[Intro] 
 0:00
[verse] 
 0:01
Mmm, yeah… 
 0:01
December dreams… 
 0:05
Fed in the balance… 
 0:08
Ohhh-woah… 
 0:10
Baby, it’s pressure on the Fed tonight, 
 0:13
[chorus] 
 0:16
Tryna see if they gon’ hold or bring that rate down right. 
 0:16
Markets dancin’, curves romancin’, nothin’ stayin’ still, 
 0:19
IS risin’, LM tight, got ‘em questionin’ the thrill. 
 0:23
And the FE line glowin’, labor runnin’ too strong— 
 0:26
So December got ‘em thinkin’, “We can’t move wrong…” 
 0:29
[verse] 
 0:40
Yeah, the outlook glitter but the shadows still grow, 
 0:40
Inflation coolin’ down, but not as fast as they hoped. 
 0:43
IS burst from demand, fiscal hittin’ like a drum, 
 0:46
Consumers still vibin’, they ain’t slowin’ where they from. 
 0:50
LM curve stiff, money flow tuggin’ at the seams, 
 0:53
Banks tightenin’ credit, crashin’ all the easy dreams. 
 0:56
FE screamin’ full employment like, “We good over here,” 
 0:59
But the Fed sees heat under the hood they still fear. 
 1:02
SRAS inchin’ upward—supply takin’ its time, 
 1:07
LRAS sayin’, “Long run fine,” but short-run ain’t aligned. 
 1:10
One move wrong, AD could rise and light the fire, 
 1:15
Then prices climb back—ain’t nobody desire. 
 1:18
So they watch every signal like a lover who lied, 
 1:22
Heart wants to cut, but the mind can’t decide. 
 1:25
Baby, it’s pressure on the Fed tonight, 
 1:31
Tryna see if they gon’ hold or bring that rate down right. 
 1:35
Markets dancin’, curves romancin’, nothin’ stayin’ still, 
 1:39
IS risin’, LM tight, got ‘em questionin’ the thrill. 
 1:43
And the FE line glowin’, labor runnin’ too strong— 
 1:46
So December got ‘em thinkin’, “We can’t move wrong…” 
 1:49
PCE still whisperin’, “Don’t lose control,” 
 1:59
Inflation expectations tryna play that role. 
 2:03
GDP flexin’, still a little too bold, 
 2:07
Makes a cut feel risky when the truth unfolds. 
 2:09
If they hold too long, growth could start to fade, 
 2:12
But if they cut too fast, might regret what they made. 
 2:16
AD shift right, SRAS too slow, 
 2:20
Price level rising—yeah, the Fed already know. 
 2:23
Markets bettin’ cuts heavy like dice on the floor, 
 2:26
But credibility matters—can’t just give what they askin’ for. 
 2:29
So December lookin’ like a crossroads drawn, 
 2:32
One move sets the night, next move sets the dawn. 
 2:36
Ohhh, dual mandate callin’, 
 2:40
Keepin’ prices from fallin’, 
 2:41
Holdin’ jobs when they stallin’… 
 2:43
They just tryna find the truth. 
 2:45
Mmm, all these models collide— 
 2:47
IS, LM, FE in the night… 
 2:49
AD and SRAS fight— 
 2:51
[chorus] 
 2:52
What’s the Fed gon’ do? 
 2:52
Baby, it’s pressure on the Fed tonight, 
 2:55
Tryna see if they gon’ hold or bring that rate down right. 
 2:58
Market signals all conflicted, nothin’ feelin’ clear, 
 3:02
IS shiftin’, LM liftin’, FE whisperin’ in their ear. 
 3:05
Yeah, the labor still burnin’, inflation not fully gone— 
 3:09
So December got ‘em thinkin’, 
 3:14
“We can’t move wrong… no, we can’t move wrong…” 
 3:16
