After several media outlets shared the song on Twitter, users were quick to point out that the title is pretty confusing and grammatically incorrect.

“Take a knee, my ass,” sounds like a fancy way to encourage yourself to sit down. https://t.co/jdoeeiIVQC

Yea. My interpretation is he is asking his ass to take a knee because he (for some undisclosed reason) doesn’t want to. His ass has a knee. Cowboys are weird. https://t.co/V5EIvgHl0o

I haven't heard the song yet but "Take A Knee, My Ass (I Won't Take A Knee)" is objectively one of the ugliest, most awkward looking song titles I've ever seen

Other people were taking jabs at the title for blatantly showing how racist and close-minded the artist is.
does anybody know if this guy supports taking a knee at NFL games

Can’t wait to hear “Take a Knee, My Ass” at the National Christmas Tree Lighting.

Yes he’s actually a huge proponent of protest kneeling. His nickname is Kneel McCoy. This song is in reference to something else.

I'm sure his next single will be "All Lives Matter (I'm a Racist)"
