Will Smith’s new album, "Based on a True Story," reflects on his controversial slap of Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars. In the opening track, Smith acknowledges the criticism he's faced, claiming he is "canceled" and addressing race in the context of his actions. The album features DJ Jazzy Jeff and touches on themes of resilience despite the scandal and a ban from the Academy. Smith candidly raps about feeling ostracized yet confident in his future, underscoring his journey back to public favor after the incident.
"Who the f-k Will Smith think he is? I ain't never going to forgive him for that s-t he did."
"I heard he won the Oscar but he had to give it back/ And you know they only made him do that s-t because he's Black."
"Took a lot, I'm back on top/ Y'all gon' have to get acclimated/ Won't stop, my s-t still hot/ Even though I won't get nominated."
"I'm human and I made a mistake and I'm trying not to think of myself as a piece of s-t."
