Bigger picture lyrics

Here’s my first example- “I find it crazy the police'll shoot you and know that you dead, but still tell you to freeze/Fucked up, I seen what I seen/I guess that mean hold him down if he say he can't breathe” Lil Baby discusses the dishonesty currently permeating the nation’s police force, grounds it by rapping in first person, and reinforces that police officers just seemingly don’t care about our lives.Īnother good segment is this one-”They trainin' officers to kill us, then shootin' protestors with these rubber bullets/They regular people, I know that they feel it/These scars too deep to heal us” Lil Baby provokes thought regarding both the militarization of police in America and the over policing currently running rampant through it. I’ll give you some examples of my favorite lyrics and other lyrics that I think are particularly poignant at this moment in time. Lil Baby combines his trap sound with conscious lyrics and really succeeds in creating a piece of music unlike any other he’s ever made. When compared to his other music, The Bigger Picture is truly the result of Herculean effort.

Then Lil Baby quickly takes over and just spits bar after bar. An eerie voiceover of a newscaster talking about protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death creates a very somber intro that ends with the words “I can’t breathe.” Right from the beginning, listeners can sense what’s to come. I’m even more impressed that he wrote the entire song by himself.

And I was really surprised that I did enjoy it so much! I love bouncing my head to Lil Baby’s other music, but it doesn’t come close to containing the depth this release does. While I think the lyrics could have been more nuanced and contained greater detail, l overall really enjoyed the song. That’s because the lyrics directly reference police brutality, COVID-19, race relations, a country divided, Lil Baby’s personal experience as a black man in America, and more. Many have called it a protest song, and I certainly would as well. Lil Baby recently released a track titled The Bigger Picture.
