G-funk lullaby, flag on the dash (yeah) Smile for the camera, hide the crash (uh-huh) God in the caption, fear in the plan (listen) You don’t serve the land… you serve the man Rule one: make ā€œusā€ your one true church, every other nation just background merch. Why learn their language? Nah, you too ā€œblessed,ā€ the whole world should talk like your chest. Pride on a pedestal, ego in a tux, calling it ā€œheritageā€ while it’s fear in the guts. Rule two: keep a stranger in the crosshair, so every problem got a face right there. Don’t say ā€œexchange,ā€ say ā€œinfection,ā€ don’t say ā€œwelcome,ā€ say ā€œinspection.ā€ You at the border with a microscope, tense: ā€œThis grain of sand got an accent—eject it.ā€ (ha!) Rule three: history like wet paint—rewrite, refresh, facts get deleted when they don’t look ā€œbest.ā€ You erase defeats, you remix the past, sell legends cheap and loud and fast. Truth gets tagged ā€œfake,ā€ tossed in the trunk, while your myth gets a mural and a marching drum. (boom) Everybody say ā€œWEā€ (WE!) Now say ā€œMEā€ (ME!) Now say ā€œWEā€ (WE!) Now watch it turn to ā€œMEā€ (ME!) That’s the trick. Wave it high, keep it simple (simple) Less facts, more symbols (symbols) Love gets loud, logic gets ran (ran) Country on your lips… leader in your hands Wave it high, keep it simple (simple) Less facts, more symbols (symbols) Love gets loud, logic gets ran (ran) Country on your lips… leader in your hands Country on your lips… leader in your hands Rule four: obedience—your daily bread, doubt is ā€œtreason,ā€ critique stays dead. You want a nation of yes-men on loop, sell chains as ā€œstrength,ā€ call fear ā€œtruth.ā€ ā€œBoss, what if we wrong?ā€ — you grin, play sweet: ā€œWrong ain’t a word here… only ā€˜loyalty.ā€™ā€ (uh) Rule five: divide the block, then call it ā€œpeace,ā€ neighbors in beef while your power increase. Run little contests: ā€œMost patriotic tonight!ā€ Prize: a handshake and a tax break in the spotlight. United crowds scare thrones made of foam, so you invent a monster… then claim you’re ā€œhome.ā€ Rename, blame, frame, tame—same game, new suit, sell a villain, buy applause, keep the truth on mute. If it’s broke, don’t fix—pose. If it’s facts, dismiss—jokes. If it’s complex, compress. If they think, call cops. (hey!) Rule six: confuse love with arrogance—easy flip, patriotism as cosplay, ignorance as drip. ā€œOur anthem the best!ā€ ā€œOur flag the prettiest!ā€ Even the map like ā€œbroā€¦ā€ but you steady with it. You brag so hard the truth needs earplugs, then you call that noise ā€œvaluesā€ and sell it as hugs. You don’t serve the land… you serve the man Amen… amen… Amen for who? Amen Rule seven: turn faith into a brand deal, cross on the chain, flag on the steering wheel. Swap prayers for pledges, worship for a meeting, God in the background while your ego does the greeting. Rule eight: nothing’s your fault—ever, not once, every crisis a plot, every fact a front. Hunger? ā€œJealous neighbors.ā€ Chaos? ā€œmedia tricks.ā€ Need aliens too? Toss ’em in—makes it stick. When it’s burning, you don’t heal the pain, you slap a flag on the ashes and call it ā€œcampaign.ā€ Rule nine: keep ’em uninformed—that’s control, smart minds ask ā€œwhy,ā€ so you cut the whole pole. Burn books, close schools, fear the curious kid, teach chants, not thoughts—keep the truth hid. Rule ten: you swear you forever on a pedestal tall, but it’s sand underneath and the tide wants it all. You pose for statues while the base starts to crack, then the crowd starts laughing when you fall off the stack. History clears its throat like: ā€œNot againā€¦ā€ Smile for the camera… hide the crash… Wave it high Country on your lips… Country on your lips… leader in your hands Smile for the camera… hide the crash… Wave it high Country on your lips… Country on your lips… leader in your hands Leader in your hands.
