Joyner Lucas has never been afraid to speak for the masses and use his platform to send a message. This time, the Massachusetts rapper questioned God as to why he’s taken so many good characters and left us with questionable ones.
Joyner raps, “Give us Biggie, give us Pun, give us Triple X. Take that n**ga Trump with you, that’s a bigger threat. There’s too much power for a coward with no intellect. That’s a bigot with a collar, there’s a disconnect.” He continues in another part of the song, “I need you to give back Martin Luther, take Martin Shkreli. Give us back Malcolm, take R. Kelly.”
Joyner mentions the late #NipseyHussle in a verse, “Wonder why the f*ck you take Nipsey Hussle from us. Damn you took a true king, a true brother from us. This isn’t f*ckin’ marathon but they runnin’ from us!” He also mentions Nipsey’s killer, Eric Holder…”Take Eric Holder, give us Eric Wright back.”
Throughout the song, Joyner also mentions Meek Mill’s former protege, rapper Lil’ Snupe, who was shot and killed in 2013 and pays respect to Tupac, Selena, Aaliyah, Sandra Bland, Trayvon Martin, Emmett Till, Michael Jackson, and Whitney Houston.
He ends the record with a suggestion about the nemesis of the culture Tomi Lahren and her counterpart Laura Ingram. “Tomi Lahren run her mouth and then she gets defensive. Laura Ingraham laughing at death and disrespecting. I really think you should teach those stupid hoes a lesson. Either that or give us back somebody that deserves the blessings.”
What do you think about the new Joyner Lucas joint, ‘Devil’s Work’?
