I Can't Breathe
My people been lied on
Still can't keep a light on
Now they asking what side I'm on
Feeling like it's always been a battle
Got locked up and since that day I went and got a sidearm
Never thought I'd ever need to fire
Always had some shit I had my eye on
Knew shit was racist but shit goddamn
Can't even pretend no more
Already had seen some shit aye
Then again I'm about to end some shit aye
Fuck what they say fuck what they say
Another black man got shot now they're dead
How you gone say that he'd still be alive if he had just done what they had said
Goddamn nigga
They aint really fucking with us goddamn niggas
Try and protest they put a bigger round in you
Ain't no due process you in the ground nigga
Try to get some paper but it's top down nigga
Confederate symbols cause we southbound nigga
How can you ever expect me to pledge to a flag that has not yet restored what we had
Damn
How you gone say that you dont understand but you got the statistic
Oh now you gone say that I'm one of the good one's I beat a statistic
Still don't feel at home in this land
Still don't know what tribe that I'm in
Might get a chain and a benz
just like the chain that I'm in
You got white hoes and white friends
I got some friend's in the pen
I got a pad and a pen
Sing and dance they'll let you in
Dread's on my head Jordan's my feet
That don't mean I'm in a gang
But I promise if you come and you stepping to me imma let that shit bang
Clip in my hand strap on my hip
Niggas be violent
Difference between me and you
My history dont hide it
White folks be wilding
slavery for people they finding
Can't even hit up an island
All of these white folks they nihilist
Why the hell ya'll hiding knowledge
I don't wanna go to your college
You said I ain't one of your people
I have just seen too much evil
I got some stresses to think
I don't want my money in your bank
You know this is not your land
Bitch nigga I am not your friend
You made that shit clear from the jump
This is not a game you said this is what you want
So yeah imma give you what you want
Pull that shit out the fucking trunk
Nigga you is just a bunch of chumps
This is not a game nigga I know what you want
Remember cause my grandma saw it posted on the door
Remember cause you had my ass pressed up on the floor
Fuck all that peace that you say
Heard all them lies that you spray
Keeping them kids in a cage
Police ain't keeping me safe
Now I gotta reach in the safe
Keep all them bad guys away
And the bad guy today
Is the one reading the case
It's the one's locking us up
Knee in our neck and we can't fucking breathe
Tell me why you cannot see
There's a human right underneath
Still can't keep a light on
Now they asking what side I'm on
Feeling like it's always been a battle
Got locked up and since that day I went and got a sidearm
Never thought I'd ever need to fire
Always had some shit I had my eye on
Knew shit was racist but shit goddamn
Can't even pretend no more
Already had seen some shit aye
Then again I'm about to end some shit aye
Fuck what they say fuck what they say
