I had been doing it since I was around 9 I think, don't quote me on that. (Yes, I have a list, you can laugh) After theatre not only is when I started writing more but also when I took gymnastics more seriously. Which is why that's still one of the things I want to become. Once I left the musical theatre world that's when I really took a pause and was like "Hold up what in the world do I want to do if I don't want to be an actress" (Remember I worked really hard at that for around 8 years) I had my main focus on acting for 8 years, I did other things on the side, but after removing that one huge thing I proceeded to think "Was all that for nothing since I wasn't going to pursue it?" I then thought "Well I have always loved writing stories what if I became an author?" I wrote a lot of stories and loved it. "It's bigger than black and white / It's a problem with the whole way of life / It can't change overnight / But we gotta start somewhere"- attempting to gather the millions of Americans to make a change of the racial injustice surrounding America.Īccording to Lil Baby, sales from "The Bigger Picture" will be funded towards The Bail Project and Black Lives Matter. Then, the rapper proceeds to reflect on his skin color and how when he sees "blue lights, scared and runnin." He later says, "That shit be crazy, they 'posed to protect us / Throw us in handcuffs and arrest us." With these words, Lil Baby is trying to emphasize the line between citizens and the police and how that line has now been blurred.Īmidst all these lyrics, Lil Baby had a clear purpose with this song. "I find it crazy the police will shoot you and know that you dead but still tell you to freeze / F***ed up, I seen what I seen / I guess that mean hold him down if he say he can't breathe." In these lyrics, Lil Baby is trying to make sense of the police brutality that he and millions of Americans have seen. He unfolds his feelings and empathy surrounding the racial injustice that he's seen throughout his life. Throughout the 4 minutes of the entire song, you can hear the anxiety in Lil Baby's flow and his 3 verses. Stream/Download Lil Baby's "The Bigger Picture" here: Follow Lil Baby Everywhere: Instagram.
