“What do you have to lose,” has been Donald Trump’s struggle plea for the Black vote on multiple occasions. Only everything is the answer, and that’s the theme that’s been flipped into a song by The Philosopher’s Stone; Gabriel “Asheru” Benn, Wayna and DJ Roddy Rod.
The visuals were put together by Big Bowl of Ideas, and the song’s inspiration was the hateful rhetoric being spewed by Trump himself from the stage and his followers at his rallies throughout his presidential campaign.
Wayna holds down the chorus (“More black and bruised, more innocent accused”) while Asheru, aka the MC who cooked up the theme to The Boondocks, comes through with insightful bars.
“Realize, behind the revolution what we televise/Better look at where we are, better set your DVR/Stay woke folks ’cause we got them on the ropes/Don’t you take it for a joke and just move, vote,” he spits
