I Can't Breathe (feat. King Vvibe) [Live]

People flippin' out, I hear a lot of gunshots
Everything's in flames and it just won't stop
Something's in the air and I know it's stank
It's not the ordinary man who I have to thank
There were riots way before 2020 came around
Unarmed man gets downed, people burn it to the ground
Police brutality's the same wether it's LA or Newark
No accountability cause nobody's got heart
Media praise police as if they were gods
Same media frames rioters as unruly mobs
Focusing on the chaos to boost their ratings
All this sensationalism is really frustrating
Like we're fighting for change yet nobody uses brains
To figure out the ones who are truly deranged
Racism is a weapon corruptin' innocent minds
The real danger is facism but people are blind

I can't breathe
Get your knee off my throat, I can't breathe
Stop beating me up, I can't breathe
Get your hands off of me, I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Get your knee off my throat, I can't breathe
Stop beating me up, I can't breathe
Get your hands off of me, I can't breathe
I can't breathe

I scream my name out, tell the cop that I can't breathe
He got his foot up on my neck, now it's a crazy scene
And I'm just a black man just tryin' to do his best
Yo fuck the police, I have to say it with my chest
They got they camera on, they got they gun on their hip
They rock the same color, talkin' about a gun and a clip
They talkin' about, we gon' serve and protect
But that ain't what they been doin'
Cause they keep their gun straight to my neck
Why you think I walk in the buildin' demandin' respect
I'm a black man so I ain't playin' with all of the rest
I keep it real and I know I'm runnin' drills
This ain't no army but it's different how I'm servin' all these skills
Did you read me my rights, I don't think so
That just means that I'm free to go
I ain't got no time for no talkin' bro
Keep it real, in this rap game, yeah I'm lyrical
But all you fuck punk police, it's so pitiful

I can't breathe
Get your knee off my throat, I can't breathe
Stop beating me up, I can't breathe
Get your hands off of me, I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Get your knee off my throat, I can't breathe
Stop beating me up, I can't breathe
Get your hands off of me, I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Get your knee off my throat, I can't breathe
Stop beating me up, I can't breathe
Get your hands off of me, I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Get your knee off my throat, I can't breathe
Stop beating me up, I can't breathe
Get your hands off of me, I can't breathe
I can't breathe
