Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All I do is run, and run
I grew up in a world where the kids with a mother and dad
Looked up to the man, them with guns
And the fact that it's normal is nuts
Men are living for lyrics and party songs
Community thinks that we're poison
We made girls hold guns like Lara Croft
And I know what your thinking to say
But you ain't never felt half of the tension
In a sentence it's harder to mention
So I write lines like Bart in detention
And jealousy is what made enemies
But generally starts with your brethren's
Man, I'm tryna tell the youths about choice
Same guys that we had no part in electing
Man jump off road, they wanna judge man
Same man say, free my G's
Can't ever tell my young boys trap
I ain't cool with the gas like PYG
So God take the wheel, I can't function
And God give me sight, I can't see
God lift this weight, I feel pressure
And God give me strength, I can't breathe
[Verse 2]
Can I breath?
With all this weight on my chest, can I breathe?
With all this hate on my head, can I breathe?
I'm still lost on my way to success, can I breathe?
Can I breathe?
Can I breathe?
With all this weight on my chest, can I breathe?
With all this hate on my head, can I breathe?
[Verse 3]
I believe in this person you ask me to be
But I told you, I'm blind and I'm weak, on my knees
I'll lead if you set me free
Give me vision to see
[Verse 4]
All you do is talk, and talk
About a life that you never did live
And a road that you never could walk
All you do it talk and judge
Fuck your plan, have you every put a corpse in mud?
Covered in black like the angel of death
Came and kissed my neck, you talk
About a script that you never could write
And a life that you never could sort
Fuck your plan, all you do is talk and judge
But you don't know circumstance
South London's like the Garden of Eden
And that House of Commons where the serpents dance
I stayed in contact with God
Even though my mind lead astray
I was fighting through
Way before Deliveroo came on ends
We had green on wheels, that's a bike with food
Everyone would ask, Dave, had you grown up fast
Can you tell me what you wanna be?
I know my fate, but ever since late
I've been tired on the way, struggling to breathe
And obstacles came, my path got covered in flames
Risk had me cutting from Jakes
Slipping like I'm running in rain
[Verse 5]
So can I breathe?
With all this weight on my chest, can I breathe?
With all this hate on my head, can I breathe?
I'm still lost on my way to success, can I breathe?
Can I breathe?
Can I breathe?
With all this weight on my chest, can I breathe?
With all this hate on my head, can I breathe?
[Verse 6]
I believe in this person you ask me to be
But I told you, I'm blind and I'm weak, on my knees
I'll lead if you set me free
Give me vision to see
