"In South Texas, we live in a area rich with culture and great people.
Unfortunately its also has a reputation of political corruption, this song just scratches the surface on what's happened or what happens in the place we live in regarding the abuse of power by politicians and authority figures"
they walk in between the raindrops
of repercussions
with the right name you can indulge in
any transgressions
officers earned monetary gain
by ripping off dealers
stealing, selling, reinstating the product
back on the street corners
conflict of interest
grimy hands create transactions
to guarantee their name will be
checked off the ballot
flagrant abuse of authority
manipulating campaigns
it's a free rein of corruption
behind closed doors
the broken gavel is what protects them from a jail cell
the system they run leaves them untouchable
they sweep each other's shit under the rug
it just piles up
cops beating, raping, distributing drugs
separate incidents justify why we shouldn't trust
bribes, cocaine, buying votes
elected officials make deals under the table
even a judge got their charge dismissed
the video evidence was somehow insufficient
they get away with what they can in this place
in the valley of depravity, no one is safe
no ones safe in the valley
