B.o.B's "Peace Piece" finds the Atlanta rapper collaborating with Meridian, Mississippi's Big K.R.I.T. on a track which addresses issues of police brutality, the crack epidemic, and the struggles Black Americans have faced throughout history. "The last words that a man should ever here/Should never be 'get on the ground,'" raps Bobby. "Even the law don't follow the law."
Later on, Big K.R.I.T., criticizes the Trump administration for perpetuating these race issues. "The president don't give a fuck about us/The government don't give a fuck either/They talkin' make America great again/I just wanna say my piece/I just want that 40 acres and mule/Another promise didn't fall through."
The song comes off B.o.B's new release Ether, which features guest appearances from Lil Wayne, Young Thug, Ty Dolla $ign, and more. Stream it here.
Quotable Lyrics:
Our culture so misunderstood
It's cloudy up over the hood
I think about packing my bags
And leaving this country for good
Glock, Glock in my car for your probable cause
'Cause even the law don't follow the law
Guess it's my fault for being Black
A country built on my people's backs
Peace Piece
Bobby Ray and KRIT team for a politically-charged track from "Ether."
