Torn to Pieces
Kendrick Lamar

****[Verse 1]****
Yo, Biden, I'ma split truths and no denying
Cap'n sold his ship, but never did the real decrying
Ridin' with your deals, all your promises barren
Spinnin' facts like a wheel, but people's lives left wearin'
You the puppet, strings pulled by the hidden wealth
Behind that smile, lies masked in covert stealth
Speech slurred, thoughts stutter, while the nation falters
Got 'em chantin' change, but you're just new paint on the altars
Uncle Jo' in the Oval, fumblin' on policy
While the streets scream out, you maintain your hypocrisy
Economy crashin', ain't no proof in your juice
Got 'em payin' for gas while you're lettin' truths be loose
Hidin' behind the crisis, while the map's painted red
Playin' two-faced politics while the commonwealth bled
Lost the youth's faith, can't catch the future’s drift
Surrounded by killers, yet you flexin’ on your rift

****[Chorus]****
Torn to pieces, you're falling apart
Not the unity, just deceit in your heart
From the East to the West, your reign's a farce
Time to step down and acknowledge your loss

****[Verse 2]****
Ain't no Potus with the focus, rather clueless and deranged
Financial abyss lurks, while your speech ain't changed
Executives signing checks all marked with distress
Cash flow to those who flex and leave the populace pressed
Senate’s in your pocket, but what bout the masses?
They fed up with the lies, while your charade passes
Promises broken like chains that never held tight
Burning bridges nightly just to claim the daylight
Fumbling plans and schemes, no vision in sight
Behind the teleprompter, a hollowed soul in plight
Remind you of the battles fought, but did you forget?
Real warriors live ciphers; you faker than the net
Hand wave politics, lookin' for that snap fix
Lies slip from your lips, nation battle-fixin' the mix
Got folks starvin', sufferin', left out in the cold
While you bask in the warm glow of power foretold

****[Chorus]****
Torn to pieces, you're falling apart
Not the unity, just deceit in your heart
From the East to the West, your reign's a farce
Time to step down and acknowledge your loss

****[Verse 3]****
You ain't foolin' no one in the hustle, clock tick-tick
Policies static, like lenses with no optic
Got the globe stressin', dollar bills weighin' heavy
While you signin’ checks to states already wealthy
Media runnin' stories paintin' rosy yet meek
While the real stars bleed, repressed and weak
You came as an answer, but fell like broken speech
Promises unmet, ideals you couldn't breach
Lebron said it best, 23 and still they dost
Gave hope for equality, feels like another loss
From immigration woes to healthcare distress
You the head in charge, but fixed less, more a mess
Fakin' with the Union, you the wrong guide to trust
We the people, you lied, turned ideals into dust
World’s eyes on us, with your policies suspect
Track record flatline, here's the intellect dissect

****[Chorus]****
Torn to pieces, you're falling apart
Not the unity, just deceit in your heart
From the East to the West, your reign's a farce
Time to step down and acknowledge your loss

****[Verse 4]****
You claim growth, but the stats say otherwise
Foreclosures, bankruptcies, homes left dry
East promises revival, but instead more demise
Job market's shaky; aspirations on the fly
You praise economy’s rise, but ain't you the fool?
Ignoring the ground, inflated highs just cruel
Got the people diggin’ deep, yet they sinkin’ lower
MLK's dreams fade, freedom clocktower flower
Your same old story, over and over, no amend
Voters' trust funnel down, this isn't a trend
Past events paint chaos, your tenure's testament
Thousand D.C. nights, this ain't the best it gets
Nothin’ but slow decline, when you sittin' 'pon the throne
Jester of democracy, nation’s clowning groan
False savior of the hour, your words shallow like a stream
This ain't America's dream, only your fleeting gleam

****[Chorus]****
Torn to pieces, you're falling apart
Not the unity, just deceit in your heart
From the East to the West, your reign's a farce
Time to step down and acknowledge your loss

****[Verse 5]****
Joe, my pen bleeds truths you can't contain
These 20 bars, carve scars in your campaign
Every speech a façade, can't mask the pain
Nation bendin', breakin’, through your reign's disdain
You pawn to prevailing winds, how long will you spin?
No legacy to leave, buried trust deep within
All the heads noddin', but ain't no bridge you crossed
Lines in sand, broken trust, democracy's lost
People demand an answer, but you busy with jest
While shadows pull the strings, put the truth to the test
From climate talks to NATO, your stances misdirec’
The world's callin' out, and you neglect what's correct
So while the red, white, blue fades to gray in your stay
Remember it's the people who'll reclaim the day
Till then, here’s the truth that your reign has cost
History will mark, what America has lost

****[Chorus]****
Torn to pieces, you're falling apart
Not the unity, just deceit in your heart
From the East to the West, your reign's a farce
Time to step down and acknowledge your loss
