In a world that feels so divided, BJ The Chicago Kid is hoping to bring everyone together with his new track “The People.”
“We’ve got to get stronger / Stronger as the people / We’ve got to get smarter / Smarter as a unit / And watch out for our children / Because they are our future / Appreciate our women / Because they bear our fruits,” he sings in the first verse.
The song, co-written by Jairus Mozee, was inspired by Martin Luther King, Jr. and other civil rights activists.
BJ went on Twitter to confirm that “The People” isn’t an official single, but rather an act of love.
“The People” is not my new single. Presented with a beautiful opportunity to team up with @TIME to represent our people. Thank you guys for the love and support.
