Cipher XTR - Corporate Lace Lyrics

[Intro]
Echoes of my father's sax, buried in the mix
While suits count stacks, they sanitize their tricks

[Verse 1]
Corporate vultures circling overhead
Promise "diversity" but souls are left for dead
My old man played jazz with heart and soul
While execs made bank and took control
Now they rock BLM pins on custom suits
Same ones who cut his pay and gave him the boot
Empty statements, hollow gestures, PR stunts
Marketing oppression while they count their funds

[Chorus]
They package rebellion, sell it back to us
Turn struggle into merch, man, that's what they discuss
In boardrooms full of sharks with fake-ass smiles
Counting dollar signs behind their "woke" profiles

[Verse 2]
Remember pops playing late into the night
While some dickhead suit said "numbers ain't right"
Now they sample his soul for their commercials
Same story different devils, shit's rehearsed, y'all
They draft statements with their focus groups
About "standing together" - man, these corporate troops
Got algorithms targeting the youth
Selling revolution back, disguising truth

[Bridge]
Watch them appropriate the message
Turn resistance into leverage
Digital age plantation masters
Moving faster, pushing plastics

[Verse 3]
Every hashtag movement gets commodified
Every protest turned to profit, ain't that nice?
My father's music echoes through time
Now they use it to sell their corporate line
But I see through their game like crystal glass
These suits can kiss my disillusioned ass
'Cause real change don't come from PR teams
Or focus-grouped, sanitized dreams

[Outro]
Let the jazz play raw and true
Like my father used to do
Before they branded revolution
And called it evolution
