The track opens with an intriguing spoken-word verse, bold, grabs attention. “We steady rolling with patience, steady rolling with patience. Moving to the location.” These lines set the stage for what’s to come. The heart of the song lies in its critique of the music industry. Proklaim pulls no punches.

Proklaim urges us to speak up, even when it’s uncomfortable. The truth isn’t always pretty, but it’s necessary. And hate? Well, that’s the price of honesty.

Backed by infectious beats, Proklaim’s voice slices through the noise. It’s not background music; it’s a manifesto. The industry’s deceptive practices? He calls them out, demanding attention and sparking conversations.
