Metro Boomin has premiered a music video for his 2022 song, “Walk Em Down (Don’t Kill Civilians),” which features 21 Savage and Mustafa.
Directed by Gibson Hazard, the visually captivating video is both a cinematic and chilling masterpiece that displays how gun violence affects the community.
The clip opens with a voiceover from Gucci Mane who says, “We represent destruction, nig**a. Death, mayhem, murder and madness, ni**a. You try me, you gon’ die. You try to score us, you gon’ die.”
Although the lyrics clearly speak of taking out the opps, it still sends the message of not taking innocent lives.
21 Savage raps, “My brother down the road with a ‘xtendo on his shank/ Felt like I can do whatever, never say I can’t/ I won’t move off my emotions, I’ma always think/ Tracker on his car, catch him at the light and bang.”
The track then changes to soft piano strokes and Mustafa starts singing, “This hood sh*t don’t matter/ But when my ni**a die, somebody gotta answer/ Told him put his gun down, And he didn’t make it to another November.”
