When just to breathe is a dying plea
Your freedom falls only skin deep
Out of reach like an American Dream
Out of reach like an American Dream
We can’t breathe…
We can’t breathe…
We can’t breathe…
We can’t breathe…
Breathe…
Breathe…
Melanin, I know on the other side when they see my face
Melanin and only melanin leave trace
They’ll step to protect their right to forget the debt that they owe my race
Suckle at the teat and they get a likkle treat like a lifetime in first place
All the innocent are gonna suffer when they gun out and nuh means to decide on why, while all them and the others will protect them, discard us, throw us at the back or under the bus, scream we’ll serve and protect not trust, stick to the colour guide, watch better be the right swatch and nuh care about us.
We can’t breathe…
We can’t breathe…
We can’t breathe…
We can’t breathe…
Breathe…
Breathe…
I left the crib in my white tee, yeah bitch I’m icy
The public think I’m thuggin, shots fired now my tee blooded
These fucking cops ain’t rushing a nigga dead they love it
Turn the body cam off while we calling for our mothers
BITCH I been feeling some evil deeds
I might kill a cop let the trigger squeeze
24 years years being black a scary thing but I still gotta die a legend if they come for me
Only care for us when we on a tee
We tired of singing songs I want a bullet in they head
Middle of the street that’s on everything fucking let me be
We can’t breathe…
We can’t breathe…
We can’t breathe…
We can’t breathe…
Breathe…
Breathe…
Black in America breaking the barriers
Cops killing us that’s serial
Land of milk and honey no cereal
Preaching the real
Politicians vote and passing the bills
You posting a square while blacks in the street getting murdered and killed
Rap industry we takeover for real
Driving While Black get you out of your deal
Killing the game left you out of the will
Writing this live from the City of Steel
Karens they lie you get Emmitt Tilled
Karens they lie you get Emmitt Tilled
Now how does that feel
Turning the tables you don’t get a meal
Seat at the table that eating for real
Officers kneel until you can’t breathe
Kaepernick kneel can’t play for a team
When just to breathe is a dying plea
Your freedom falls only skin deep
Out of reach like an American Dream
Out of reach like an American Dream
We can’t breathe…
We can’t breathe…
We can’t breathe…
We can’t breathe…
Breathe…
Breathe…
We can’t breathe…
