He continued, "Our ancestors built this country for free, OK? So, I'm just talking from the heart right now, but, one of my biggest issues is that this government, this current government, and country is built on a racist foundation. A lot of us know this. You know, you want to talk about systemic oppression; you want to talk about the justice system being targeted to people that look like me.

Big Sean also recalled a conversation he had with a friend about "some of the first police forces ever" in the south.

"Their main focus was to capture, apprehend, beat, discipline slaves, rip them apart from their families, keep them apart and God knows whatever else, you know? If they didn't do that, those officers didn't do that, they would be punished. So, that's what I'm saying—that's how deep it goes back. So, no wonder that a cop feels like they could kill a black man or woman and feel like it's a way of life."

He then said, "It's like this country has a big-ass gash right in the middle of it, where all its organs are, that's so deep and been there so long that it's just rotting from the inside."

"You know, we could put makeup on top of it and concealer and s--t to make it look like it's not so bad, but it is that bad and we're experiencing it in real time on a daily basis," he continued. "So, you want to talk about land of equality and freedom, I don't feel equal and I don't feel free."
