The 50-year-old rapper and singer Kid Rock has used a fiery political anthem littered with criticisms of today's sociopolitical climate in his new song, We the People released on Monday. The singer has managed to slam President Joe Biden, his chief medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci, media outlets like CNN and TMZ and the Black Lives Matter movement all in his new song.
The Grammy-nominated singer sings, "Wear your mask, take your pills, now a whole generation's mentally ill. But COVID's near. it's coming to town. We gotta act quick, shut our borders down/ Joe Biden does, the media embraces/ Big Din des it and they call him racist."
Kid Rock mocks the idea of lockdown and pointed out how Biden restricted some travel from countries where COVID ran rampant whereas Trump tried to block all immigration from non-white countries. His new song features numerous chants of the political slogan "Let's Go Brandon" which is a code among conservative Republicans to express a more vulgar sentiment toward Biden.
However, the song also has lyrics of unity and that goes like, "If you down with love and wanna make things better, all we gotta do is just come together. Weather the storm and take my hand, then follow my lead to the promised land." The song lyrics also included an excerpt of the preamble of the U.S. Constitution: "In order to form a more perfect union, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America."
The singer himself described his new song in a Facebook video, "We the People" as the song about all the craziness going on in our world in the last few years and the politics and the polarization and social justice. He said, "You know, constantly for just being a Trump fan attacked in the media day in day out." He also noted how his 25 date tour could be his last one saying, "I want to be at my peak for this tour because I really don't know for the unforeseen future if we'll do a big tour again."
