Skinny Deville, Fish Scales and Buffalo Stille — better known as Nappy Roots — have delivered a lyric video for “Blind Faith,” a song that speaks directly to the current turmoil in America.

With production from 808 Blake and smooth vocals from blossoming singer Lando Ameen, the song finds the veteran Hip Hop group offering their soulful, southern perspective about perseverance as the country continues to protest and riot in the name of George Floyd.

Nappy Roots explained in a statement to HipHopDX, “During these trying times of uncertainty our humanity and faith are being put to the test. ‘Blind Faith’ is a song in direct reflection of our willingness to overcome these obstacles. According to most, ‘Blind Faith’ means having complete confidence in someone, or something without any reason to do so.

Hip Hop Demands Justice For George Floyd As Nationwide Riots Erupt

“This is where the problem begins. While there are many solutions to a problem, we make an honest attempt and plea to listen to our inner selves to help find these answers. The world we live in is ever-changing and we must try our best to positively contribute to the human race.”

What’s the end result…

If I get it how I live, what happens to my soul?

I can’t look back, or I’m a turn to salt…

Yesterday is in the past, today’s not my fault
