For Pete's Sake

Chiefs cornerback Bashaud Breeland shares an excerpt from his new rap song

The timing of this may seen strange, but Chiefs cornerback Bashaud Breeland shared a snippet of a new rap song just two days after being arrested in South Carolina.

Breeland posted part of the song on his Instagram account, and the video appears to have been shot in Kansas City.

In the unnamed song, Breeland mentions Clemson, being a fourth-round draft pick in 2014 and being suspended. However, it’s not known if that was a four-game suspension that was expected from the NFL this fall or the one-game suspension he received in 2015 for marijuana possession.

Here is part of the song:

I would never hurt you. No. Never

Remember in the draft, I fell you, can you get me?

I fell in the draft, based on fabricated mention

Got caught with the gas, then they put me on suspension

Afraid of my past, can’t go back to average livin’

Cause I became a dad before I asked to be

Couldn’t go to class, had to get the cash

So I left school just to get the currency

Now is where I’m living currently

Now my baby girl having good dreams, no worrying

No discouraging, only flourishing, good nourishment

A Washington Post story from the 2014 season said Breeland had exceeded expectations in his rookie NFL season in the nation’s capital.

“Breeland authored a strong body of work at Clemson, and many projected that with one final year of experience, he would rank among the top cornerbacks in the 2015 draft, a likely first-rounder,” Mike Jones wrote at the time. “But the 22-year-old Breeland elected to forego his senior season, citing a need to provide for his family, most notably his now-17-month-old daughter, Jaelle.”

Another interesting line from the song: “Can you be mad at me when you ain’t know me?”

Here is the song:
