The game ain’t broken. It’s rigged in your face. Every so often, red meat for the base. Dress up a scandal, repetition stream on live TV. Words are spoken but the bones never picked clean. White lie from white teeth. Meat’s got a pill in it. Everybodys gotta eat. Morally. No bottom. Be sure to drink lots. Catch that dirty water. War worked in the past, so it'll work in the future.. tomorrow’s hot take from the stay the same playbook. Make noise. Sell the drama. Keep the real power players names out yo mouth. Don't disrespect Jaden's bald mother. Please, please. They don’t watch the game, they write the script. Shadowy referees pull the strings. PAWP PAWP! Below the belt hits. Little black book like so yesterday. Today it’s all classified dossiers and Con Yays. Forget the truth. Not for you. There is business to do. Who needs a smoking gun? Huh? They got a fog machine. Media is not journalism. They're a P R department. For feuding crime families in D C marble hallways. Used to be journalists were exposing the truth, smell out the rot before anyone else. Now they’re just mouthpiece dinner invites eating with the suits. Look. They’re supposed to keep the criminals in check. They don’t break news. They cash the narrative in. Oof fam.. Cashing the check. Anonymous sources. Tell. Carefully worded. Bombshells. Often about actual bomb shells. Doesn't matter. Strategic memory loss when all else fails. Who wants to remember or read corrections. Give me vague headlines. Easily digested. The first impression’s the only one that counts. Buy God. Put your words in the mouth. Pod people stuck in the Matrix. Main lining outrage dopamine drip. No need for the truth. Team gotta win. Your villains in black sad. Mine's a hero in a white suit. Never mind that gray in the middle. Population kept in check not with jack boots tear gas and threats. Just with a spicy narrative. And an ice bath cave man to shout it. They’ll fight to protect it harder than they’d ever fight the ones stealing paychecks. End of the day. Gears turning. Names change. Face stays same. Nobody at the top ever pays tab. Game resets. Stage lights go dim Old con is old. New con, for the win. Peel God's face off. Dance around in it.
