After Charlottesville, I could not take it anymore…

New York emcee AWKWORD has decided to return to the fold after 9 months with a powerful new song titled “Heather Heyer (F*** Trump),” named after the 32-year-old woman who was tragically killed while protesting against a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, VA. It’s clear that he’s just as sharp as ever lyrically, holding no cut cards in regards to his feelings on the matter (and the powers that be, period):

Masks on our faces, no difference what our race is
Only race we face is, protection from our neighbors
What global meltdown? That’s what your aim is
You won’t get, through my door, motherf***ing racist
Raised fists! S*** on constitution pages
That don’t stop the cops from escorting all you babies
To get home safe; we shot, gassed and tasered
The whole world knows what our greatest mistake is

Enjoy “Heather Heyer” — produced by Teck-Zilla with additional cuts by DJ Wayne Ski — below and support the movement here.
