Yo, lemme break it down for y'all real quick. They sayin' it cost $13.1 MILLION to fix the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Straight up, that's some BS.

Remember when Trump said it was gonna be way cheaper? Well, shocker, that ain't happen. They hit us with the bait-and-switch, hard.

And peep this: a no-bid contract? Come on, man. That's how they do it. Give the homies the bag, no questions asked. While the rest of us struggling to pay rent and put food on the table, they splurgin' on a damn puddle.

They paintin' it blue now? Blue? What was wrong with regular water? This gotta be some kinda inside joke for the elite, laughin' all the way to the bank. Meanwhile, our schools need funding, our communities need jobs, and our healthcare system is a mess. But nah, let's make the pool pretty.

This ain't about history or patriotism, this is about power and privilege. They gettin' fat off our taxes, while we gettin' played like a damn fiddle. Wake up, people! This ain't right.

Thirteen million dollars could do a whole lotta good in our neighborhoods. But instead, it's goin' to line the pockets of some fat cat contractor who probably never seen the inside of a bodega. It's a slap in the face.

They think we stupid, but we ain't. We see what they doin'. And we ain't forgettin'.
