Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Nah
Starting a war screaming
Peace at the same time
All the corruption injustice
the same crimes
Always a problem
if we do or don't fight
And we die
we don't have the same right
What is a gun to a man
that surrenders
What's it gonna take
for someone to defend her
If we all agree that
we're equal as people
Then why can't we see what is evil
I can't breathe
You're taking my life from me
I can't breathe
Will anyone fight for me
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
How do we cope
when we don't love each other
Where is the hope
and the empathy Yeah
How do we judge off the color
The structure was made to
make us the enemy Yeah
Prayin' for change
'cause the pain makes you tender
All of the names
you refuse to remember
Was somebody's brother friend
Or a son to a mother
that's crying singing
I can't breathe
You're taking my life from me
I can't breathe
Will anyone fight for me Yeah
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Will anyone fight for me
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh For me
Trying times all the time
Destruction of minds bodies
and human rights
Stripped of bloodlines
whipped and confined
This is the American pride
It's justifying a genocide
Romanticizing the theft and
bloodshed
That made America
the land of the free
To take a black life
land of the free
To bring a gun to a peaceful
fight for civil rights
You are desensitized to pulling
triggers on innocent lives
Because that's how we got here
in the first place
These wounds sink
deeper than the bullet
Your entitled hands
could ever reach
Generations and
generations of pain
fear and anxiety
Equality is walking
without intuition
Saying the protector and the
killer is wearing the same uniform
The revolution is not televised
Media perception is forced down
the throats of closed minds
So it's lies in the headlines
And generations of supremacy
resulting in your ignorant
privileged eyes
We breathe the same
and we bleed the same
But still we don't see the same
Be thankful we are God-fearing
Because we do not seek revenge
We seek justice we are past fear
We are fed up eating your shit
Because you think your so-called
black friend
Validates your wokeness
and erases your racism
That kind of uncomfortable
conversation is too hard for
your trust-fund pockets to swallow
To swallow the strange fruit
hanging from my family tree
Because of your audacity
To say all men are created
equal in the eyes of God
But disparage a man based
on the color of his skin
Do not say you do not see color
When you see us see us
We can't breathe
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
