Dae Dae Dedicates “Black Lives Matter” Video to Barack Obama [Watch Now]

Dae Dae and London On Da Track recently released the visuals to the socially conscious closing track “Black Lives Matter,” from their collaborative project The DefAnition mixtape released back in November. The video is dedicated to former United States president Barack Obama while simultaneously shedding light on the ongoing problem of police-involved killings and harassment of people of color.

The “What U Mean” rapper opens the first verse: “You killing my skin (black)/ You killing my colors (blue)/You killing my niggas (my kind)/Crazy motherfucker (bitch)/Like what is your reason? (really?)/I rap for a reason (I do)/I trap for a reason (my kids)/This shit here easy? (No, no)/ My President black (Barack)/ My bank account swollen (the racks)/ My credit is whack (nothing)/ I feel like they holdin (on me)/ Trayvon we miss you/ I hope that you listening/ This shit ridiculous/ I had to mention it.”

Over a wicked, mid-tempo piano loop, Dae Dae shouts out Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, Alton Sterling, Sandra Brown and asks, “Is it safe for me (Is it safe)/ to walk the streets with my kids with me?”
