They say the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice Original human in the mirror all you see is the roots Nobody think about no clocks til time stops Karma a mothafucka I hope in hell that they rot Hi last name floyd first name George Ridin wit the homies made stops at corner stores Had a fony 20 that don't justify what 12 did to me Store owner called up MPD swiftly I'm in a panic, they think I'm being dramatic On the ground like a clown he puts his knee on my neck His partners standin by and he watchin me losin my breath I can't breathe mama I'm fina die can you help me please They don't give a f*ck that I'm down here suffocating 8 Minutes 46 seconds it was so deadly He's so heavy My breath is gettin shorter Died disappointed that people just watchin me with recorders My name Christian cooper, a bird connoisseur Got my life put at risk by a white womans lips Watchin birds in the trees Thought she was authority Said I'm calling the cops say a black man's attacking me Emmitt till new age chills that's a real fear foreal Yea them ppl still lynchin Man the shit just won't stop 2020 Black men hang in city hall parkin lots Robert fuller was murdered they say it was suicide... can't let em fool you like coons One week later laws kill his cousin name Terron Boone Genocide televised for all eyes on me all lies on me All eyes can see silence runs so deep The system is killing me and I cannot breathe BLACK LIVES RISE I can't even watch the birds in the trees without you calling police BLACK LIVES RISE I can't even Jog down the goddamn street without you killing me BLACK LIVES RISE I can't even lay at home in our beds they killin us in our sleep BLACK LIVES RISE My names Amaud Aubrey look like me you get killed Takin a jog down the goddamn street Luckily my murder got Caught on cam dash When I tried to run they pulled a shotgun I just saw flash Fought with all my might 2 Shots ended my life You damn well I ain't go out without a fight But let me finish This last one breaks my heart it was so senseless That's why you still see us marchin and there's still no justice My name is Breonna Taylor was well in my prime So beautiful so Devine But when I died my murder didn't get much of headline Cuz Ima black woman dead shot by cops while in bed Police killed me cuz of mistaken identity Arrested my man for protecting his own family Shot 8 rounds into me Dying in my hallway they step over my body And my soul barely clinging Shots in my ear still ringing I'm still breathing My life was just beginning CPR is what I'm needing everything is goin dark I'm just bleeding Involuntarily I'm sacrificing my life Gotta mobilize, and strategize as they still divide Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly Langston Hughes said hold fast to dreams for if dreams die Life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly Black lives rise The system is killing me and I cannot breathe BLACK LIVES RISE I cant even watch the birds in the trees without you calling police BLACK LIVES RISE I cant even Jog down the goddamn street without you killing me BLACK LIVES RISE I cant even lay at home in our beds they killin us in our sleep BLACK LIVES RISE The system is killing me and I cannot breathe BLACK LIVES RISE I cant even watch the birds in the trees without you calling police BLACK LIVES RISE I cant even Jog down the goddamn street without you killing me BLACK LIVES RISE I cant even lay at home in our beds they killin us in our sleep BLACK LIVES RISE
