[Intro

(Low, foreboding bass rumble with sparse percussion)

Too many times we seen the crooked rise

While the righteous pay the price

Time to set things straight…

[Verse 1

I’ve watched power twist the truth, watched wolves in disguise

Runnin’ schemes on the block, feedin’ folks empty lies

They stack chips on injustice, no regard for the cost

While the everyday people keep on takin’ the loss

But we ain’t pawns on a board, we can stand for what’s real

Push back on the hustle if it’s breakin’ the deal

Justice ain’t just a dream, it’s a call we gotta heed

No matter where you come from, we all share that need

[Chorus

Balance the scales—let the truth weigh in

We don’t play for corruption, we ain’t lettin’ ’em win

We shine a light in the dark, call out that greed

Stand for the code, plant the righteous seed

(Repeat)

[Verse 2

Got homies locked down for a petty offense

While suits walk free from crimes far more immense

If that ain’t broken, I don’t know what is

But we gotta fight back, that’s where justice lives

We can’t wait on the system that forgets our names

Gotta rally in the streets, keep fueling the flames

A fair shot for everybody—that’s the line that we hold

So the next generation ain’t left out in the cold

[Bridge / Spoken Word

(Beat drops to a minimal pattern)

People want justice but fear its cost

Silence in the face of wrong—our voices get lost

We demand a level field, not a crooked design

Let the truth cut through, that’s how real ones align

(Beat returns, heavier)

[Chorus

Balance the scales—let the truth weigh in

We don’t play for corruption, we ain’t lettin’ ’em win

We shine a light in the dark, call out that greed

Stand for the code, plant the righteous seed

(Repeat Chorus)

[Outro

(Beat fades slowly, letting a grim, resolute vibe linger)

No change comes easy; we carve it out day by day

Justice might be slow, but we make it find a way

Balance the scales—

’Cause if we don’t, who will?
