I Feel Tired (Icantbreathe)

This life ain't been easy
If I told you probably won't believe me
Less than human, that is how they see me
Ask for life, they'd rather see me bleeding
Sometimes it feels like I be dreaming
Watch my people suffer for no reason
Four centuries, it keeps repeating
At any moment they can stop my
breathing and I feel so tired (Ooouuuwooo)

I feel so tired
All we do is try
But they can't strip my pride
Cause we gotta survive

Look, I'm exhausted
Every single move I make I'm being cautious
See the black lives they take, I'm feeling nauseous
Media has made my face an easy target
Racist cop can't wait to place me in a coffin
Put us all in jail, America makes a profit
The first show and tells, was lynchings and burning crosses
Wonder how the hell we taking so many losses
Cause we been set back since slavery was abolished
Gave us the 13th but that just didn't fix enough
Slavery's ok, as long as I'm ya prisoner
Few moments in history we tried to pick our spirits up
And they just came and broke us down
But this time we ain't giving up
Don't forget Black Wall Street
They attacked our street
Black businesses got burned down
Minute one of our leaders stand up for the way you treat us
Police run in while they sleeping they get gunned down
Ain't nothing changed but the name on
the tombstone of the black kid that is slain
How we imprisoned Cosby
But Carol Donham admitted she killed
Till and she still free til this day
White got a slap on the wrist for cocaine
and black gets life, Judge said he abused it,
The war on drugs was just a war on us so the
difference is the color of the person that used it
Facts my brother
He my nigga I can say that because that's my brother
Take your words and reuse it to connect my brothers
No more power, you can't use it to attack my brother
Law enforcement is endorsing to combat my brothers
They see us they shoot
They act like they deaf til we riot and loot
And all we are asking is treat us like we
human beings like why is that so hard to do?
Excuse me if I sound pissed off but
don't shoot I'm not carrying a deadly weapon
But I am upset that I watched that man kneel
on Floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds
And you don't even have to be black to
support the movement all you gotta do is mention us
Even though the times have changed and they
ain't using rope no more they still lynching us

I feel so tired (Oouuwooo)
I feel so tired
