808s hit like a courthouse door Another vote gone missing from the floor They cut the map up, call it “states’ rights” Whole neighborhoods vanished overnight Look close, power never really leaves Just changes logos, slogans, enemies Now the districts twist like a serpent trail So the people vote but the people fail Redrawn. Recounted. Silenced again. Power only listens when it’s speaking to friends You can paint the map but the cracks still show Truth don’t die just because ratings low Microphones off when the truth gets loud Committee purge with a TV crowd Everybody cheering while the rights collapse Smile for the camera while they weaponize maps You ain’t defending freedom if the people can’t choose That’s power scared to lose
