In the shadows of skyscrapers, they scheme We're the pawns in their game, caught in their dream They pull the strings, we dance to their tune While they sip champagne, we're stuck on the Moon They fund the schools, but control the books History rewritten, truth overlooked They preach meritocracy, but it's all a façade Their privilege intact, while we struggle and fade The puppeteer's strings, they tighten and twist Keeping us ignorant, minds in a mist They feed us distractions, illusions so grand While they hoard the wealth, leaving us in quicksand Media moguls spin webs of deceit Distorting reality, making truth obsolete They own the airwaves, the screens we adore Their narratives shape us, our minds they explore They divide us by race, religion, and creed While they dine in opulence, we fight and bleed They whisper in politicians' ears, unseen Their interests protected, our hopes turn lean They tighten and twist Keeping us ignorant, minds in a mist They feed us distractions, illusions so grand While they hoard the wealth, leaving us in quicksand But listen closely, my brothers and sisters We're not mere marionettes, we're resilient resistors Education is our weapon, knowledge our might We'll break free from their strings, reclaim our light They fear an awakened populace So they suppress our voices, our truth they dismiss But we'll rise from the ashes, ignite the flame Expose their machinations, reclaim our name The puppeteer's strings, we'll unravel and shred Empower the masses, awaken the dead No longer blindfolded, we'll see through their game For justice and equity, we'll rise and reclaim The puppeteer's strings, we'll unravel and shred Empower the masses, awaken the dead No longer blindfolded, we'll see through their game For justice and equity, we'll rise and reclaim So let the rap of rebellion echo far and wide The wealthy may pull strings, but we won't be denied Together we'll break free, rewrite the score The puppeteer's grip weakening forevermore
