Ground Zero

Verse 1)
New York City used to be the place to be,
Concrete jungle where dreams were free,
But now it’s ground zero for the elites,
Trading souls for silver streets.
They hit us first in two-thousand-one,
An inside job and the damage done,
Then came the crash in two-double-oh-eight,
Economic warfare sealed our fate.

(Chorus)
Ground zero for the elites,
They create chaos then rule the streets,
While we’re just trying to make ends meet,
Paying tax on our defeat.
It’s basic economics, can’t you see?
The more they own, the less we’re free,
Ground zero for the elites,
They build their towers on our dreams.

(Verse 2)
Two-thousand-twenty, the lockdowns came,
Fake pandemic, same old game,
Now they’re running puppets in twenty-twenty-five,
Soros pulls the strings to keep ’em alive.
Mamdani reads the teleprompter lines,
Cuomo smiles like it’s all just fine,
Come on New York, open your eyes,
He’s the governor that ruined your lives.

(Chorus)
Ground zero for the elites,
They create chaos then rule the streets,
While we’re just trying to make ends meet,
Paying tax on our defeat.
It’s basic economics, can’t you see?
The more they own, the less we’re free,
Ground zero for the elites,
They build their towers on our dreams.

(Bridge)
Democracy rigged in a fake election,
Selections passed off as voter correction,
What if nobody showed up to vote?
Zeros across the board, let freedom float.
They’re afraid of collective consciousness,
People working for a vision bliss,
But that vision won’t come from your television,
Turn it off and see the real mission.

(Final Chorus)
Ground zero for the elites,
They burn it down then call it peace,
But we can rise from beneath their feet,
With truth and love and unity.
It’s basic economics, can’t you see?
The more they own, the less we’re free,
Ground zero for the elites—
But the spirit of New York still beats in me.
