkpoint, this my border line
You draw maps, but I redraw minds
You buy truth, I can't be assigned
I won't fit in your headline design
Mic checkpoint, pockets search for lies
Every slogan get scanned on sight
You want quiet? Better close my side
Cuz we vote with the volume high (yeah)

[Verse 2]
Supreme robes with the lifetime seat
But a temp job guard kicks kids on the street
"Meritocracy"—man, that’s myth on a mug
Boss’s son got the corner office plug
News desk dressed in the sponsor’s logo
Ask soft questions, keep it semi-vocal
They love riots when it’s overseas
But your walkout here is "security risk, please"

Immigrant hands built half this block
But a new law talks like they stole your job
Tax breaks rain in a CEO’s yacht
Meanwhile mom choosing which bill gets dropped
They clap back when the youth ask "why?"
Cuz a sharp young mind is a real land mine
You can ban books, you can black out screens
Still the truth leaks out in the bars and zines

[Bridge]
Who profits if we never read the fine print? (who?)
Who benefits when we beef, not build?
If every neighbor is an enemy image
They can rob the whole block while we sit still

[Verse 1] Campaign smile on a pamphlet page Same old script, just a subtler cage They shake hands, then they sanitize Sell you hope, then privatize Polling place with the broken ramp Grandma waits in a parking lot camp "Budget cuts," but the cops got tanks Whole school roof still drippin in the rain They say "order," but they mean "obey" Say "progress," but the checks delayed Student debt like a ball and chain Work three jobs, still countin change Preach "law," but they dodge indictment You get locked for a dime-sized fragment They fund wars, then they fund the flag But your hometown tap still spits out trash [Chorus] Mic checkpoint, this my border line You draw maps, but I redraw minds You buy truth, I can't be assigned I won't fit in your headline design Mic checkpoint, pockets search for lies Every slogan get scanned on sight You want quiet?
