Can I Breathe?

Dont expect any fucking mercy from me If you don't try to understand that what you do hurting me We built the land you claim is yours tell me whats in it for me? Besides the racism and killing you ain't willing to see Listen, you aint affected 'cause you privileged The average black man always on the other side of the cops hit list You want the truth then come and listen If you ain't speaking up then I guess it's about time we burning bridges No shit that we reacting 'bout some shit that happens every day, every year Ever since you stole us from our homes and fucking brought us here Just to fear people who we thought were meant to save us You can't expect our people to be peaceful when they hate us I'ts sad that everybody loves the culture But when It's time to fight for the ones who made it they falter My daughter loves to listen to your music But your black so when I see you in the streets I grab my holster So can I breathe? Dear lord can I breathe? He never said its 'gon be easy But we 'gon make it best believe me So can I breathe? Dear lord can I breathe? He never said its 'gon be easy But we 'gon make it best believe me So best believe me See every time we fight back we losin' numbers If all lives matter why are we the ones who always going under? We at the point where we need equity to gain equality The act of taking care of those in need and those in poverty Its audibly a fact we can't do this alone Not every white person accountable for the sin of a soul So lets embrace the ones that love us to achieve the same goal And warm the hearts of those who feelin like the world is so cold We didn't start this war, be we gon' end it Well fight together for freedom and independence For every color and difference without acceptance We fight for justice cus living is still a blessing So can I breathe? Dear lord can I breathe? He never said its 'gon be easy But we 'gon make it best believe me So can I breathe? Dear lord can I breathe? He never said its 'gon be easy But we 'gon make it best believe me So best believe me
