I Can't Breathe |
| What else is left? |
| They ain’t tired of bein' violent? |
| Look at how they killin' us, they show us how the feelin' us |
| Lynchin' us in broad day, look, that ain’t real enough? |
| Take it in our own hands (What?) |
| 'Cause it’s so hard to be a Black male, a Black man |
| We don’t have a Black chance (Yeah) |
| Visions of these Black boys hangin' (Yeah) |
| But down in my hood, you see these Black boys bangin' (Look) |
| At a traffic stop, they really got your ass aimin' (Yeah) |
| I could really die, I ain’t paranoid, baby (I'm not) |
| Starin' at my son, I really know that this affects him |
| They violate my rights, so how I’m gon' protect him? |
| (How?) |
| Caught up in a rage and I’m tired of protestin' (Tired) |
| Got us so stuck, our development arrested |
| And I don’t have the answer (Nah) |
| No, I’m not the answer (Nah) |
| We don’t have the cure, and we probably not the cancer |
| What we 'posed to do when our enemy attacks us? |
| Slidin' on my gloves, gettin' ready to get masked up (Yeah), dear Lord (Woo) |
| Dear Mama, hate to see you cry (Yeah) |
| All you wanted from your son was to see him fly (Yeah) |
| But now they got him on a slab and I know you feel bad (It do) |
| 'Cause it’s killin' you to see him die |
| And all I heard him say was |
| Please, I can’t breathe |
| He got his steel on my neck, I can’t breathe |
| They puttin' pressure on my chest and I’m cuffed to the back |
| Dear Mama, think they killin' me, I can’t breathe |
| I think they chokin' me to death, I can’t breathe |
| I guess I’m the one next, I can’t breathe |
| How many shots do it take? |
| How many officers to hate? |
| Dear Lord, I need a break 'cause I can’t breathe |
| Now tell me what to do, do I try harder? |
| (Do I?) |
| Do I give in to the cause? |
| Do I die of murder? |
| (What I do?) |
| All this footage that we’ve seen, it’s a viral horror (Damn) |
| We still livin' Sean Bell and Eric Garner (Uh-huh) |
| 'Cause they so diabolical (What?), forty-one, I’ma do (Yeah) |
| Niggas in the hood now askin' me what I’ma do (What?) |
| Sayin' if I move, then, homie, we gon' ride with you (Yeah) |
| I been chasin' money, now I’m thinkin' what if that was you? |
| Let me think (Hmm) |
| Cops shot eighty, killed my aunt |
| White men still livin', they killed Trayvon (Damn) |
| We saw those racists chase down Ahmaud (We saw it) |
| Look how they do George, that broke my heart (Livid) |
| Fuck it, Jesus ain’t comin' (Woo) |
| See if they like us with these sticks with the drummin' (Let's go) |
| Enough enough, man, we already runnin' (Yeah) |
| What can we lose? |
| Shit is already crumblin' (Yeah) |
| Dear Mama, hate to see you cry |
| 'Cause all you wanted from your son was to see him fly |
| But now they got him on a slab and I know you feel bad |
| 'Cause I know it’s really killin' you to see him die |
| And all I heard him say was |
| Please, I can’t breathe |
| He got his steel on my neck, I can’t breathe |
| They puttin' pressure on my chest and I’m cuffed to the back |
| Dear Mama, think they killin' me, I can’t breathe |
| I think they chokin' me to death, I can’t breathe |
| I guess I’m the one next, I can’t breathe |
| How many shots do it take? |
| How many officers to hate? |
| Dear Lord, I need a break 'cause I can’t breathe |
