I Can't Breathe
Hear the cries of the people
The pain of victims
You see how we living
Taking our lives
Man y'all are murderin'
You killing me
You scared of me
Then we get mad and protest
Using your power against us
Talking bout we can just trust you
We can not trust you
Talking about justice
This is not justice
We are Americans
Fuck the skin
Its what's within
Hand on the Bible
Spittin' these lies
Don't get fooled by wolves in sheep skin
I can not breathe
I can not breathe
Oh
I can not breathe
I can not breathe
Let me go
I can not breathe
I can not breathe
Oh no
I can not breathe
I can not breathe
Let me go
They say they do it to protect us
Through pepper spray and tear gas
You think they really care about us?
They only care about the broken glass
The louder we are the more attention we get
So scream out his name and the others that fought for this
Why'd you take him?
Why did you break him?
The countless other lives that you've taken
Defiance
Of those who are silenced
Your silence will drown out the sirens
Compliance
Of those who keep hiding
Your silence will drown out the sirens
Who started the fires
You got the nerve
Protect and serve
Y'all are just liars
My hearts on the floor
Drowning in sirens
We were so patient
Hiding in silence
Yeah we was quiet
But now that we loud
You attacking the crowds
Are you proud
Trynna take my power
Punkin' us down
You acting like cowards
Families are crying
People are dying
I can not breathe
I can not breathe
Oh
I can not breathe
I can not breathe
Let me go
I can not breathe
I can not breathe
Oh no
I can not breathe
I can not breathe
Let me go
The pain of victims
You see how we living
Taking our lives
Man y'all are murderin'
You killing me
You scared of me
Then we get mad and protest
Using your power against us
Talking bout we can just trust you
We can not trust you
Talking about justice
This is not justice
We are Americans
Fuck the skin
Its what's within
Hand on the Bible
Spittin' these lies
Don't get fooled by wolves in sheep skin
I can not breathe
I can not breathe
Oh
I can not breathe
I can not breathe
Let me go
I can not breathe
I can not breathe
Oh no
I can not breathe
I can not breathe
Let me go
They say they do it to protect us
Through pepper spray and tear gas
You think they really care about us?

I can not breathe
I can not breathe
Oh no
I can not breathe
I can not breathe
Let me go
