“Just remember this…this ain’t that situation / You think I’m stupid enough to kill my reputation? / Just simply to look like a victim, like it’s something fun?” He raps. “Y’all better look at someone else, you got the wrong one.”
While Smollett offered a shout out to “the people who kept it real, who kept it true,” he likewise leveled with others who may not have actually agreed him, sharing that with “the narrative they played / I really over-stand the reason why y’all felt betrayed.”
“They had my own people, thoughts going off the wall / That’s why from L.D. to Don I still got love for y’all,” he raps. “I know we’ll meet again / Talk like real men instead of sharing shade in rooms and up on CNN.”
The artist includes the track that “all I ever really wanted to do was make my people proud.”
In the video’s caption, Smollett exposed that “100% of the profits” from the tune will be contributed towards The Rainbow PUSH Coalition, Illinois Innocence Project and Secure The BagSafety “With Love…,” he composed, prior to including the hashtag #ThankYou God.
