Bgives is an up-and-coming hip-hop artist based in Philly who seeks to engage culture with melodic tracks that speak to issues of racism, oppression, political commentary, faith, and centering life around Christ.

In his new song, Avocados, Bgives, and Namarah tackle topics like media and polarizing political parties while pulling the listener into the understanding that we are not all that different from one another.

In this rockstar music video, directed by Jomil Nazario, Bgives shows the light-hearted and comedic parts of his personality while playing into the Big Media archetype of the manipulation we receive from our large media sources.

BGives – Avocados – Lyrics

Verse 1:
People love talking talk like they really know
Twitter fingers got us all thinking that others don’t
Christians never really die: CW show
Anybody spitting fake news sure to blow
Taking time for some straight facts underrated
If its not bringing paychecks never say it
Chose a side do it asap even base it
On The line that they place at the top to name it

Media got us all in their pockets
Got us fighting while they stuffing they Wallets
And sell us products
Selling us lies make us look in despise
While they filling our eyes with things to make us go arye

They Educate us different like Classrooms to fonix
Roll up the menu so fast you like Sonic
Choosing your views like fast food, be honest
What you seen first (huh) got that vew hypnotic

You parking to eat and barking at me ironic
Mark up your feed with marks of the beast qua-non it
If Marxist beliefs are gods only beef I'm on it
Got me I'm pondering we been laundered the free and Comrade it?

Hook:
Everybody wanna talk about the drug trade
While they buying Avacados
White people love it when they on the front page
Talking wild about Chicago

Verse 2:
Everybody gotta platform now
Talking justice til they bag fall now
your black square really chasing clout, now
Your on a White fight looking to the ground

Why everybody these days fake woke
Looking to the other side So hateful
Tryna find the lies In everybody they quote
Never study or examine like it's take home
Everybody on the left hate Besos
While the right love him even if they stay broke
But both sides got prime give him pesos
So who really here deciding all our fates tho?

It makes no sense man we make no cents
Tell us not to own so we waist on rents
never taught us how to grow so we make no plans
Perk they interest give us loans so we make no dents (dang)

Hook:
Everybody wanna talk about the drug trade
While they buying Avacados
White people love it when they on the front page
Talking wild about Chicago

Namarah:
But the solutions easy
Why not see each one clearly
So many stories different but somehow the same thing
Set up to fight foe to foe
Why don't we walk toe with toes
Get out of bubbles
Wipe all the troubles
When we stand hand in hand
I wish we all would pay attention
Getting tired of the same old distractions
Avocado and mango trees growing
Eat the salad keep buying and selling
The folk been tired trying to tell ya
Play back the record for decade discussions
Honestly we're all done talking
Find the motivation to spark a reaction
Get up and go just go
Get up and go just go
Get up and go just go
Get up and go just go
