  • Killing black people like it’s NOTHING
  • The Church shooting
  • The school shooting
  • Haring to run away scared of the White folks

So how does that fit in with the narrative of parading around committing violent acts against his own? Who’s he doing this for? The cac that pulling the strings, “keeping you distracted and encouraging you to chase money”? If that’s the goal, then he failed to display that through the video and song, cuz he doesn’t show what’s at stake and doesn’t desensitize the viewer from the violence or call to action the real issue that’s he’s supposedly addressing.

Do our people not commit acts of violence against their own daily in the pursuit of obtaining money? That would be the black folks feeling like money will fix their issues, he's doing it for himself. The white man doesn't admonish his behavior because he has systematically isolated himself from blacks and black problems.

The scenarios in the video reflect real situations where cacs were the perpetrators and we were the victims, that’s why this shyt doesn’t make sense - If his intent was to show how we commit violent acts against our own under the guise of money then visually he went the wrong way with this:francis:.

You're now full circle back to the original point that was trying to be laid out for you.

When a black man's life is taken, when a church or school is shot up, keep dancing and singing.

Don't try to force the meaning, watch the video a couple times and take everything in the foreground and background in. Something will jump out at you.

:stopitslime:You must be living under a rock because that’s never been the case, til this day we still cry over the innocent life of Emmit like we do Trayvon.
If youre saying this from a white perspective, then again it doesn’t make sense because he’s talking to cacs yet trying to legitimize and dumb down our pain for a white audience.

Im not forcing the meaning cuz it was horribly done:yeshrug:. Y’all keep thinking Gambino and this video is deep though :mjlol:

You do realized that's Trayvons dad at the start of the video right? It immediately sets the tone

Its a double entendre bino (us..... blacks..... aka america) are both the victim and the perp you are looking for this to be a strictly white man america doing injustice to black but that's not what the video represents its only part of it and that's probably why you feel like it doesn't make sense.

America is killing us, we are killing our self's
And while that's happening we just dancing and singing our problems away while being encouraged to get that money as if that alone is going to make things better, you'll also notice how things in the video slowly progress from bad to worst.

You do realize Trayvon was killed in real life by a cac identifying hispanic and in the video was killed by a black man, right?:stopitslime: What tone does that set?

I expect that because again, the real life situations this video borrows from where we were victimized. This isn’t a two way street:mindblown:.

:aicmon: So now we shuckin and jivin while being victimized?
