Intro
808 tide, waves of lies— Everybody got truth on the timeline, right? Click, scroll, rage, repeat— Welcome to the Sea of Opinion.
Verse 1
Democracy got a fever, everybody claim they healer, Talk loud, vote proud, tweet crowns on believers. Populist prophets with polls as their scriptures, We trade wisdom for trends, captions for pictures. Majority rule, but who rule the mind? Algorithm kings with the clickbait shrine. Echo chambers sound like gospel choirs, But no one’s puttin’ out the fires.
Pre-chorus
They say we the voice of the people, But who’s holdin’ the mic tonight? Democracy ain’t a weapon to reload, It’s a mirror that shows our fight.
Chorus
We drown in the Sea of Opinion, Truth driftin’, facts missin’, no dominion. Every wave another contradiction, Who’s sailin’ straight in this fiction? (Sea of opinion—everybody swimmin’) (Sea of opinion—no one’s really winnin’)
Verse 2
Checks and balances turn to likes and challenges, Filibusterin’ hearts, yeah, love needs management. Left, right, mid—who’s really legit? Freedom ain’t a vibe, it’s a maintenance kit. Every four years we repaint the ship, Same storm, new lip service drip. Republic, democracy—blur in the mist, Founders said balance, not a viral twist.
Chorus
We drown in the Sea of Opinion, Truth driftin’, facts missin’, no dominion. Every wave another contradiction, Who’s sailin’ straight in this fiction? (Sea of opinion—everybody swimmin’) (Sea of opinion—no one’s really winnin’)
Bridge
Constitution steady like a battleship, Heavy metal anchor in a tidal grip. Can’t turn quick, can’t chase the trend, Built to outlast the storm, not bend. Freedom ain’t fast, it’s forged and earned, While the hot takes crash and burn.
Chorus
We drown in the Sea of Opinion, Scrollin’ storms, no definition. Who’s the captain? Who’s the villain? Same flag flyin’ while we still swimmin’. (Sea of opinion—wake up, we’re driftin’) (Sea of opinion—truth’s still missin’)
Outro
Yeah, we talk about freedom like a fashion line, But liberty don’t trend, it stands the test of time. This is the sea—don’t drown, just steer. Democracy ain’t gone—it’s just hard to hear.

808 tide, waves of lies— Everybody got truth on the timeline, right?
They say we the voice of the people, But who’s holdin’ the mic tonight?
Yeah, we talk about freedom like a fashion line, But liberty don’t trend, it stands the test of time.
