KYWN – State of the Union Lyrics

State of the Union – KYWN Lyrics

KYWN, you make tunes, right?

Never was the type to get in fights

That's why I grabbed the mic

I knew I had a way with words

And so, I started writing lines

Used the pen to heal the pain

And clear the thoughts inside my mind

Now, it helps me regulate whenever I'm not feeling fine

Which, nowadays, is most the time

Check the news, it's horrifying

Nothing new, the difference now is we know everybody lying

Governmеnt is saying this, corporations saying that

Paying taxes just for war, Uncle Sam, I need it back

Don't you try to hide your tracks

It's pointlеss 'cause we know the facts

Little kids in body bags

Tell me how you stomach that

Dropping more excuses than artists releasing music

Call 'em out, and they deflect, gaslight, or flat out refuse it

Escalating situations that they oughta be defusing

If they knew where I recorded this, they'd prolly go and nuke it

I ain't stupid, but the commander-in-chief?

That's a different story, who knows if that crook even thinks

Bombing countries left and right, but claim you're bringing the peace

I hear way more coherent statements from my five-year-old niece

You're a puppet, but you believe you're pulling the strings

Why you think the masses in the streets, screaming, "No kings!"

Just a wannabe dictator

America's biggest hater

Grifting everybody while claiming to be they lord and savior

Man, that's blasphemy

But you do it so casually

You say you're all about "good Christian" values, but you actually

As far as it gets, truly, the antithesis

I'm sending thoughts and prayers, hoping that yo' cult gets a grip

'Cause they been lost in the sauce

Not realizing the true cost

Or acknowledging the chaos and the harm that you've caused

"We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated! I love the poorly educated!"

Oh, there's no debating

Country's in urgent need of some major changes

And even saying that is, honestly, an understatement

You've been putting kids in cages

Shipping people off to places

They ain't ever lived in life, but still deny that you're a racist

Saying I.C.E. agents are heroes, all they do is hide they faces

Murder innocent civilians with no fear of catching cases

Are we great again?

I mean, let's be real, you never stated when the first time was

Pretty interesting, I got a hunch that might line up

But I wanna hear you confess to that and the crimes you've done

And it's a mighty long list

Trust me, we ain't gon' forget

To see you rotting in a cell, that's my number one wish

The fact your back in office proves the system cannot be fixed

It's time we tear it down and leave it somewhere deep in a ditch, done

People over profits, man

All power to the people
