“If an officer ever stops you, always be polite and never ever run away,” sings the GRAMMY-winner, as Clinton nods along. “Promise momma you’ll keep your hands inside. Is it a gun? Is it a knife? Is it a wallet? This is your life.”

Blige then takes Clinton’s hand as she belts out the powerful line, “It ain’t no secret, no secret my friend, you can get killed just living in your American skin.”
