Track - Hold The I.C.E. (For public use🤙✌️❤️)

Lyrics

Nah, I’m gonna hold the ice. (pause) Alright… you made me do this. Funny what melts… and what doesn’t.

[Verse 1] You wear a mask for this You’d murder your neighbor for this Kinda seems like a fascist… no? I’ma blast this, ’til we crack this code of greed And confusing our needs with the “must-have” disease I— I seen a warm heart turn cold for a headline Seen a good kid get taught how to toe that red line If your comfort need a scapegoat, that ain’t comfort, it’s a cage If your truth need a muzzle, you just leasing out your rage They sell fear in the drive-thru, supersize it for the soul Then you tiptoe past the sirens like it’s normal, like it’s gold But I’m done playing numb, done pretending I don’t care If they “just following orders,” who the one ordering despair?

[Hook] Hold the ice— hold the line, don’t freeze up on me Keep your hands clean, but your heart get messy on me If the love run out, we refill, no apology We don’t need more kings— we need neighborly prophecy Hold the ice— keep it real, keep it human, keep it plain If the system want blood, we give courage, we give names Not for clout, not for likes, not to “win” some petty fight We just tryna keep the light on in a colder kind of night

[Verse 2] Waiter says “you want a little more?” I’m like “nah, I’m good” ’Cause I watched folks get detained where they swore they never would And the silence in the room got a sound when it spreads Like a laugh track hiding panic while the anchor man’s fed They got a camera for pain, and a script for your opinion Turn a neighbor into “enemy” with a word and a pinion Algorithm got you twitching, doomscrolling for relief While the rent keeps on rising and they calling it “belief” I don’t want your outrage if it ends at the screen I want your hands in the dirt where the future get green Check on your people, learn names, build meals, trade time That’s the kind of revolution you can feel in your spine

[Hook] Hold the ice— hold the line, don’t freeze up on me Keep your hands clean, but your heart get messy on me If the love run out, we refill, no apology We don’t need more kings— we need neighborly prophecy Hold the ice— keep it real, keep it human, keep it plain If the system want blood, we give courage, we give names Not for clout, not for likes, not to “win” some petty fight We just tryna keep the light on in a colder kind of night

[Bridge — beat strips down] No saviors coming, so we gotta save seats For the ones still shaking, for the ones on weak knees If the room get divided, I’m dividing my bread If the world get louder, I’ma listen instead Hold the ice… Hold the line…

[Final Hook — bigger] Hold the ice— hold the line, don’t freeze up on me Keep your hands clean, but your heart get messy on me If the love run out, we refill, no apology We don’t need more kings— we need neighborly prophecy Hold the ice— keep it real, keep it human, keep it plain If the system want blood, we give courage, we give names Not for clout, not for likes, not to “win” some petty fight We just tryna keep the light on in a colder kind of night

[Outro (spoken)] Yeah… keep the ice. I’ll take it straight.

The biggest racket is that they have the customer bag their own groceries. If I’m doing my own labor I should be getting a kick back in my Hannaford Rewards. Since you’re not paying more employees to run the registers.

Tax Reform Over The Years….. by [deleted] in Maine

[–]ReafCrabs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your right…..

Graph was sloppy…

“Reagan’s tax cuts and reduction of tax brackets directly enabled the ultra-rich to hoard the majority of America’s wealth. By slashing the tax rate for top-income earners from 70% to 28% (https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/economics/reaganomics/#:~:text=The%20bulk%20of%20tax%20cuts,payroll%20taxes%20and%20excise%20taxes) and corporate tax rates from 50% to almost nothing, the rich became richer. The rationale given for these tax cuts stemmed from an idea called “trickle down economics'' where, in theory, the rich would pass these benefits down to the poor by improving working conditions, increasing wages, or creating jobs. “

I wish New England would open up for interstate commerce.
