T.A. Yanix - T.A. Gang (СM The Producer Prod.)

"Whatever It Takes" is a narrative concept album based on the true story of the 2019 eBay cyberstalking scandal - when a Fortune 500 company's security team launched a coordinated terror campaign against two bloggers who wrote critical coverage.

Ina and David Steiner ran EcommerceBytes, a small newsletter covering e-commerce from their home in Natick, Massachusetts. When Ina wrote about CEO Devin Wenig's compensation, he texted his Chief Communications Officer Steve Wymer: "If we are ever going to take her down..now is the time."

Wymer's responses became evidence:

> We are going to crush this lady
> She is biased troll who needs to get BURNED DOWN
> I want to see ashes. As long as it takes. Whatever it takes.

What followed was a "campaign of terror" - seven eBay security employees (including former police captains) sent bloody pig masks, a preserved fetal pig, live cockroaches and spiders, a funeral wreath, a book about surviving the death of a spouse, and porn magazines to the couple. They posted Craigslist ads inviting strangers to the Steiners' home. They flew from California to Boston to stalk their car and planned to break into their garage to plant a GPS tracker. They carried fake "Person of Interest" documents. One even pretended to rescue them - the "White Knight Strategy."

David photographed a license plate. The FBI got involved. All seven employees were convicted.

But the executives who gave the orders? The CEO walked away with $57 million in severance. Never charged.

This is a story about corporate power, surveillance turned against citizens, and the two-tier justice system.

[Verse]

Tunnel vision sharper than a blade from a butcher

Carve rhymes in the dark where the rats outmaneuver

Steel wheels screech, that metallic hallelujah

Concrete symphony, bassline sewer



Graffiti hieroglyphs on the temple of the train

Spray cans preach sermons, acid in the rain

Broken turnstiles hum a metallic refrain

Currency of struggle etched in every vein



[Chorus]

Down in the subway, echoes don't lie

Rhythms of the rails, beatbox the sky

No sunlight, but the bars still fly

Subway cipher, where the soul won't die



[Verse 2]

Tracks hum a hymn, ancient gospel of the grind

Carriages of chaos, passengers confined

Backpacks hold dreams, but the zippers unwind

Tunnels hold secrets, past the edge of time



Rats on patrol, architects of decay

Late-night hustlers trade time for the pay

Broken escalators, uphill every day

Life's a crooked train, but it still finds a way



[Bridge]

Chopped voices echo, ghosts in the loop

Keys strike minor chords, dark as the truth

Fingers drum on the rail, rhythm uncouth

Bars sharper than a switchblade in the booth

Subway Cipher
