American musician Joyner Lucas has released a damning new music, questioning the authority of God on the deaths of some of his industry colleagues and others who matter to him and the society.

The rapper’s latest track pays homage to Nipsey Hussle, XXXTentacion, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Eazy-E, Aaliyah, Trayvon Martin, Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson, while he gave hard knock to America’s number one citizen, Donald Trump and RnB singer R. Kelly amongst others.

The video of the song shows Lucas in a funeral setting at a church surrounded by pictures of those he wants God to bring back to life and those he wants God to take life from. He raps about not going to church, revealing he doesn’t go to church because he’s afraid of being judged. Obviously, the funeral was an exception.

“They say you never wrong, but you done made a few mistakes / ‘Cause you taking the wrong ni**as / Maybe you should trade / Trade us back all the real ones, remove the fakes,” he raps while the camera cuts to a photo of Suge Knight.

“Give us Tupac back and take that ni**a Suge,” he sings, referring to Suge Knight who’s picture was shown in the clip. “Give us Biggie, give us Pun / Give us XXX / Take that ni**a Trump with you, that’s a bigger threat, That’s too much power for a coward with no intellect.”

“Wondering why the f**k you take Nipsey Hussle from us,” says Joyner. “Damn, you took a true king, a true brother from us / This a fucking marathon, but they running from us.”

“I need you to give us back Martin Luther, take Martin Shkreli (Take!), Give us back Malcolm, take R. Kelly,” he continued.

Holding a bottle of Hennessy and bible,  drunk and sober Lucas confirmed he wasn’t trying to disrespect God, but he was confused without knowing what else to do. He ended the song asking for forgiveness and blaming the devil for taking his friends from him. “Father forgive me, for I know not what I do… I’ve been drinkin’, Lord forgive me, it’s my blood racin… I know this ain’t your fault, it’s the devil’s work.”
