B.R.E.A.T.H.E (I Matter Remix)
They look at me like I don't matter
They expect to be called master
This the same recurring pattern
And this ain't the final chapter
Cut out, the racist banter
Cut out, the constant slander
Provoke, you get the dagger
Want peace, you know the answer (Yeah)
This ain't a joke, this ain't a game
Anger flowing through my veins
Stabbed my back like Abel and Cain
You can't wash scars like a stain
And it really is a shame
So much pain I can't contain
It doesn't have to be the same
I matter too that's what I'm saying
(I matter too that's what I'm saying)
That's what I'm saying, that's what I'm claiming
(I matter too that's what I'm saying)
I'm claiming that, yeah
I got these scars that never fade
The pain is sharp just like a blade
So much lost and nothing gained
Left the past cause that's my bane
With no justice there's no peace
Excuses do not grow on trees
Rubber bullets will make us bleed
We've had enough you best believe
Imma make that change like MJ
Cause I have a dream like MLK
Imma put respect on their names
These legends that share my pain
It's crazy how cops have no shame
They feel guilt but don't take blame
Now lately I've gotten big strains
And day by day I kneel and... pray
Yeah...
Do I need to spell it out
B.R.E.A.T.H.E
The heaven gate is what I see
Oxygen is what I need
When I go to check my feed
I shouldn't see a killing spree
It's sad to see that this country
Doesn't even care bout me
They said we should go and leave
They said go back to guinea
I should leave instead of staying here to bleed
Ya feel me?
They look at me like I don't matter
They expect to be called master
This the same recurring pattern
And this ain't the final chapter
Cut out, the racist banter
Cut out, the constant slander
Provoke, you get the dagger
Want peace, you know the answer (Yeah)
I'm human too why can't you see
At home we both got families
They want me back home in one piece
Not as a body on the scene
Why is this hard to believe
When I've been tryna keep the peace
I matter too and that's on me
But even now
I Can't... Breathe
I Can't Breathe
(Even now)
(I Can't Breathe)
They expect to be called master
This the same recurring pattern
And this ain't the final chapter
Cut out, the racist banter
Cut out, the constant slander
Provoke, you get the dagger
Want peace, you know the answer (Yeah)
This ain't a joke, this ain't a game
Anger flowing through my veins
Stabbed my back like Abel and Cain
You can't wash scars like a stain
And it really is a shame
So much pain I can't contain
It doesn't have to be the same
I matter too that's what I'm saying
(I matter too that's what I'm saying)
That's what I'm saying, that's what I'm claiming
(I matter too that's what I'm saying)
I'm claiming that, yeah
I got these scars that never fade
The pain is sharp just like a blade
So much lost and nothing gained
Left the past cause that's my bane
With no justice there's no peace
