Surely you're not that high that you consider crap or shit hop to be singing.
Gee not like Metallica didn't have an album "Kill Em All" and a song called "Seek And Destroy"
Not like Eric Clapton had a song with lyrics, "I shot the sheriff".
Not like Motley Crew had a song called, "Girls Girls Girls".
Not like Warrant had a song called, " Cherry Pie", fyi "cherry" refers to the vagina. Not used much as a term these days, but that is how "cherry" started out referring to sexy women.
Did you even bother to read the lyrics? You may not like the genre, I get that. But that has nothing to do with the POSITIVE message he was conveying in "No Lives Matter".
The song is about how basically those with money are dividing the races and classes, and if we all stick together we can defeat them.
Metallica, "Seek And Destroy"....... A couple lines from that song, "Running, on our way hiding, you'll be dying, a thousand deaths."
A couple of lines from "No Lives Matter'
"We're all on the same side"
And "They prosper off of the divide".
Ice T is simply saying while blacks are still hurt worse by economics and the justice system on average, he wants everyone to fight together. When he says "No lives Matter" he is pointing out that the top 1% doesn't widely care enough even about poor rural and rust belt whites.
