가사

(I can’t breathe… they gon’ kill me
They gonna kill me man…)
 
The concept of equality is a lie
The color of my skin make it hard for me to survive
I’m dealing with this hatred deep inside
For this matrix we inside
Its 2020 I’m still dealing with racist
That hate that we alive
And it hurt me we to ignorant
To see they straight then we divide
So focused on building places that we can thrive
Empower one another put the hatin’ beef aside
Look, Black men we still in war outside
Couldn’t help it
When I watched them kill Floyd I cried
Frustrated, killin’ all our soldiers
Reality, television still in all our focus
I don’t wanna be another rest in peace tat
Cause the laws chose my neck to rest his knee at
And my prayers and condolences to the family of
Breonna Taylor murdered but no officers arrested
This is lawless
We protested this is life in America
When they shoot us cause they scared of us
Marchin’ looking for justice
But them people never cared for us
I’m dark skin racism is certain for me
I’m living in a pessimistic purgatory
You heard the story
 
Don’t shoot…
They already got me handcuffed on the flo’
Laying faced down but you give me some mo’
That’s why we keep on screaming fuck the police fo’
(Fuck the police fo’)
Don’t shoot…
I’m tryna to make it back home to my kids
Instead I’m being shot
Don’t even know what I did
Bad as you wanna kill me
That’s how bad I wanna live
( Is how bad I wanna live)
 
What about my children
What the hell can I tell them
When they scared of police
That keep asking for peace
I’m teaching my son
How to act in the presence of the law
As a young black male
But his scared as can be
Got a question if the color of his skin
Is enough to breed hatred
From a gun wielding racist
Who thinks it’s right to shoot ****
For absolutely no reason
Unarmed and black they wanna see us bleeding
I say if they not with us
They get rolled over
We pressing bout white privilege
They give cold shoulders
They country in conflict
We give no soldiers
Practice group economics
Give what’s our the most focus
If we can keep pressing
Til it’s justice for Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd
Breonna Taylor, Justin Howell, Jamel Floyd
We never forgot about Mike Brown, Tamir Rice
Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Sandra bland
Philando Castil
It’s too many lives lost
Them rounds get fired off
They kill them in cold blood
And all they get is fired or time off
They mock us in demonstration
And probably defend the hatred
And elected a bigot for president
Was the biggest statement
I see I’m staking claim to a stolen land
A hostage in the land of the free
That’s how we manage to be
I feel like being black put the token on me
Your pardons I’m jogging
I’m a artist only don’t shoot
 
Don’t shoot…. they already got me handcuffed on the flo”
Laying faced down but you give me some mo’
That’s why we keep on screaming fuck the police fo’
(Fuck the police fo’)
 Don’t shoot…
I’m tryna to make it back home to my kids
Instead I’m being shot, Don’t even know what I did
Bad as you wanna kill me
That’s how bad I wanna live
( Is how bad I wanna live)
 
Listen, as long as our skin’s black police guns flex
Used to kill us with only guns now it’s knees on necks
In danger to lose your life
When no crime been done
Because Linsey and Alison keep callin’ 911
Now you reaping the storm
Beefin, no keepin the calm
Black people sweeping the city street
And seeking reform, pressing politicians
Hoping they redesign those frames
What’s the point of tearing a statue down?
If minds don’t change?
What’s our limit?
This been happening in Houston for a minute
We never prevented until we get solution oriented
So it’s back to protesting
Sir, please let us live we begging them not to take
A life they didn’t give
In these serious position
We live and vote is frivolous
You think this country can handle another 4 years of this
(Hell nah)
Divine judgment comin’ down real hard
Black folks don’t matter to you
But they matter to God
Feel me
