Mereba and 6lack split the song’s chorus, while Staples waxes poetic for two verses, leaving room for 6lack and a third verse before the chorus ends the barely two-minute track.
“I’d do life for your love, I would probably swing a knife for your love,” 6lack and Mereba sing on the chorus. “Go against everything right for your love / And I would probably man down them if they ever tried to stifle your love / Cross the line, I just might for your love.”
Queen And Slim features an ensemble cast, with director Melina Matsoukas making her feature film debut and Lena Waithe writing and co-producing the film. In addition, Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith front lead roles in the film, while the likes of Chloë Sevigny, Flea, and Sturgill Simpson make cameos as well. The film is scored by Devonté Hynes.
