Legal Doesn’t Mean Right

Verse 1
They say it’s legal, so it’s fine, so don’t question the design
But legality been hiding behind loopholes and lines
Paper clean, hands dirty, signatures shine
While families break down just to keep lights on at night
They don’t lock up greed, they don’t sentence neglect
They just rewrite the rules till the powerful protected
You can follow every step, still get pushed to the edge
‘Cause the law don’t measure pain, it just measures what’s said

Hook
Legal doesn’t mean right
Just means they wrote it that way
Doesn’t mean it’s fair
Doesn’t mean we okay
You can play by the rules
Still lose your whole life
Legal doesn’t mean just
Legal doesn’t mean right

Verse 2
They reward paperwork over people every time
Stamp a form, deny a soul, say it’s policy, not crime
They say “nothing personal,” just procedures and files
But it’s personal when hunger sitting inches from a child
A missed payment cost freedom, a mistake cost years
But a suit steals millions, walks away clear
Morals don’t survive where profit is king
They don’t ask “should we?” they ask “what will this bring?”

Hook
Legal doesn’t mean right
Just means it passed through a pen
Doesn’t mean it’s just
Doesn’t mean it makes sense
You can do everything right
Still pay the price
Legal doesn’t mean truth
Legal doesn’t mean right

Bridge (spoken / half-rap)
They don’t write laws for the broken
They write them for the protected
If it was about justice
It wouldn’t be selective

Final Verse
They call it order, but chaos lives underneath
When survival gets punished and silence gets peace
You learn quick in this world what the system respects
Not your heart, not your struggle, just compliance and checks

Outro
So don’t confuse legal with moral
Don’t confuse rules with what’s fair
Some things are legal
Just because the wrong people were there
