What an awesome collaboration and great music video!

Thanks for sharing it with us!

“Close Your Eyes (And count to Fuck)” deals with the theme of police brutality against minorities. Mike (black) and Zack (latino) are both part of racial minorities that often face police abuse. They incite people to rebel against the law, resuming the song with the following line from Killer Mike’s first verse:

We killin' them for freedom cause they tortured us for boredom

It is to be noted that Mike’s father was a policeman, but he never wanted Mike to be a part of law enforcement as he knew it was rotten.

RTJ had Zack on a later track off RTJ4 I like too

Man, you better duck out, get the bag and then bug out (Uh)
Try to run home, you might run your luck out
'Cause just when your bases loaded
They'll roll a grenade in the dugout (You're out)
Earth folk, not a mellow bunch
We got our thumbs in the air like Hell or bust (Uh)
Look at who we done blessed with our trust
I don't think we'll be left with too much
Hand on my heart and my mind on my drugs
Got a Vonnegut punch for your Atlas shrug
