“For the People” by MA Shalom is a politically charged, socially conscious anthem calling out corruption, deception, and systemic injustice. The song blends sharp critique with a rallying cry, challenging the power structures that manipulate society while inspiring awareness and action.
The hook immediately sets the tone, questioning leadership and representation: “For the people… By the people… Who the people you say you represent?” It calls for an end to lies, social inequality, and injustice, urging listeners to “read between the lines” and recognize the hidden forces shaping their lives.
In Verse 1, Shalom exposes the influence of corporate and financial elites, referencing figures like the Rothschilds, JP Morgan, and Rockefeller, and highlighting the ways democracy and media are manipulated. The verse critiques both political parties, illustrating a system divided to control, while referencing strategies of power that have kept the populace unaware for decades.
Verse 2 continues the exposé, focusing on financial systems, taxation, and global control agendas. The lyrics highlight the impact of war, economic manipulation, and the push for a “One World Order,” while juxtaposing it with hope and restoration through truth and divine promise. The repeated call to rise “against the beast in disguise” reinforces both resistance and empowerment.
The outro unites the song’s message into a rallying cry for accountability, freedom, and truth, encouraging listeners to reclaim power and reject deception. Shalom merges spiritual and social awareness, emphasizing that justice and liberation are attainable through both vigilance and faith.
