I'm Not Black
I'm not black
And I don't know how it feels
But being judged by your color
Man that shouldn't be real
We all human, why we act like we not?
I can't fight for my rights, there's a chance I'll get shot
I'm not black
But I stand by their side
Imagine living your life
Being scared of outside
Don't wear a wife-beater, don't carry no chain
Don't hang with your friends
Cause you might feel the pain
I'm not black
But this system's corrupt
Make America great, made America suck
Now are own presidents calling people the thugs
Our silence is betrayal, so we gotta speak up
I'm not black
But I do feel the space
Between my brothers and my sisters and it's cause of our race
And America's supposed to be the land of the great
Where's the greatness in pointing a gun in our face
I'm not black
Yea we gotta make change
I can't breathe when you on me
I can't handle the pain (No)
Yea we gotta make change
I can't breathe when you on me
I can't handle the pain (No)
Yea we gotta make change
Step by step, yea we gotta make change (Yea)
Yea we gotta make change
I can't breathe when you on me
I can't handle the pain
Listen, what if you ain't have no father in your life
And your mamas working shifts every night
Plus your judged cause your skin isn't white
Now you know why they all wanna fight
It doesn't make any sense
Buildings burning down
Cause staying silent is a sin
And once we come together
Then the police begin
They gone shoot at the legs
Spray the mace in the face
Then they'll say that we bad
Cause we stand for our rights
But they stand with a badge
That's the shit that ain't right
I'm tryna fight for my life
I'm not black, but I hope we unite
Cause this wack
But I'll never lose sight, of what's right
But we must start over
Rebuild the system, try and make it better
Everyone screaming that all lives matter
But you can't accept the fact
That these black lives matter
I'm not black
Yea we gotta make change
I can't breathe when you on me
I can't handle the pain (No)
Yea we gotta make change
I can't breathe when you on me
I can't handle the pain (No)
Yea we gotta make change
Step by step, yea we gotta make change (Yea)
Yea we gotta make change
I can't breathe when you on me
I can't handle the pain
And I don't know how it feels
But being judged by your color
Man that shouldn't be real
We all human, why we act like we not?
I can't fight for my rights, there's a chance I'll get shot
I'm not black
But I stand by their side

I can't handle the pain
