Aldean denies the claims that 'Try That In a Small Town' promotes gun violence and takes aim at the Black Lives Matter movement, calling them 'not only meritless, but dangerous.'
After Aldean released “Try That In a Small Town” in May and its accompanyingvideo on Friday, it was criticized for promoting gun violence and taking aim at the Black Lives Matter movement.
The track features the lyrics: “Cuss out a cop, spit in his face/Stomp on the flag and light it up/Yeah, ya think you’re tough/Well, try that in a small town/See how far ya make it down the road.” Aldean later sings on the song, “Got a gun that my granddad gave me/They say one day they’re gonna round up/Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck.”
