Eminem shouts out Colin Kaepernick in new track
Eminem included a line about Colin Kaepernick in his latest release, 'Untouchable', a song about police brutality, racism and the question of why exercising the right to protest makes one considered unpatriotic.
"So we don't need all your crooked police peace officer offerings
Just keep marching, til' we reach congress
But they gonna say you're tying to take an irrational stance cause you try to slander the flag
But somebody has to be the sacrificial lamb
So they call it a Kaepernick tantrum if you don't stand for the national anthem
We raised it, you better praise it or you'll be made to feel like a traitor, we'll
Treat you like Rodney Dangerfield
Home of the bravest still, racist spills
So the whole nation feels like a plantation field
In a country that claims that it was foundation on based on united states ideals
That had its Natives killed
Got you singing the Star Spangled Banner to a piece of cloth that represents the land of the free that made people slaves to build"
Eminem has been a longtime supporter of Kaepernick - he mentioned him in a freestyle performed earlier this year at the BET Hip Hop awards.
