[Verse 1] I flick the screen on, lean on the wall and watch the information crawl, Man gets stabbed — they haul him off, the perp gets a protocol ball, A dinner call, a curtain fall on justice, now adjusted to the wall, The criminal gets coddled while the victim takes the fall — that's all? Rules rewritten, bitten by the hand that fed the people it was meant to feed, Laws that bleed the citizen but guarantee a different breed can greed, Supersede the need for equal — treason dressed in liberal creed, They planted every weed and now they're shocked it grew from seed. I'm reading fine print, blind tint on every window that they show me, They throw me headlines, coastlines of a narrative they own — The tone is known: protect the guest and leave the native standing lone, Alone to groan at systems built on someone else's bone. [Chorus] Enough is enough, I said enough is enough — Turn open palms to fists 'cause the road's been rough, They been calling the bluff, keep on calling the bluff, But the house of cards is falling and I'm calling their stuff — Enough is enough, yeah enough is enough, We been swallowing dust while they're dining plush, No more hush, no more brush-under-rug, Time to face the flood — enough is enough. [Verse 2] Now flip the channel, flannel wrapped in talking heads and outrage porn, They'll mourn the character they mourned before they even got them born — Reform the screen, the skin, the scene — but only if it hits one horn, Pale face replaced? A celebrated crown and thorns adorned. They race-change faces, places, swap the cast like it's a costume call, But wouldn't dare to cut the other — that's a curtain wall, If you're the right complexion for deletion, best stand tall — 'Cause double standards aren't a glitch, they wrote it in the protocol. The far-left preacher, feature-creep, they push until you crack and snap, They're not happy 'til the right side catches fire off the map — They clap and laugh and wrap it up in progressive gift wrap, Manufactured outrage on a feedback loop they call a fact. [Chorus] Enough is enough, I said enough is enough — Turn open palms to fists 'cause the road's been rough, They been calling the bluff, keep on calling the bluff, But the house of cards is falling and I'm calling their stuff — Enough is enough, yeah enough is enough, We been swallowing dust while they're dining plush, No more hush, no more brush-under-rug, Time to face the flood — enough is enough. [Bridge] (Beat drops to sparse, tense pulse) See I don't care what side you stand on, left or right hand — I care about the man who can't get justice in his own land, The plan's been grand, a sleight of hand, they rule with sleight of hand, They shift the sand beneath your feet and call it higher ground — understand? The modern audience is silent — violence only gets a pass, If it fits the narrative they glass-frame for the working class, They move too fast for us to ask the questions, amass Their power, glass half full of poison — drinking it en masse. [Verse 3] So here we stand, demand what's fair — and yeah I know that sounds cliché, But clichés came from somewhere — and today they earned their pay, The game's been played a certain way — extremes on both ends of the sleigh, Bells ringing for the players while the regular men decay. I say it plain, no masquerade — no shade of grey, I light the stage, These bars aren't just a page of rage — they're every worker's unpaid wage, The sage advice that never came, the age-old pattern every age Keeps spinning, winning only those who authored every page. So turn those hands to fists — not to swing at your own brother — But at the system that's been pitting every sister against every mother, They'd rather have us smothered, rather covered by another, Keep us fighting underground while they eat above the thunder. [Chorus] Enough is enough, I said enough is enough — Turn open palms to fists 'cause the road's been rough, They been calling the bluff, keep on calling the bluff, But the house of cards is falling and I'm calling their stuff — Enough is enough, yeah enough is enough, We been swallowing dust while they're dining plush, No more hush, no more brush-under-rug, Time to face the flood — enough is enough. [Outro] (Beat fades to a single piano note repeating) Blind Justice — Scales been tipped so long, she forgot which way was straight. Blind Justice — And we been waiting at the gate while they debate our fate. ...enough.
