“I’m gonna get up on my bullshit for a second here. There’s a thing that happens on social media, whenever some - I moved from the west coast to the Midwest for a while, then all the way to the South. There’s a thing that happens any place south of the Mason Dixon line elects somebody bad or passes something bad, is that everybody outside of there rises up and goes, ‘man, fuck those Carolina assholes,’ no matter where it is, ‘man if they vote for this, that’s then end, burn these peoples’ houses to the ground.’
“They all do it, and they’ll argue with you with you about it, right? […]. What was the first state in the union to pass the gay marriage ban? California. But you didn’t hear one person go, ‘man, fuck California!’ No, of course, obviously this was the work of dastardly people, gerrymandering and doing bad shit that happens in every single state of the union. But if it happens to be where a lot of poor people and especially a lot of poor black people live, then ‘fuck that state,’ right?
“And when they do that, they are shoveling - Alabama, South Carolina, the percentage of black people they’re saying ‘fuck you,’ to […] is huge! You’re condemning the working poor when you say ‘fuck Alabama.’ You’re condemning the working poor when you say ‘Fuck Georgia.’ All those places, you take all these people and throw them under the bus to look like a self-righteous liberal, which makes us look how in the big elections? Bad, right?
“So I get really mad, right, I go, ‘you have never been to have never been to Alabama, fuck that,’ and I was thinking about that, and I go, ‘oh I have a song about Alabama!’”
