Atrocity
Don't run, gotta fight
I'll protect you through the night
Kill us daily, in the light, In the light, in the light
So many lost, in the night
So cold, keeps me up at night
Let's Keep them shining in the light, in the light, in the light
Cell phones, video tape, he just took his Last breath
Why did you wait
Damn i shoulda done sum, now it's too late
Enjoyin ya privilege, isn't that great
I just lost a friend and I'm feelin irate
Thought we had a strong front
Why did we break
Death ain't on the table, get off my plate
Layin in my own blood, that ain't my fate
And You already got me face down
Knees on my neck, i can hear that sound
Only one thing on my mind
Get the up off me i can't Breathe
Pulse gettin low and it's dark now
Take ya Hands out ya pockets and help me out
Only one thing on my mind
Get the up off me i can't Breathe
They Killin us in these streets, death got my heart on freeze and we fired up
Colin cap can't take a knee, but you could pull ya gun on me that's up
Sick of my mother's cryin, watchin my people die and we had enough
Black man can't fall asleep, without getting 6 foot deep That's up
And If i should die, before i wake, i pray you pay for the lives you take
Was excited for the change, make America great
But it don't include us and it didn't include tray
Honey guess what? I got a kill today
Kill a black man they increase your pay
Happy when i saw blue cause it made me feel safe
Now ya knee is on my neck and it's feelin
Like hate
And You already got me face down
Knees on my neck, i can hear that sound
Only one thing on my mind
Get the up off me i can't Breathe
Pulse gettin low and it's dark now
Take ya Hands out ya pockets and help
Me out Only one thing on my mind
Get the up off me i can't Breathe
Shot down in the streets, no peace, sometimes i feel like i wanna fly away
Uh huh
Don't know how I'm gonna tell my kids
Daddy probably ain't gone be makin it home today
Uh huh
Sit back and wait for me to die, you were sent here to protect, but you wanna
Take my breath away uh huh
Kill me in front of my kids, cause the color of my skin, call my mother as i fade away
Yeah
Don't run, gotta fight
I'll protect you through the night
Kill us daily, in the light, In the light, in the light
So many lost, in the night
So cold, keeps me up at night
Let's Keep them shining in the light, in the light, in the light
I'll protect you through the night
Kill us daily, in the light, In the light, in the light
So many lost, in the night
So cold, keeps me up at night
Let's Keep them shining in the light, in the light, in the light
