[Chorus] When they show you who they are, believe them Rules change fast when their own side needs them Watch what they do, not the podium speeches When they show you who they are—believe them [Verse 1] Cut polling spots, call it administration Longer road, longer line, another complication Change where you vote, confusion at the station Then preach participation while reducing locations Roll checks running, databases wide Citizen gets flagged, now prove you qualify One bad match and your rights get tied Call it integrity while access gets denied Mail vote evil till their own side needs it Fraud yesterday, today they say complete it Same ballot, same envelope, same procedure Only thing changed was who needed the feature I don't need motives, I can read the record Same mouth, new message, same man, same method If the rules only work when the outcome feels right That ain't trust in elections—that's power in sight [Chorus] When they show you who they are, believe them Rules change fast when their own side needs them Watch what they do, not the podium speeches When they show you who they are—believe them [Verse 2 - Faster] CISA losing bodies while cyber threats grow Foreign Influence Task Force—gone Election Commission with empty chairs Then federal monitors showing up everywhere Roll checks broader, safeguards thinner More centralized power, fewer independent filters One board emptied, one watchdog gone Piece by piece while the flag stays on Power don't always kick in the door Sometimes it changes the locks and calls it reform Paperwork, databases, orders signed Friction by design still looks legal on paper Who gets the keys when the referees leave? Who sets the rules when nobody can see? That's the question underneath the speech When they show you who they are—believe [Bridge - Spoken] “No fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos No wimps, no radicals—just warriors” Not leaked Not whispered Not somebody's theory Mic was on Room was full Message came clearly Then the eagle That stage That “Department of War” Debate what it means But remember what you saw [Verse 3 - Double Time] Christian nation, military framing Cross in the language, government naming Faith gets closer to institutional power Tell me where church ends and state starts now History ain't copy, history rhymes Different uniforms, different times I don't need identical symbols and signs I watch how exclusion gets normalized in minds Press called traitor, dissent called threat Minorities framed like national risk Loyalty first, institutions bent Every new line gets called precedent Tyranny rarely screams out its name It changes the language, then changes the frame Changes the referee, then changes the game Then swears the rules were always the same [Chorus - Bigger] When they show you who they are, believe them Rules change fast when their own side needs them Watch what they do, not the podium speeches When they show you who they are—believe them [Breakdown] Red vote—count it Blue vote—count it Independent—count it Mail vote lawful—count it Early vote—count it Election Day—count it The people choose government Not the administration [Final Verse - Fastest] AI make the archives collide Speech next to policy, timeline beside Court file, order, document, date Now one person can compare what they say Machine can hallucinate—verify the claim Source, date, document, person and name Receipts matter more than political flame Evidence don't care who wins the game Too many transcripts, too many trails Too many orders, too many details No secret room, no mystical clique Power leaves paperwork every time that it shifts Pandora cracked and the archive got teeth Can't own every copy once knowledge gets free Own the servers, own the feeds Still can't unsay what the public record reads Line up the closures Line up the rolls Line up the watchdogs Line up the polls Line up the speeches Line up the scars When they show you who they are— [Final Chorus] Believe them When they show you who they are, believe them When the warning signs repeat, believe them When the record contradicts them, retrieve it When they show you who they are— Believe them
