I Can't Breathe Lyrics

You won't catch me dialing 911

That's a joke where I'm from

Can't trust that man with a gun

So I stay on the run

It's either hands up or handcuffs

Stand up or man up

Outnumbered

Get ran up

Ayo governments are shutting down

Waves of information got me drowning now

Raise the bar ain't no coming down

Thunder claps heard the sound

Warning shots earned a pound

Warriors gather round

Step and shatter ground

Police shoot the innocent

Watch the laws they implement

They call it social commentary

I just do this voluntary

Honored by the honorary

Son of Sam Son of Mary

Find that to be Arbitrary

Poisoned by the thoughts they carry

Hope you feel the message like keyboard on a Blackberry

During these times I can't help but write this

Raise up your voice and stand up for justice

Have you ever looked into the eyes of a coward?

A scared human being that's ready to devour

His mind is controlled by the man in the tower

Lift the veil of evil and watch em all scour

I try to empathize heed the words of the wise

But we've been brainwashed by the wolves in disguise

Economy supplies whatever's in demand

So it's no surprise to understand their plan

To spread fear cops here to serve and protect

The rights that we get as citizens working for cheques

But it ain't hard to tell that the system has failed

Something's gotta change for people to prevail

We get lost in roles acting all delirious

Just another social psychology experience

You give the man power watch em turn into a coward

Hide behind a uniform acting all sour

Won't catch me at the funeral I'm at the after hours

Sending Molotov cocktails instead of flowers

Try to burn the symbol what it represents

Only to get bailed out and even pay their rent

I hope by now you see what I'm alluding to

White collar crimes tell me who's looting who?

Stealing from all of us and that's including you

So when the time comes who you turning to?

Protestors turned out in droves. Many for the first time

Many for the first time to call for change in a system they say discriminates against Black Americans
