Lil Baby Drops New Song “The Bigger Picture” Addressing Police Brutality & Racism

Last week, Lil Baby joined the list of rappers that have come out to join protesters in matching against police brutality, racism and social injustice. He was spotted protesting in Atlanta with city councilman Antonio Brown, who represents the city’s District 3.

On Friday, Lil Baby dropped a new song, “The Bigger Picture.” On the track, Baby switches up his subject matter to the ongoing encounters with racism, police brutality and the criminal justice system.

The Atlanta rapper also offers vivid imageries of his experience attending the recent protests in his hometown following the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and a number of other Black men and women who have lost their lives at the hands of police.

“They trainin’ officers to kill us/They shootin’ protestors with these rubber bullets/They regular people I know that they feel it/These scars too deep to heal us/What happen to COVID/Nobody remember/It ain’t makin’ sense/I’m just here to vent/It happened to one of yo people it’s different/We get it, the system is wicked just learn how to pick it/Knowledge is power, I swear I’m a witness/I know that I’m gifted,” he raps on the track.

According to XXL, he is donating proceeds from “The Bigger Picture” to The Bail Project, National Association of Black Journalists and Breonna Taylor’s legal fund.

Listen to the song below :

The song was released moments after Tekashi 6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj’s collaboration “TROLLZ” dropped. And folks online are already rating Lil Baby’s effort over 6ix9ine’s.

And here are some reactions on twitter :
