The facts in this song come from "Lions and Scavengers", a book by Ben Shapiro, whoh has a social media following of tens of millions.
Fourteen minutes from Independence Hall You'll find Hell on Kensington Street Its a zombie apocalypse, American fall The worst decay you'll ever meet. People inject each other with heroin and tranq. You wonder how the survival instinct warps Ben Shapiro went there, and his heart sank He described each loser as a living corpse He was aghast, he saw people without feet Rotted away because of the tranq they ingest Festering bodies, was this once a stately street? Our founders pledged sacred honor, but did they fail this test? Prostitutes fill the streets by kids walking to school The kids walk by the dead, by addicts shooting a last vein Anyone who advocated for this would be a fool But we elected one as mayor, isn't that insane? The DSA platform once said all drugs should legalize I hope Mamdani gave this up now But whores on your doorstep, he'll give that prize Does he know what he's doing, what this will allow? Plenty of people stoned in New York But more chaos can be made, does anyone care? Genie out of the bottle, can't find the cork Remember Kensington Street, Philadelphia, and despair.
