I can't breathe I can't breathe If I couldn't breathe would you let me If I couldn't breathe would you let me Mama I can't breathe Stuck in a land I can't leave My feelings is all on my sleeve I'm feeling so hurt and deceived I'm feeling so lost and so hopeless This pain I just find ways to cope with It's illegal for me to be outspoken They knee on my throat got me choking Cus all of these people is lying My momma at home and she crying Cus all of my brothers is dying And no one really even trying To find or figure a way out now Cus what really talking bout now Whole world heading south now Route 66 South Bound Whole world got us nervous My people really hurting Yea they don't deserve this But now our cities burning Slavery was null and void Then they went and killed Floyd Yea they really killed Floyd But like where'd we ever wrong ya Racism's lasting longer It goes then comes back stronger White people really on one Just cus the color of my skin Will this pain and torture every end Living this way just ain't right When did our life turn into a constant fight We struggling just to survive This no type of life This no type of life Cus I can't breathe Stuck in a land I can't leave My feelings is all on my sleeve I'm feeling so hurt and deceived I'm feeling so lost and so hopeless This pain I just find ways to cope with It's illegal for me to be outspoken They knee on my throat got me choking Cus all of these people is lying My momma at home and she crying Cus all of my brothers is dying And no one really even trying To find or figure a way out now Cus what really talking bout now Whole world heading south now Route 66 South Bound How can you hate someone that you ain't never seen And why do you always want to crush every single one of my dreams Do you like me face down bleeding on the concrete And why does it pain you so much to just see me succeed Do you like my position beneath you and you above me And why could you never find in your heart just to love me Always assume I'm out here gang banging straight thugging Hands up don't shoot even though I'm wearing a hoodie Hoodie on like I'm Trevon Out here grinding on the daily just tryna be a good son I don't know what my people ever did wrong Ever did wrong Cus I I just want to breathe Wipe these feelings off my sleeve Someone put my mind at ease I'm just tryna spread the peace This violence has to cease We standing up proud cus there ain't no backdown We saying it loud we proud that we black now If you ain't about it get back to the back now Lights off its a blackout Cus I I just want to breathe Wipe these feelings off my sleeve Someone put my mind at ease Yea I'm tryna spread the peace Yea this violence has to cease Cus I, I just want to breathe Dear God, all I ever wanted to do was breathe Never to be judged by the color of my skin But the contents of my heart within Even though we have these times of anger, hatred, and persecution Lord show us that you still are God And give us the strength to keep faith in you Despite our current circumstances That we may know that a change will come It will yea good talk
