Trying to Breathe |
| Four hundred years we’ve been fighting for this |
| Living just to fight |
| We’re just fighting to live |
| It’s like we fighting for our rights |
| And a right to exist |
| Imagine how the world looks through the life of a kid |
| You don’t what we been through |
| Figure cuz we Black then you know what we into |
| Trayvon coulda been you |
| Breonna coulda been me |
| Yeah I’m just stating facts |
| Crazy how we say we love you |
| But you can’t say it back |
| Prayers feel different |
| When yo momma hopes you make it back |
| Getting pulled over by the cops |
| Seeing how they react |
| How you’re whole race against us |
| Knowing God gave us that |
| I’m not tryna change the world |
| Just tryna change the act |
| I just wanna feel it |
| Everybody treated the same |
| But I’m the realest |
| I can see how far we done came |
| We don’t deserve that |
| This life, we’re taking it back |
| You don’t know what it’s like to be Black |
| Can you blame us? |
| We been fighting for a cause |
| And they still make us die for respect |
| Can you blame us? |
| Tryna take a knee for some |
| And they still got their knees on our necks |
| We’re just trying to breathe |
| Breathe |
| We’re just trying to breathe |
| We’re just trying to breathe, ahhhhh |
| We’re just trying to breathe |
| Please Lord help us breathe |
| We’re just trying to breathe |
| Help us to survive Lord |
| Imagine walking down the street |
| Being followed and somebody approach you |
| ‘Cause they feeling like you don’t belong |
| A pack of skittles and some tea |
| Got him feeling a little intimidated |
| You ain’t even did n’un wrong |
| So we’re supposed to turn a cheek |
| When you’re preying on the weak |
| Got the wrong generation |
| We ain’t tryna hear no speech |
| We ain’t tryna hear you speak |
| We ain’t tryna see the hatred that you teach |
| Got the the whole nation bouta hit the streets |
| Ahhhh |
| I won’t be quiet |
| It’s only right that we riot |
| My ancestors done fought |
| And we fighting to stay alive |
| Big shoes to fill and I’m following right behind |
| Screaming Black Lives Matter |
| You know I’m covering mine |
| See the how come |
| What you know about some |
| Real revolutionaries |
| I’m following Malcolm |
| I support the cause |
| Y’all just do it for ya album |
| Tryna see results |
| I won’t stop until the outcome |
| Come |
| Can you blame us? |
| We been fighting for a cause |
| And they still make us die for respect |
| Can you blame us? |
| Tryna take a knee for some |
| And they still got their knees on our necks |
| We’re just trying to breathe |
| Ohhhhhhhhh breathe |
| We’re just trying to breathe |
| Trying to breathe |
| We’re just trying to breathe |
| We keep fighting, fighting a good fight |
| We’re just trying to breathe |
| Lord wrap us around your loving arms |
