Money talks when voices can’t
Dirty money is a rich man’s game
Money talks when voices can’t
Money speaks where blood runs thin,
buys the lies, sells out the skin.
Silence falls, but cash won’t wait,
greasing locks on mercy’s gate.
It cuts the throat, it feeds the flame,
names the nameless, shifts the blame.
While broken mouths stay stitched and torn,
money laughs in courts of scorn.
It pays for silence, pays for pain,
turns the hungry into gain.
The poor stay crushed beneath its feet,
while tyrants dine and call it sweet.
No prayer breaks its iron hold,
no truth escapes the grip of gold.
When voices crack and justice sleeps,
money counts what silence keeps.

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?
