I'm busy offending boomers on Facebook right now, and I need more ammunition.

It’s a dumb song but wtf is racist about it?

Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk Carjack an old lady at a red light Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store Ya think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya like

Cuss out a cop, spit in his face Stomp on the flag and light it up Yeah, ya think you're tough

Well, try that in a small town See how far ya make it down the road Around here, we take care of our own You cross that line, it won't take long For you to find out, I recommend you don't Try that in a small town

Got a gun that my granddad gave me They say one day they're gonna round up Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck

Try that in a small town See how far ya make it down the road Around here, we take care of our own You cross that line, it won't take long For you to find out, I recommend you don't Try that in a small town

Full of good ol' boys, raised up right If you're looking for a fight Try that in a small town Try that in a small town

Try that in a small town See how far ya make it down the road Around here, we take care of our own You cross that line, it won't take long For you to find out, I recommend you don't Try that in a small town

Try that in a small town Ooh-ooh Try that in a small town

It’s more just pandering to the fear that rural people have about cities being dangerous places, along with some pandering to the pro cop and 2A crowd.

I think it was more the footage used in the video than the lyrics themselves if I understood correctly.

I am slightly upset you made me read those lyrics with my own eyes though, they're quite bad.
