FRUG IS KING
[00:00.14] (Leader, barely above a whisper)
[00:02.00] You came here broke.
[00:05.72] Wallets empty. Trust gone.
[00:12.10] Someone took everything
[00:17.14] and disappeared.
[00:23.52] We know that feeling.
[00:28.03] Every frug knows that feeling.
[00:32.02] (pause)
[00:37.06] We been quiet…
[00:39.72] Now we rise.
[00:43.44] (Leader)
[00:52.73] Hands in the mud.
[00:54.08] Eyes on the light.
[00:55.93] Not because it's easy—
[00:57.25] because the swamp made us right.
[00:59.38] You came from rug.
[01:01.24] You came from loss.
[01:02.83] You came from watching charts go red
[01:04.68] and counting what it cost.
[01:05.76] We don't run from that.
[01:07.61] We carry it.
[01:09.21] Every scar is a marker.
[01:11.06] Every L is a warrant —
[01:13.19] proof you were here.
[01:15.31] Proof you survived.
[01:17.97] (Leader)
[01:20.10] If you got rug-pulled —
[01:20.89] walk with us.
[01:22.75] If they took your bag —
[01:24.61] walk with us.
[01:25.94] If you're still standing —
[01:28.32] you're already one of us.
[01:33.11] Say it like you mean it.
[01:34.70] Say it like a vow.
[01:35.77] (Leader)
[01:36.83] SAY IT.
[01:37.62] (Crowd, huge)
[01:38.15] FUCK RUGS.
[01:38.95] (Leader)
[01:39.48] LOUDER.
[01:40.29] (Crowd, huger)
[01:40.54] FUCK RUGS.
[01:42.41] (Leader)
[01:42.94] One more time — like you lost it.
[01:46.13] (Crowd, full stadium, raw)
[01:46.92] FUCK. RUGS.
[01:48.78] (Leader, low, final)
[01:50.37] Swamp don't bow.
[01:53.84] Frug… is king.
[01:55.96] (Leader)
[01:57.81] You thought we were a meme.
[01:59.14] You thought we'd die in February.
[02:01.26] You printed your bags and left—
[02:02.85] we were still here in March.
[02:04.72] Still green in the dark.
[02:06.32] Still webbed feet in the dirt.
[02:08.17] Still building while you slept
[02:09.77] and laughing 'cause it hurt.
[02:11.62] Degenora didn't fall.
[02:13.48] It just learned to hide.
[02:15.07] Now it's building underground
[02:16.68] and coming up the other side.
[02:18.53] (building)
[02:19.06] Every race on the island—
[02:20.39] Frug, Scamuel, Bullu, Berra—
[02:22.25] every one of us was written off.
[02:24.64] Every one of us is still here.
[02:25.96] (Leader)
[02:26.77] If you held when they told you sell —
[02:27.57] (Crowd)
[02:28.10] STILL HERE.
[02:28.89] (Leader)
[02:29.69] If you built when they called it dead —
[02:31.29] (Crowd)
[02:31.55] STILL HERE.
[02:32.34] (Leader)
[02:33.14] If you never bowed to the rug —
[02:34.20] (Crowd)
[02:34.47] STILL HERE.
[02:36.06] STILL HERE.
[02:37.67] STILL. HERE.
[02:39.79] (Leader)
[02:40.58] SAY IT.
[02:41.38] (Crowd)
[02:41.91] FUCK RUGS.
[02:42.71] (Leader)
[02:42.97] FEEL IT.
[02:43.77] (Crowd)
[02:44.30] FUCK RUGS.
[02:46.15] (Leader, drawing it out)
[02:47.22] Like you lost everything and came back anyway—
[02:50.68] (Crowd, erupting)
[02:51.47] FUCK RUGS.
[02:54.66] (Leader, alone)
[02:57.57] The swamp is not a prison.
[03:03.43] The swamp is where you go
[03:07.94] when the surface failed you.
[03:11.66] You go deep.
[03:12.99] You go dark.
[03:13.79] You go quiet.
[03:14.85] And then—
[03:15.64] you come back up.
[03:18.30] Covered in mud.
[03:19.89] Smelling like war.
[03:22.29] Still breathing.
[03:24.94] That's a Frug.
[03:26.27] (Crowd chanting, building)
[03:27.33] FRUG. FRUG. FRUG. FRUG.
[03:32.64] FRUG. FRUG. FRUG. FRUG.
[03:37.16] (Leader over the chant)
[03:40.61] We been patient.
[03:42.20] We been watching.
[03:44.06] We been eating insects
[03:45.93] while they ate steak.
[03:47.52] But the swamp remembers.
[03:48.85] The swamp keeps score.
[03:50.44] The swamp don't forget
[03:52.03] what happened at the shore.
[03:53.89] (Leader)
[03:56.01] ONE LAST TIME.
[03:56.82] (Crowd)
[03:57.61] FUCK RUGS.
[03:58.41] (Leader)
[03:58.94] FOR EVERYONE WHO LOST—
[04:00.53] (Crowd)
[04:01.06] FUCK RUGS.
[04:01.86] (Leader)
[04:02.66] FOR EVERYONE WHO STAYED—
[04:04.25] (Crowd, maximum)
[04:04.78] FUCK. RUGS.
[04:06.11] (Leader, low and final)
[04:11.69] Swamp don't bow.
[04:13.02] Swamp don't break.
[04:14.61] Swamp don't forget.
[04:18.32] Frug…
[04:19.65] (pause)
[04:21.52] …is king.
[04:23.38] (Crowd, fading, reverent)
[04:25.23] Frug is king.
[04:28.42] Frug is king.
[04:32.15] Frug is king.
