Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Would it be convenient
If he just rests in peace?
I saw his cousin crying, wondering
How you call the cops on the police
With a boot print on your shoulder
Face down in the street
Another precinct that's been rotted out
Another song of "I can't breathe"
I can't breathe
He said, "I can't breathe"
[Verse 2]
Oh, what a privilege
To hide behind a screen
Like biteless, barking dogs
We yelp on an ever-tightening leash
Another public execution
Under a greedy, would-be king
Another desperate, bloody anthem
A crying family has to sing
I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
He said, "I can't breathe" (I can't breathe)
[Verse 3]
I hope your ghost
Haunts all of our dreams
I hope you float like smoke
Over the blood machine
I hope you soak
Into the wick like kerosene
I hope it burns clean
How long will there be this song
Of "I can't breathe"? (I can't breathe)
I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
He said, "I can't breathe" (I can't breathe)
[Verse 4]
Oh, what a privilege
To pretend that we can't see
The chain, the whip, the badge, the gun
And now the ever-pressing knee
The knee we hired to protect us
The same knee he used to pray
The knee that bears the bruise from being used
To choke his life away
He said, "I can't breathe" (I can't breathe)
Mama, I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
[Verse 5]
I hope your ghost
Haunts all of our dreams
I hope you float like smoke
Over the blood machine
I hope you soak
Into the wick like kerosene
I hope it burns clean
[Verse 6]
I hope your ghost
Haunts all of our dreams
I hope you float like smoke
Over this blood machine
When they say, "Make it great again"
Is this what they mean?
Then let it burn clean
How long will there be this song
Of "I can't breathe"? (I can't breathe)
I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
Mama, I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
I can't
