The tweet comes from that link, so if the embedded video doesn't work, just go to the link and watch it there.

Isn't that a little problematic?

(63,912 posts)9. what is the title of the song?
oberliner
(58,724 posts)10. The title of the song is "Move Bitch"
Here are some of the lyrics:
Move bitch, get out the way
Get out the way bitch, get out the way
Move bitch, get out the way
Get out the way bitch, get out the way
Move bitch, get out the way
Get out the way bitch, get out the way
Move bitch, get out the way
Get out the way bitch, get out the way
Oh no, the fight's out
I'mma 'bout to punch yo lights out
Get the fuck back, guard ya grill
There's somethin' wrong, we can't stay still
I've been drankin' and bustin' too
And I been thankin' of bustin' you
Upside ya motherfuckin' forehead
And if your friends jump in
"Oh girl", they'll be mo dead
Get out the way bitch, get out the way
Move bitch, get out the way
Get out the way bitch, get out the way
Move bitch, get out the way
Get out the way bitch, get out the way
Move bitch, get out the way
Get out the way bitch, get out the way
Oh no, the fight's out
I'mma 'bout to punch yo lights out
Get the fuck back, guard ya grill
There's somethin' wrong, we can't stay still
I've been drankin' and bustin' too
And I been thankin' of bustin' you
Upside ya motherfuckin' forehead
And if your friends jump in
"Oh girl", they'll be mo dead
The marchers are substituting the word "Trump" for the word "bitch".

(63,912 posts)11. well. I don't like the way it sounds originally because it threatens women with
violence, but applied to Trump, well, I understand the rage in the lyrics...

(63,912 posts)13. That's disgusting. Over the top disgusting...
oberliner
(58,724 posts)14. Agreed
A good number of the songs that Ludacris is known for have pretty repugnant lyrics in my view (especially with respect to women).
