I Can't Breathe

You won't catch me dialing 911 That's a joke where I'm from Can't trust that man with a gun So I stay on the run It's either hands up or handcuffs Stand up or man up Outnumbered Get ran up Ayo governments are shutting down Waves of information got me drowning now Raise the bar ain't no coming down Thunder claps heard the sound Warning shots earned a pound Warriors gather round Step and shatter ground Police shoot the innocent Watch the laws they implement They call it social commentary I just do this voluntary Honored by the honorary Son of Sam Son of Mary Find that to be Arbitrary Poisoned by the thoughts they carry Hope you feel the message like keyboard on a Blackberry During these times I can't help but write this Raise up your voice and stand up for justice Have you ever looked into the eyes of a coward? A scared human being that's ready to devour His mind is controlled by the man in the tower Lift the veil of evil and watch em all scour I try to empathize heed the words of the wise But we've been brainwashed by the wolves in disguise Economy supplies whatever's in demand So it's no surprise to understand their plan To spread fear cops here to serve and protect The rights that we get as citizens working for cheques But it ain't hard to tell that the system has failed Something's gotta change for people to prevail We get lost in roles acting all delirious Just another social psychology experience You give the man power watch em turn into a coward Hide behind a uniform acting all sour Won't catch me at the funeral I'm at the after hours Sending Molotov cocktails instead of flowers Try to burn the symbol what it represents Only to get bailed out and even pay their rent I hope by now you see what I'm alluding to White collar crimes tell me who's looting who? Stealing from all of us and that's including you So when the time comes who you turning to? Protestors turned out in droves. Many for the first time Many for the first time to call for change in a system they say discriminates against Black Americans
