Don't Shoot Me |
| This country must understand |
| The reasons of these riots |
| The black community is placed in consistent situations |
| Attempting to protect ourselves from a system not created in furthering our |
| development |
| Like Dr. Martin Luther King once said, a riot is the language of the unheard |
| And we will no longer be kept silent |
| Don’t shoot me (Don't shoot me) |
| Officer, don’t shoot me (Don't shoot me) |
| I promise I got a family (A baby girl) |
| And stay up off my neck please (I cannot breathe) |
| Don’t shoot me (Don't shoot me) |
| Officer, don’t shoot me (Officer) |
| I promise I got a family (I got a baby girl) |
| And stay up off my neck please (I cannot breathe) |
| She can’t breathe, he can’t breathe, no, we can’t breathe |
| You say stop the violence, why you think we in these streets? |
| You say stop the riots, but don’t listen to our needs |
| Instead y’all take y’all knee and then proceed to the back of our necks |
| Too many my brothers and sisters is dead and now we livin' through them |
| Taking a stand, no, no, no, won’t hear it again |
| Fuck the system, fuck the world we live in, how y’all killing? |
| Tryna paint us out as villains, pray for children fixed up, don’t shoot me |
| Don’t shoot me (Don't shoot me) |
| Officer, don’t shoot me (Don't shoot me) |
| I promise I got a family (A baby girl) |
| And stay up off my neck please (I cannot breathe) |
| Don’t shoot me (Don't shoot me) |
| Officer, don’t shoot me (Officer) |
| I promise I got a family (I got a baby girl) |
| And stay up off my neck please (I cannot breathe) |
| I’m screaming don’t shoot me (Don't shoot) |
| Opps out here killin', man, this ain’t no move (This ain’t no movie) |
| These niggas is goofy (They goofy) |
| Just 'cause I’m black, they gon' try to remove me (Remove me) |
| Cop clutchin' a tooly (He clutchin') |
| Bitch, go toe-to-toe and get hit with this two-piece |
| Fuck 12, you a bully (Bully) |
| Pickin' us off one by one, this shit cruelty |
| How we supposed to stay calm when they treat us like target practice? |
| We don’t know how to act |
| Racist police been doin' this shit, they pull us over just to see if we black |
| Can’t run a stop sign without havin' an opp hop out and point the nine in my |
| back |
| I’m just tryna survive, my nigga, in the streets of hell with some demons, |
| get back |
| Don’t shoot me (Don't shoot me) |
| Officer, don’t shoot me (Don't shoot me) |
| I promise I got a family (A baby girl) |
| And stay up off my neck please (I cannot breathe) |
| Don’t shoot me (Don't shoot me) |
| Officer, don’t shoot me (Officer) |
| I promise I got a family (I got a baby girl) |
| And stay up off my neck please (I cannot breathe) |
| The longer the black community is not treated with equality and justice |
| continues to not be served |
| These riots and violent acts will maintain throughout our present and future |
| We need justice, we need peace, we need equality |
| We need help |
| Black lives matter |
| Enough is enough |
| The time is now |
| And I can’t breathe |
| Don’t shoot me |
| Officer |
| I got a baby girl |
| I cannot breathe |
