Lyrics

Long train of abuses, they said it back then
Kings getting greedy, forgetting the men
Taxation without heart, doors kicked in at night
Now the forms are digital, but the grip still tight
Unelected powers playing god with our days
Printing money like it's paper, inflating the pain away
Borders wide open while the middle class fades
Founders warned us 'bout this, put it in the page
They pledged their lives, their fortunes, sacred honor
What would they sign today if they saw the dishonor?
This is Declaration 2.5
We the people still alive, still willing to try
Life, liberty, pursuit—don't let 'em redefine,
we rewriting the line
(Declaration… 2.5… yeah…)
Ain't backing down, we standing on the right.
Consent of the governed turning into consent by app
Quiet little mandates making free men clap
Schools teaching division instead of the dream
Erasing the giants who built the machine
I've been banned five times just for exposing the truth
But the voice in my chest got the spirit of '76 in my youth
From porches in Brevard to the heartland fields
Real Americans waking up, refusing to yield
They bet it all once, under thunder and rain
We got the same fire running through our veins
This is Declaration 2.5
We the people still alive, still willing to try
Life, liberty, pursuit—don't let 'em redefine
we rewriting the line
When the fireworks fade and the parties are done
The real work starts with the daughters and sons
Hold the line, speak the truth, love this land
Not because it's perfect — because it still can…
Declaration 2.5… (we still here)
Ain't no king in these streets, ain't no fear
We the people, we the blood, we the bone
… and we still going strong
We hold these truths… still hold these truths…
