“If you didn’t know me and you heard this song, at the very least you would see that I’m about family, I’m about tradition, I’m about legacy and heritage,” Bun B says of “This Is What We Do,” his contribution to Apple Music’s Freedom Songs 2022, an exclusive collection of covers and originals celebrating Juneteenth. “And that you should be, too. Because Juneteenth is not just—obviously, it’s an African American historical event, but it’s also just American. Juneteenth is a way of acknowledging, ‘Yes, this happened in America. Yes, we started the process of dissolving it, but it was a very slow and steady process that is still not fully formed.’ We always have to be aware of that.”
