The 25- time-old rapper Lil Baby processes the injustice he faces in America as a Black man. The song shows the talkie on the conduct on the thoroughfares of Atlanta. The lyrics of the song are important-“ Every multicolored person ai n’t dumb and all Whites, not racist, I be judging by the mind and heart, I ai n’t really into faces”. In the videotape, we see the Black gests and the conduct on the thoroughfares. We first see the rapper in Atlanta megacity, in the air at a rally. He’s wearing a T-shirt which says “ Black Lives Matter”. Also the videotape continues with the point where the protestors are marching, being tear- gladdened, and shot with the rubber pellets by the police. He also dives into the asininity of the police mind- state and the lack of humanity and allowed process of guarding themselves over the communities they’re paid to take care of and to cover them.
Baby expresses his frustration at the police for their shortcomings. In the song he raps “ They supposed to cover us/ Throw us in bind and apprehensions us/ While they go home at night, that shit messes up/ Knowing we demanded help, they neglect us”. The song shows the talkie on the conduct on the thoroughfares of Atlanta.
The rapper’s incapability to express similar raw and relatable thinking makes him such an inconceivable songster. He’d one of the most individual successful times in music therefore far.
