After several media outlets shared the song on Twitter, users were quick to point out that the title is pretty confusing and grammatically incorrect.
When your song title is so confusing you need the Cliff’s Notes to it in parentheses right after. (Song title is stupid.) https://t.co/92SADdGs4l

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

Wait, so is his ass taking a knee? Because he won't? Take the knee? https://t.co/1FPJi51y7b

The original title for this song was: "I won't take a knee, but maybe my ass will. (hold on, I'll ask it)"

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

Ok I’ve thought about it for several hours and the correct way to put this in print is “Take A Knee? My Ass!” https://t.co/9H2F55dhg9

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

Has any one heard the song Take a Knee, My Ass (I don’t care about people of color) by Neil McCoy?

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)"
