Protected by Names

Описание: [Verse 1]
They wear clean suits over dirty hands,
Shake the right palms, break the right man.
If you’re born inside the gated lines,
Justice bends, learns how to compromise.

Blood on the floor, wine on the breath,
Camera rolls—but silence wins.
Truth gets priced, truth gets stalled,
Truth gets buried in a legal wall.

Same old story, polished lie,
Power looks away, calls it “time gone by.”
If your name rings loud in the upper rooms,
The law goes soft. The cell stays empty.

[Chorus]
Protected by names.
Protected by bloodlines.
Protected by silence.
Protected by time.

No chains for the crowned.
No weight for the shielded.

We carry the dead
while the guilty get lifted.

[Verse 2]
Say it was “youth,” say “mistakes were made,”
Say “boys will be boys,” let the record fade.
But the ground remembers what the mouths deny,
And dirt doesn’t care how rich you were inside.

You punish the voice that points and shows,
Fine the truth, let the killers go.
Flip the scales, dress it up as law,
Call it order. Call it flaw.

You teach a lesson, just not the right one:
That power protects its favorite sons.
That justice kneels when status speaks,
And the weak pay double for being weak.

[Chorus]
Protected by names.
Protected by bloodlines.
Protected by silence.
Protected by time.

No chains for the crowned.
No weight for the shielded.

We carry the dead
while the guilty get lifted.

[Bridge]
You don’t need innocence
when you have connections.
You don’t need truth
when the system forgets.

[Final Chorus]
Protected by names.
Protected by bloodlines.
Protected by silence.
Protected by time.

But memory stays.
And dirt keeps score.
You can dodge the cell—
not the weight you wore.

[Outro]
Gold fades.
Names rot.
Truth waits longer
than power can.
