letra de streets don't salute suits - kxllinme

[chorus ]

rain don’t bow to orange or gold
it just washes fake tan off the stories you sold
you hide in a tower while the city fights cold
we survive on fumes, you survive on control

sky still bleeds on the broke and brave
while you tweet from a bunker tryna misbehave
f-ck your fence, f-ck your fraud parade
portland rain don’t fear your shade

[verse 1]
you talk about portland like it’s kabul at dawn
like i’m duckin’ bullets, dog — nah, i’m just clocked in ’til dawn
you got me out here “fighting for my life”? that’s a punchline
i’m just makin’ peace offers with fiends in the lunch line

bruh, i do more for my city in a twelve-hour shift
than you did four years just talkin’ your sh-t
you send “stimmy checks,” then act like it’s a gift
that’s my tax money, dummy — that’s a murdoch grift

y’all treat help like a ponzi, then call it a plan
gave us ious for rent, now the rent still stands
i seen more real heroes in a —– breakroom
than you got in your cabinet poutin’ on zoom
you see riots and headlines, call that a war?
nah, folks out here dyin’ slow behind convenience-store doors
you wanna know “danger”? try moppin’ blood off tile
while your rich friends drink merlot, watchin’ us on trial

you in your little glass box tweetin’ out threats
never seen a night shift — just fake tan and debts
you think you’re hard ’cause you send in the feds?
bro, the scariest thing i see is my drawer in the red

[chorus]

rain don’t bow to orange or gold
it just washes fake tan off the stories you sold
you hide in a tower while the city fights cold
we survive on fumes, you survive on control

sky still bleeds on the broke and brave
while you tweet from a bunker tryna misbehave
f-ck your fence, f-ck your fraud parade
portland rain don’t fear your shade

[verse 2]

during covid, streets went ghost-mode cold
mask on, breath fog, heart stuck in patrol
every night felt borrowed — same hoodie, same fear
fiends lined up for smoke like communion out here
no cops, no backup — i’m by myself in lawless
just fluorescent hum and a drawer gettin’ lawless
kids with hammers, kids with t–th gone hollow
say “don’t move,” they steal futures for a swallow

i got robbed every f-ckin’ night, counted dings like prayer
learned how to smile with a blade in the air
power cut, cameras dead, my name on the silent list
it teach you quick how small you feel when n0body exists

if you was gonna do somethin’, do it then — not when the headlines change
show up when we need it, not just when you need the frame
you preach like you built the cure — boy, you graduated late
years too late to clap now while we still sweep glass on fate

[chorus]

rain don’t bow to orange or gold
it just washes fake tan off the stories you sold
you hide in a tower while the city fights cold
we survive on fumes, you survive on control

sky still bleeds on the broke and brave
while you tweet from a bunker tryna misbehave
f-ck your fence, f-ck your fraud parade
portland rain don’t fear your shade
[verse 3]

you called us war-torn, said the city’s a curse
but the only thing k!llin’ hope here is suits in a he-rs-
you campaign on the chaos but never step in the mess
wouldn’t last one hour with the weight on my chest

come clock in for a shift, let’s see you handle the grind
surrounded by ghosts and alarms, losin’ track of the time
you talk about “lawless” — try survivin’ the drought
where the fiends know your name and the power goes out

try baggin’ groceries for a mother in tears
or tellin’ a regular his friend’s not comin’ back this year
you preach from your bunker, safe, all detached
while we barter with burnout and dream of escape hatch

so next time you label my home with your fear
remember, real danger’s just livin’ right here
we hold down the block while your headlines fade
and when the city’s still standin’, it’s because we stayed

[chorus]

rain don’t bow to orange or gold
it just washes fake tan off the stories you sold
you hide in a tower while the city fights cold
we survive on fumes, you survive on control

sky still bleeds on the broke and brave
while you tweet from a bunker tryna misbehave
f-ck your fence, f-ck your fraud parade
portland rain don’t fear your shade

[outro]

yeah…
you ever stand in the rain so long you forget it’s there?

that’s portland
that’s us

we the ones still clockin’ in
streets don’t salute suits
