THE STORY

The world of this song feels watched, coded and manipulated. Truth is bent out of shape while the narrator tries to keep a clear path through it. Repeated words make the pressure echo, but they also let resistance gather strength: rise, stand, expose. The voice answers a hidden scheme by refusing to surrender its judgement. Fire and rising steam turn that refusal into something with heat and movement. The final claim is about the mind remaining untrapped. The song works as a charged confrontation with manipulation, using the language of a dark urban fable rather than naming a specific conspiracy.

DEM LAWYA inna di echo chamber
Dub mode
Watch it now

Dem plot inna shadow, shadow
Dem twist up truth like a cargo, cargo
System a track we pon barcode, code
But mi move through dark like a stealth commando

Deep inna di street, tension rise, rise
Babylon a watch wid dem cold dead eyes, eyes
Mi chant fi di youth, keep wise, wise
And mi burn down lies, lies, lies

Twisted, twisted

Dem got a twisted scheme, scheme
Pressure pon di scene, scene
But we rise like steam, steam, steam
DEM LAWYA cut clean, clean, clean

Twisted scheme
Twisted scheme
Echo to di region, region, region

Dem capture data pon every step, step
Secret file weh dem keep inna depth, depth
Mi walk through trap but mi never misstep, step
Heart full of fire so mi nah lose breath

Mi see di blueprint dem a hide, hide
Dem push manipulation worldwide, wide
But truth a roll through like a rising tide, tide
DEM LAWYA stand firm pon di frontline side, side

Twisted
Scheme
Fire, fire, fire

Stand tall, tall, tall
No fall, fall, fall
Expose it all, all, all
Babylon wall fall, fall, fall

Dem got a twisted scheme
Pressure pon di scene
Dem got a twisted scheme
Rise up like steam, steam

Twisted, twisted
Scheme, scheme
DEM LAWYA inna dreamwave beam, beam, beam

Twisted scheme
Cyah trap mi mind, mind
Cyah block mi shine, shine
Dub fade, fade, fade
