Damage (Pharoahe Monch song)

"Damage" is a song by American hip hop artist Pharoahe Monch, released as the lead single from his fourth studio album, P.T.S.D.

Media in conjunction with Duck Down Music Inc.[2] The Lee Stone-produced song is the final piece to Pharoahe's "bullet" trilogy in which he anthropomorphizes a slug fired with the intent to annihilate, and tackles the issue of gun violence.

[4] Produced and mixed by longtime collaborator Lee Stone, it represents the final chapter of his anti-gun violence trilogy of songs he has written from the point of view of a bullet.

[7] In "Damage", Pharoahe Monch addresses the tragedy of inner-city killings and mass murder, and mentions well-known gun slain victims — 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, 22-year-old Oscar Grant, 7-year-old Aiyana Jones, and 23-year-old Sean Bell.

[6][8] The bullet, in this chapter, is portrayed as psychotic and merrily lethal, something that gave the rapper pause for thought when the real-life shooting incident in Aurora, Colorado which occurred at The Dark Knight Rises theater made his song have a little more resonance than he intended.
