Text
[Intro – Soft, spoken/sung]
Mmm… life’s a stage, we play our part,
Some hold the power, some break apart.
The poor are pawns… the rich pull strings,
We lose it all, while they wear the rings.
[Hook – Soulful melody]
Toy of the rich, we stumble, they rise,
They pull the strings, they cover the lies.
Toy of the rich, our hope slowly dies,
Our voices fade, while their empire flies.
[Verse 1 – Smooth flow]
Empty plates and weary hands,
We dream of peace, they draw up plans.
Our sweat turns gold in another man’s jar,
We stay in the shadows, they shine like stars.
[Hook – Repeat, stronger harmony]
Toy of the rich, we stumble, they rise,
They pull the strings, they cover the lies.
Toy of the rich, our hope slowly dies,
Our voices fade, while their empire flies.
[Verse 2 – More emotion]
Sweet words on screens, but truth decays,
Promises crumble and drift away.
We chase the bread, they own the feast,
We beg for mercy, they play the beast.
[Bridge – Soft, spoken/sung]
They play with our hunger…
They play with our lives…
But dignity, brother…
That never dies.
[Hook – Final, gospel harmony]
Toy of the rich, we stumble, they rise,
They pull the strings, they cover the lies.
Toy of the rich, our hope slowly dies,
Our voices fade, while their empire flies.
[Outro – Whisper, fading]
One day the board will break…
The pawns will rise…
And the game…
is over.
