I Can't Breathe

They don't believe When I say that I can't breathe Police left over slave catchers still doing us bad 400 years of tryna take everything that we have Life and pursuit of happiness they killing us fast How they gone tell us stop reliving the past Ain't changed a thing young emitt till to Rodney king Niggas never get justice that's the way that it seem First responders always late to the scene Losing black lives circumstances unforeseen None of the body cams ever catch the truth Watching the public genocide of the black youth Whether we comply or not they still gone shoot This land ain't free the facts you just couldn't refute Land of the free and home of the brave Same land built upon the labor of slaves My fighting spirit that's my ancestors from the grave They want all the reparations nigga get paid They don't believe When I say that I can't breathe Been tryna smother out our voice so long If we all came together it would be more strong Generations of ptsd really holding us back They always wanna hold you down when you proud and you black Young leonidus hear my battle cry Need the answers like jadakiss still asking why Why yo foot on a neck of an unarmed threat Why you kill a nigga go home still collect a check Why my life don't matter my people owed a debt Why black lives matter make y'all so upset We already know the answer racism a cancer This country had too long tried cutting it out still gone Hates woven into society way too strong Knew it would play out like this all along Lord forgive the way they treat yo people Only ever wanted treatment equal
