I can't breathe
400 years, no 40 acres, no mule just
Cruel, unjust rules made by fools, thus
Implanted rules in our schools so they could school us

Rule us from over the eyes is where the wool must be removed
Cause they know just what fuels us, but they scared to duel us
Who standing on that stool, us, who make everything cool, us
Make they women drool, us, they say that we can't swim

But who be jumping in that pool, us
They wanna be us, but they don't wanna see us
So they beat us and mistreat us
And lock us down and leave us

And when one does step up and they do try to free us
They get locked away before they ever get a chance to see us
They built up America, they got us for our labor
They quick to stare at us like they did us a favor

It wasn't fair for George Floyd, for Breonna Taylor
Who could've helped him breathe cause she was an EMT
And it's hard to see how far are we
When Amad Aubrey was just jogging

See these scars will bleed cause the wounds are still open
In this land of the free we still hoping
Black, black man jogging, causing no problems
Gets gunned down by his son and his father

And it would've went unsolved if no one had saw it
Whole world saw it, got thrown in the closet
Until another causing by the woman who's falling
Dead by eight shots up in her own apartment

You've seen the flaws in it, you know the cause of it
If you got the target then how is she still targeted
Days later, over a petty case of forgery
George Floyd would be on the ground

While a member of the force would be mishandling him forcefully
Fortunately somebody recorded it
While he forced his knee for nine minutes yelling I can't breathe
They mad we fighting, you know that the right's in it

You know something ain't right when you know there's mostly whites in it
I care about struggle and I care about the peace
But if it does mean that then defund the police
We built up America, they got us for our labor

They quick to stare at us like they did us a favor
It wasn't fair for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor
Who could've helped him breathe cause she was in the EMT
And it's hard to see how far are we

When Amad Aubrey was just jogging
See these scars will bleed cause the wounds are still open
In this land of the free we still hoping
