Shielded Justice
(Verse 1)
Hey Steve, what are you shielding, what's behind that badge?
Justice ain't a mask you wear to dodge the facts.
Sheriff meant to search and hunt, to fix what's broke,
Not to hide the truth behind a cloak.
Felicia's wrapped up tight, but they let him roam,
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, safe in his throne.
They snip and fix, but only for the ones they choose,
While the rest of us get nothing but their abuse.
(Pre-Chorus)
Faces hidden, lies spun thick like chains,
Shielded from the law, protected from the pain.
But I'm done with shadows, done with the disguise,
I'm tearing down the walls, exposing all the lies.
(Chorus)
So what are you shielding, Steve? What's the real crime?
If this is justice, then why's it so blind?
I'm the one they call broken, but I'm the one who's free,
While you play your games behind the scenes.
(Verse 2)
Protect and serve? More like protect and hide,
While the innocent bleed and the guilty slide.
Justice isn't blind—it's got eyes wide shut,
Turning a deaf ear when the system's corrupt.
You pull the strings, you write the script,
But I'm done playing the victim in your twisted crypt.
So tell me, Steve, do I stay or do I leave?
Either way, I'm breaking chains, no tricks up my sleeve.
(Bridge)
Shielded justice means in your protection,
Or in your hiding care,
But that doesn't make you a hero—no,
All you're doing is covering,
Blind to the truth,
Blind to the pain,
Blind to the cries of the ones you let remain.
In that case, all you're doing is covering
Actual rape, blind to the shame.
(Chorus)
So what are you shielding, Steve? What's the real crime?
If this is justice, then why's it so blind?
I'm the one they call broken, but I'm the one who's free,
While you play your games behind the scenes.
(Outro)
No more shields, no more lies, no more chains,
I'm free, I'm loud—I'm breaking the reins.
Shielded justice isn't justice at all,
It's just another way to let the innocent fall.
