Keem - System of Lies (Lyric Video)

slow tempo, chill, nostalgic, rap, slow

System built like Jenga, ready to fall,
Leaders feeding lies, we swallow them all.
Promises hollow, just words on the breeze,
Power trippin’ maniacs, we beg on our knees.

[Verse 2]
School taught us fairy tales, revisionist history,
Maskin' the truth, ain't no mystery.
Government moves like a puppet in hand,
Strings pulled by greed, can't understand.

[Chorus]
System of lies, painted so bright,
Truth in the shadows, hidden from sight.
Whispers in wind, truth on the run,
They speakin' in riddles 'neath a covered sun.

[Bridge]
Lock us in cages of nine-to-five dreams,
Misled by screens, feeding us schemes.
Pockets get fat while ours stay thin,
Clock keeps ticking, trapped in their sin.

[Verse 3]
Elections like theater, puppets on stage,
Vote for the lesser evil, choose your cage.
Leaders with masks, playing their role,
Savin' their secrets, sellin' their soul.

[Chorus]
System of lies, painted so bright,
Truth in the shadows, hidden from sight.
Whispers in wind, truth on the run,
They speakin' in riddles 'neath a covered sun.
