I.C.M.I.C.B.
I cannot move no I cannot breath
I cannot move no I cannot breath
I cannot move no I cannot breath
I'm telling the truth man why can't you see
What if the same thing does happen to you
That's happen to me
Well then will you see
Shit Id do anything just to be free
Shit Id do anything just to be free
I got me a kid
I got me a wife
I got me a crib That mean everything
And I'm the provider so sorry your honor
Whatchu gonna do when you give me a bid
Or how about Johnny 
When you shoot me right in the back
For something I ain't even did
I'm tryna free
I'm tryna be free
I'm tryna be free
I'm feeling like Django
I got me my seat at the table
I'm tryna be all I can be
I ain't got no halo But neither do you
So why does you're say so mean much more than me
You might be more stable
But that's cuz your able to walk around daily Just knowing you free
(You nothing like me)
(see non what I see)
(Forever my people as tough as can be)
And why is it rare for us in our city to know of a business thats owned by the blacks
When all of our product is way better anyway
That should be sold for you all cross the map
But they will not let us be great
A million at steak
I bet its gone slip through ya hand Three fifths of a man
Yea that was your plan
I Bet you had no clue how tall we would stand
When you were telling us back in the day that you never had use for a nigga with sand
And then you would sell us so far up the river
That there was no chance to see my fam again
Let's look at the issue at hand
You do what you want, we only could do what we can
The past does repeat
Before I go sleep I pray we don't ever go through that again
No I cannot move no I cannot breath
I cannot move no I cannot breath
I cannot move no I cannot breath
I'm telling the truth man why can't you see
What if the same thing does happen to you
That's happen to me
Well then will you see
Shit Id do anything just to be free
Shit Id do anything just to be free
He cannot move, he cannot breathe
Something I'd never once thought that I'd see
Got no idea what its like to be you
Since I was young It was home of the free
But what does that mean
We not treated evenly
They see I'm white
They look at you differently
They say I'm free
They tell you they need ID
If it was mine
They'd say that im good to leave
Look at him laughin, hand on his gun
Can't believe what the country's become
All lives matte, boy you sound dumb
They ain't the problem, we are the ones
Killing so many
Ignoring the hope
The rich getting plenty
Ignoring the broke
Things can't change if my people won't
Can't say "Ik how it feels", when I don't
Can't say I get it, Ik what's it's like
That wouldn't be right
Look at me white
What do I know about having to fight
Or being in fear for my life
What do I know about cops
And daily harassment, questioning me out of spite
They pulling you over, speak to them nice
They shining their lights
And gripping their pipes
Every person that they took had a life
Had a father, a sister, a wife
Had a nephew, a niece, a uncle or brother
Its about time we start paying the price
Had a nephew, a niece, a uncle, a brother
Its about time we start paying the price
He cannot move no He cannot breath
He cannot move no He cannot breath
He cannot move no He cannot breath
He telling the truth man why can't you see
What if the same thing does happen to you
That's happen to Him
Well then will you see
I bet he'd do anything just to be free
I bet he'd do anything just to be free
I cannot move no I cannot breath
I cannot move no I cannot breath
I'm telling the truth man why can't you see
What if the same thing does happen to you
That's happen to me
Well then will you see
Shit Id do anything just to be free
Shit Id do anything just to be free
