Fake Promises

Yeah, they talk but don't listen

All lies, no vision, uh

Suits and ties with empty words, yeah

Make promises that we never heard, skrrt

Campaign season, they smile and wave

Then disappear when we need them saved

Pockets fat while the people starve

Private jets while we riding hard

They build walls but won't build schools

Playing chess with us like we the fools, no cap

Every four years same old song

They right the wrongs but the wrongs stay strong

Billboards up with their perfect face

But the streets still broke, still the same old place

Fake government, fake promises too

They don't care about me, don't care about you

All that talk just to get your vote

Then they ghost, man, that's all she wrote

Fake government, fake promises too

They don't care about me, don't care about you, yeah

Behind closed doors making dirty deals

While we out here struggling for meals, let's go

They print money but we stay poor

They got mansions, we got landlords at the door

Tax the workers, let the rich slide

Justice system got us terrified

They divide us so we fight each other

While they laugh counting rubber bands, sheesh

Wake up people, see the game they play

They want control, want us to obey

But we rising up, we see the truth

This generation ain't the same as you, gang

Fake government, fake promises too

They don't care about me, don't care about you

All that talk just to get your vote

Then they ghost, man, that's all she wrote

Fake government, fake promises too

They don't care about me, don't care about you

We see through the lies now, yeah

Fake promises, it's lit
