Just Meet It First

Verse 1
White lines cut through a newborn town
Every crib learns to lay face down
School bells traded for funeral drums
Future sold one gram at a time
Bought the poor a borrowed smile
Fed ’em hope like baited wire
Every favor came with teeth
Every prayer learned how to bleed
Chorus
They crowned themselves with loaded guns
Called it order, called it God
Built their heaven out of graves
Paid in sons they never raised
Gold don’t shine when it’s soaked in screams
Blood counts faster than money
Post-Chorus (HOOK)
You don’t beat the dirt
You just meet it first
Verse 2
Pablo Escobar signed checks with bodies stacked
Turned mercy into artifact
Hospitals burned, judges ran
Truth got buried where it land
Petting zoos and private jets
Every smile was counterfeit
When the radios went quiet
Even death stopped asking why
Chorus
They crowned themselves with loaded guns
Called it order, called it God
Built their heaven out of graves
Paid in sons they never raised
Gold don’t shine when it’s soaked in screams
Blood counts faster than money
Post-Chorus (HOOK)
You don’t beat the dirt
You just meet it first
Verse 3
El Chapo tunneled under fate and law
Laughin’ at the cage he saw
But clocks don’t blink, they only wait
Freedom’s just a delayed mistake
Every mile just fed the beast
Every escape shaved off belief
You don’t outrun what you are
You just pick the prison bar
Bridge (half-time, drop the band)
Kids still play where the bullets slept
Mothers count what the numbers left
History don’t sing their names
Only echoes choking on blame
Final Chorus
They crowned themselves with loaded guns
Called it order, called it God
Built their heaven out of graves
Paid in sons they never raised
Gold don’t shine when it’s soaked in screams
Blood counts faster than money
Final Hook (a cappella, twice)
You don’t beat the dirt
You just meet it first
You don’t beat the dirt
You just meet it first
Outro
Every throne comes with a hole.

This is a compelling story - I wonder if the hook "just meet it first" could be applied to multiple stories of this type which would give the song an even more universaal feel

I don't know , it's just about the Cartel , why would I involve other scenarios . What universal situation would be more brutal than the cartel ? Back to humor , Coke is tax free like religion
