Artist's Note
This verse demonstrates RKM's sophisticated political commentary using universal archetypes of power critique. The bars create a scathing indictment that works on multiple levels - from systematic critique of presidential power through drug metaphors to rap culture excellence comparisons. The progression moves from general power critique (presidential 'dealing') to competence assessment (governance quality) to hierarchical corruption (fake authority figures) to ultimate rejection (deuces). Each bar contains multiple layers of meaning that leverage universal political archetypes, making the critique broadly applicable to any democratic system while maintaining sophisticated cultural references.
