Elsewhere, Skillz slammed Donald Trump and the NFL while big-upping Colin Kaepernick for his courage all in the same verse.
“Sean Spicer took an L / And then Trump started beefin’ with the NFL (he tweeting!) / I’m with Kaep, I got chu / Because you stood up bro and didn’t let them stop you,” he raps, adding, “The other players, I got to dock you / Y’all could have done something special but y’all chose not to.”
