Listen to T.I.'s 'New National Anthem' Feat. Skylar Grey

T.I. has teamed up with Skylar Grey on his latest song "New National Anthem" which is a politically charged track that is heavily inspired by the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, addressing the racism, injustice and police brutality in America.


"Bang red either blue selling hard and the white, live by the gun, never run from a fight. Trayvon in a hoodie, walking through the neighborhood he, didn’t do shit to buddy, he didn’t have to die did he? I guess it’s because his dad was a judge in the city,  they didn’t want him in the pen with the thugs that could get him. A jury of his peers said all was forgiven but touch one of mine, right or wrong, I’ma kill them. Fill them with the lead like they put in Martin Luther King’s head,  like they killed Malcolm X, Edgar Hoover did that. You can catch me in the hood where they shooting ni**as at." He delivers solid verses throughout the song which hit the mark and honestly it`s refreshing hearing rappers addressing topics that are very real, not based on selling a lifestyle that is very shallow.

Grey showcases her powerful vocals on the hook, singing "Home of the brave and free, Free just to murder me / Land of the beautiful, cursed by the hate we throw...."
