Default Gone (The Deregulation Rap)

+ Show full styles

[Verse 1 – The Rap Teacher]
Let me break it down like a lesson in class,
Deregulation’s just a high-level mask.
Trickle-down dreams? They ain't what they seem,
The money flows up, and the risk hits we.

They call rules a burden, say it's red tape,
But those “burdens” keep your food and meds safe.
Default gone? That’s their new song,
No rules by default, what could go wrong?

Trump and his crew got that rule-smashing fever,
Backin' up the bosses, not the everyday believer.
They don’t want gov off your back, nah fam—
They just want a free pass for their own scam.

[Hook – Funky Bass + Chorus]
Default gone, but the risk rolls in,
Fat stacks rise while the rest can’t win.
They slash, they cut, they say “it’s fair,”
But justice don’t live in a billionaire’s lair.

Regulations = shields we need,
From poisoned air and corporate greed.
So when they cry “free the market, son!”
Ask 'em who it’s free for when the harm gets done.

[Verse 2 – Real Talk Segment]
See the CFPB? It had our backs,
Stopped the scammers from setting up traps.
But Trump and DOGE hit it with a hack,
Pulled the teeth out, let the wolves attack.

No more fines for the overdraft fees,
You’re broke, they charge—like sharks in the seas.
And don’t forget Musk and the fossil kings,
Making cash while the planet screams.

Wind and solar were winning the race,
Now dirty fuel’s back in first place.
Pollution unrolled like a toxic tide,
While clean energy dreams get pushed aside.

[Hook – Bigger, Louder, Braver]
Default gone, yeah they pulled the plug,
Big biz smiled while the rest got mugged.
They gut the rules that kept us strong,
And play dumb when it all goes wrong.

They fire the folks who guard our sky,
Our meds, our water—say “goodbye!”
They call it “freedom,” we call it fraud,
‘Cause you can’t hug profits when the Earth is scorched.

[Bridge – Slow It Down, Get Wise]
They flipped the board, and fired the crew,
The people who protect me and you.
No more checks, no more guards,
Just lapdogs shreddin’ the safety cards.

You might not feel it, not today—
But wait ‘til the air gets too thick to play.
Or the next crash, or disease wave,
Then you’ll miss the rules that were meant to save.

[Final Hook – Chant + Call to Action]
D-E-R-E-G, the scam they try to sell to me.
G-U-T the oversight, while we get left out in the night.
Trickle-down don’t trickle up,
They fill their pool, we get a cup.

Be loud, be clear, be brave, be strong,
‘Cause the fight for fairness is life-long.
So when they say “less rules, more gain,”
Tell 'em: Dereg ain't freedom—it's pain.

[Outro – Class Bell Rings]
“Class dismissed. But stay woke. Stay loud.”
“Not default there...?”
“DEFAULT GONE!”
