[Intro — Rex, spoken over vinyl crackle] Yeah… They said three words could change the game. Drill, baby, drill. But a campaign slogan ain't a price guarantee. Put the policy on the table. Put the money on the ledger. Let the beat breathe. [Verse 1 — Mack] White House orders, January, the energy gears shift, National energy emergency, executive orders get swift. Federal lands, offshore leases, permitting in the frame, “Energy dominance” the banner, domestic output the aim. Paris Agreement withdrawal, wind permits put on pause, Regulations under review, all in the name of changing laws. But a signature ain't a barrel, and a lease ain't production, Oil economics got geology, finance, and infrastructure functions. Refineries need crude grades, pipelines need capacity, Global futures set the benchmark, not a campaign's audacity. OPEC moves supply, wars can make the prices climb, A president can shape the rules but can't command the price every time. That's the difference between a promise and a market in motion, Between a slogan on a podium and a rig out in the ocean. [Hook — Brutus and Rex] Drill, baby, drill — let the record be clear, More access to the acreage, but the market's still here. Drill, baby, drill — who's collecting the gain? Who's paying at the pump when the barrel climbs again? Black gold, big money, politics in the mix, Read the executive orders, read the filings, check the ticks. No rumors in the rhythm, let the documented facts speak, Power writes the policy — the public gets to critique. [Verse 2 — Pip] April twenty-four, Mar-a-Lago, executives at the table, According to published reporting, here's the claim we can label: Trump reportedly asked oil leaders for a billion in support, And pledged to reverse regulations — that's the reported retort. The Washington Post and POLITICO put the meeting in the news, But reported conversations aren't a verdict you can use. Watchdog CREW filed a complaint, called for investigation, A complaint is an allegation, not a court determination. Then Houston, May, another fundraiser in the frame, Reported promises on approvals — the policy requests by name. Pipelines, permits, environmental rules up for revision, Money and access raise questions about democratic supervision. Did a donation buy a decision? Prove the specific chain. Who made the call, what records exist, what benefit, what gain? That's the burden of the evidence; don't confuse it with a hunch, When political power meets industry, investigate the punch. [Hook — Full crew] Drill, baby, drill — let the record be clear, More access to the acreage, but the market's still here. Drill, baby, drill — who's collecting the gain? Who's paying at the pump when the barrel climbs again? [Verse 3 — Brutus] Nine reported oil and gas holdings, portfolio in the light, But ownership alone can't prove a policy was written for private gain overnight. A stock can rise or tumble from events across the sea, And a drilling permit doesn't mean a rig produces immediately. Leases, capital, workers, water, steel, and time, Then transport, refining, distribution — all part of the line. If you wanna trace a conflict, build the timeline with care, Match the disclosures to the decisions, put the documents there. The family filling up the pickup doesn't trade crude futures, The independent trucker watches every diesel bill get steeper. Freight rates lag the fuel costs, margins shrink in the cab, While energy companies weigh their capital against the map. More production can add supply, but prices have more than one cause, Demand, exports, global conflict, and refinery outages shape the laws. So don't sell a simple answer to a complicated nation, Put the facts beside the rhetoric and question the calculation. [Bridge — Pip, low voice] Who signed the order? Who sought the change? Who raised the money? What documents name the exchange? Policy is public. The ledger must be read. Accountability starts with evidence, Not whatever somebody said. [Verse 4 — Rex] The slogan sounds simple, but the system's intricate, Federal rules, private capital, global markets interconnect. A president can open pathways, change the rules of the game, But no executive order guarantees every barrel or price stays the same. When campaign cash meets policy, transparency's the test, Disclose the facts, investigate, let the record do the rest. No fabricated phone calls, no imaginary secret code, Just a paper trail of power and the public's heavy load. [Outro — All voices] Drill, baby, drill. That's the slogan. Read the orders. Check the sources. Follow the money. And remember: A question deserves an answer. An allegation needs evidence. A fact survives the scrutiny. OIL BARON. Track two. West Coast after dark.
