Joey Bada$$ turns up the lyrical notch for the new President Trump era and drops a few bars addressing the plight of society and the U.S. with his thought-provoking new single “Land of the Free.” Enlightening the minds, the Brooklyn MC spits,
“Realize the real games that they tried to show us/
300 plus years of them cold shoulders/
Yet 300 million of us still got no focus/
Sorry America, but I will not be your soldier/
Obama just wasn’t enough, I just need some more closure/
And Donald Trump is not equipped to take this country over/
Let’s face facts cause what’s the real motives/ In the land of the free, it’s for the free loaders/
Leave us dead in the street then be your organ donors/
They disorganized my people, made us all loners’
Still got the last names of our slave owners”
Joey Bada$$ has been held up in the lab working on his highly anticipated new project AABA and has been quite vocal about his views on the new Commander-in-Chief. His label head Jonny Shipes of Cinematic Music Group also revealed this week that Joey was asked to perform at the inauguration on Friday (Jan. 20) which he quickly declined.
Fun fact @realDonaldTrump asked Joey to perform at his inauguration #Curve go that way 👉🏻👉🏼👉🏽👉🏾👉🏿 https://t.co/TvteakIwzZ
