Wale Addresses Racial Discrimination Through World of Black Privilege, Brings Awareness to Prison Conditions Amid Coronavirus in “Sue Me” Short Film Video

Wale has just released the video for “Sue Me,” featuring Kelly Price. The song is a celebration of Black culture, Black love, wanting great things for our people. Rooting for everybody Black. The video imagines a world opposite of our reality. Black privilege is alive as Wale makes statements about race and culture in his latest video.

The video was directed by Kerby Jean Raymond, and written by Raymond and Cameron Robert. The video follows Lucas Hedges for the most part, shows his living situation, neighborhood, and family life (with his dad being locked up). We see the roles reversed. Wale addressed the moment when the cops were called on two black men at Starbucks, racial injustice in laws, and also brought attention to prisoner conditions during the current pandemic.

I’m flyin’ with Lena, I’m ridin’ with Nina/ One write for the Chi, one right where I need her/ The funny thing is I’ll always be single, I love me some Logan, I love me some Issa/ I’ll never get either, Those women are queens, me? I’m a drunk, I’m a demon/ Heaven knows I’m a dreamer, I seen Taraji and Kelvin, always hope I could be that/ I fell in love with an actress actin’ like she don’t need me, Polarizin’ the sun, underrated again/ Show business will never love you the way you love it, You come and we go, they quick to forget/ So every bourgeois event I attend, I tell ’em this, Sue me, l’m rootin’ for everybody that black”

Lyrics Via. genius
