[Intro]
They put that badge on like a halo, but the halo’s made of rust
Every time they roll through, I taste their lies and dust
I been carrying anger for the ones that never got to breathe
This is for the mothers, for the kids, for every stolen dream

[Verse 1]
Hey, you in uniform — you smile for the camera light
But behind those lenses, we count the names that vanished in the night
Pull me over, search my pride, call survival "guilt" and crime
Never held ’em to the ledger while they pocket city time
You patrol neighborhoods like kingdoms you will never own
You break the doors and leave the hearts cold as stone
My uncle cried for justice — they wrote his name on a list
We don't need your hollow prayers — we need the system fixed

[Pre-Chorus]
We seen the footage, we read the lies, we hold the scars you made
It ain’t about revenge — it’s about the bills that must be paid

[Chorus]
Corrupt system, corrupt badge — we see through your disguise
You built walls with soft mouths, but we hear our people cry
We demand the truth, we demand the names, we want the guilty tried
You can’t drown the truth, though you try — we’re comin’ alive

[Verse 2]
They teach the kids to fear the midnight sound of boots on streets
They teach the kids to duck and hide their hope where hunger eats
We lost friends on corners, lost futures in the rain
They chalk the block and drive away — never feel a thing
Every protest, every chant — is a demand, not a plea
We want checks, we want cameras, we want the loss to see
Lock the vaults of the cover-ups, let accountability ring
If you swore to serve the people — show the people you mean it

[Pre-Chorus]
You can gas the crowd, you can tear the signs down cold and mean
But you can’t erase the memory of the souls we’ve seen

[Chorus]
Corrupt system, corrupt badge — we see through your disguise
You built walls with soft mouths, but we hear our people cry
We demand the truth, we demand the names, we want the guilty tried
You can’t drown the truth, though you try — we’re comin’ alive

[Bridge]
Mama’s voice on the phone — “boy, don’t walk alone at night”
Daddy’s shadow missing from the dinner table light
I carry every promise that the city stole away
This ain’t about vengeance — it’s about livin’ another day
We’ll write the names on banners, light candles for the lost
We’ll speak until the courts move — count up every cost
Justice ain’t a slogan — it’s the healing of a town
Put the badge on truth — or we take the badge right down

[Chorus]
Corrupt system, corrupt badge — we see through your disguise
You built walls with soft mouths, but we hear our people cry
We demand the truth, we demand the names, we want the guilty tried
You can’t drown the truth, though you try — we’re comin’ alive

[Outro]
We’re tired of funerals and hashtags and polite goodbyes
We’re tired of being lessons in the papers while your sons still lie
So hear our march in every city, feel the tremor in the ground
We’re takin’ back our streets, we’re takin’ back our sound
No threats — just the power of a people who will not be erased
Corrupt system, corrupt badge — now watch the truth replace
