Gary Clark Jr: protesto contra racismo e Trump em novo clipe e música

O músico de blues rock Gary Clark Jr divulgou, na última quinta-feira (10), um videoclipe para a sua nova música, "This Land". A faixa fará parte do álbum de mesmo nome da canção, que será lançado em 1° de março.

De acordo com Gary Clark Jr, tanto a música quanto o clipe de "This Land" fazem um protesto contra o racismo nos Estados Unidos, especialmente na gestão do atual presidente Donald Trump. Na composição, Clark Jr diz que, "agora que tem dinheiro, 50 acres e um carro no meio de um país de Trump", seu vizinho "mal pode esperar para chamar a polícia para ele".

O refrão, de acordo com o músico, foi construído a partir de uma frase que ele já ouviu no passado: "Corra, negro; corra, negro; volte para o lugar de onde você veio".

Confira, a seguir, o clipe de "This Land" e a letra completa, em inglês:

Paranoid and pissed off
Now that I got the money
Fifty acres and a model A
Right in the middle of Trump country
I told you, "There goes a neighborhood"
Now Mister Williams ain't so funny
I see you looking out your window
Can’t wait to call the police on me

Well I know you think I'm up to somethin'
I’m just eating, now we're still hungry
And this is mine now, legit
I ain't leavin' and you can't take it from me
I remember when you used to tell me
