I Can't Breathe Lyrics

Tell em what it is what it is what it isn't

Degrading us to peasants

Tell me why they sending all my people to prison 

Oppression is a life time sentence

Like we fucking presents for them to buy

But my presence is here to try

To paint a better picture of blacks in the U.S.

People see right through us

The government acts clueless to the racial bias

No longer will you tie us

We starting race riots

Cause it's an everyday struggle to stay alive

Not slaves but we deprived

Of walking down street with a sense of security

But not like in the mall when they following me

Never known what it truly means to be free

So please tell me the fee we have to pay

How about taking our identity

Rise up rise up

The time is now

Like a Shaolin master we on the prowl

How profound

Gotta make our words hit ka pow

Limitless power causing mass corruption

Dark skin tone matched with assumptions

Screwed by the system, make it hard to function

Screwed by the system, make it hard to function

Death, tyranny and a pursuit for survival

Now please listen to me cause this here is vital

Black Lives Matter

Let's make that the title

Drowning now here comes the tidal wave 

In a whitewashed sea it's our turn to pave away

We're not far from slaves, another shot today say

Afri - Ameri

Where is the kin?

Cops only see skin to put 16 in

Yo I can't breathe

Young black in America, can't succeed

More black bodies piled up on my newsfeed 

While I scroll and plead for more humanity

Why are they killing us, acting so villainous,

Cops the antagonists

Just products of the ghetto engulfed in violence,

Consumed by the streets, and fear for the sirens

We working for the man that we see as tyrants
