Will Smith has demonstrated countless artistic facets throughout his life. Once the American decided to focus on film and television, his short musical career was put on the back burner. Almost two decades later, he has made the decision to resume it in a big way with a new album, 'Based on a True Story'.
It was in 2005 when he created 'Lost and Found', his first and only album in music so far. For this new project, he wanted to have the help of Big Sean, Russ, Joyner Lucas and his son Jaden Smith. After being 'cancelled' by many Hollywood producers for his Oscar incident, Smith leaves a message to all of them on his album.
Will Smith has not forgotten what happened with Chris Rock, so in the first song of his new album, 'Int. Barbershop - Day', he wanted to talk about what happened at the awards gala. Among the mentions of that moment is a verse such as "you better not say his wife's name".
Lyrics of 'Int. Barbershop - Day', Will Smith's new song where he talks about the slap to Chris Rock
Will Smith is canceled.
You can't cancel any icon.
He walks around like he's invincible or something.
Don't mess with Will, he's the Fresh Prince.
Who the hell does Will Smith think he is?
And that guy is really crazy about how he raises his kids.
I'm never gonna forgive him for that shit he did (Boy, bye)
I mean, Will Smith used to be cool
He is still the best, he can fit your whole house in his pool
I don't know, I mean, he's rich but he's not rich rich
Boy, please
I don't even the last movie he made
Don't you 'Aladdin'? What about 'Men in Black'?
I know you've seen 'Bad Boys', I know you that (besides the soundtrack)
I heard it's bad.
I heard he won the Oscar but had to give it back
And you know they only did that shit to him because he's black
It was hard for me, I'm back on top
Everyone will have to acclimatize
I won't stop, my shit still matters
Even if I'm not nominated
