Tackling the topic of police brutality, Preme showcases his melodic prowess as he reflects over atmospheric production. “All I see is homicide, feel it when my momma cry,” he laments. “You know what the mission is, don’t know how I feel inside / We was always down to ride, if I slide my ni*gas slide.”

His observations continue into the second verse. “They hate to see a ni*ga on his feet,” he raps. “Probably why a Karen goin’ viral every week / That’s why the cops starin’ like food stuck in my teeth.” Despite the serious subject matter at hand, Preme keeps it moving with a subtle approach, highlighting the disturbing reality that systemic racism isn’t exclusively reserved to the United States of America.

I see it clear, they skippin’ real niggas like a leap year,
