Drowning

I just wanna hear myself think So crazy sometimes I'm just scared to blink My mind be racing stuck in my own head Am I chasing dreams or chasing bread Gotta watch my back from my own kind I'm scared And these cops to they out here they want me dead And the man want me to overdose on meds So don't ask my why I don't feel like getting outta bed Slippery slope and I am on the sled Fighting on these streets just for some cred They looking at me weird because my dreads Fit the MO so they call the feds Ptsd from my people dying on the news The media the devil so I'm hitting snooze So many nights from crying out/ all the blues They hate us We just wanna win and they want us to lose I'm drowning I'm downing I'm downing Society put money on my head Just because my skin don't look like theirs I get it no one said this life was fair Feel myself getting closer to the ledge We just out here fighting for some peace The hate still there they just don't where the sheets They say we animals and need a leash Just because we want equality Missed the stop sign now his gun is to my head Palms is sweaty voice is shaky scared I said black Lives Matter now he turning red Officer please don't shoot my hands is in the air I can't Breathe I can't breathe I can't Breathe I can't breathe I can't Breathe I can't breathe I can't Breathe I can't breathe I'm Drowning I'm Drowning I'm Drowning
