Hey
Yeah, yea, yea
(Yea, yea, yea)
Mamas crying daily
(Crying daily)
Mamas crying daily
(Crying daily)
Their kids dying daily
(Dying daily)
I can't breathe
Can't breathe
Your knee on my throat
Knee on my throat
If you don't ease up soon
If you don't ease up
My soul will lift up
My soul will lift up
Soul will lift
Soul will lift
My soul will lift up
My soul will lift up
If you don't ease up soon
If you don't ease up
My soul will lift up
Soul will lift up
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Your knee on my throat
Your knee on my throat
I can't breathe
Can't breathe
If you don't ease up soon
If you don't ease up
My soul will lift up
My soul will lift up
Soul will lift
Soul will lift
Soul will lift

I wear a hoodie I die (Die)
Go for a jog and I die (Die)
Put my hands up and I die (Die)
My back turned I still die (Die)
Your hands on my neck til' I die (Die)
Your knee on my throat til' I die (Die)
Lately we dropping like flies (Flies)
Authorities doing the right thing (Thing)
That day may never arrive ('rive)
Racism deep in America ('merica)
A fact of life for black woman, man, or child (Child)
Getting justice for George (George)
Could help the rest of us stay alive (Stay alive)
Never mind the systemic exclusions
Built to keep us down
We just wanna' thrive
They get away Scot-free
We just wanna' stay alive
If they get away scot-free
How the hell imma' survive
Year after year we seeing the same thing
Blacks slain with no repercussions
Year after year we're saying the same thing
Mommas crying with grief overcoming
Seems like the end
Aint' never coming
Status quo just favors oppression
Police property (Property, property)
Burn it all down til' we get their attention
Getting away with crimes too often for me
Commander in chief divisive indeed
Using military force to ready a photo op
In the midst of police injustice

I can't breathe
Can't breathe
Your knee on my throat
Knee on my throat
If you don't ease up soon
If you don't ease up
My soul will lift up
My soul will lift up
Soul will lift
Soul will lift
My soul will lift up
My soul will lift up
If you don't ease up soon
If you don't ease up
My soul will lift up
Soul will lift up
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Your knee on my throat
Your knee on my throat
I can't breathe
Can't breathe
If you don't ease up soon
If you don't ease up
My soul will lift up
My soul will lift up
Soul will lift
Soul will lift
Soul will lift

We aint' asking for justice
No we Demand it
One down three to go
It's been ten days what more do you need to charge and hold em'
Make an example out of em'
Racist bigot killers
We cannot tolerate
Thank God all whites ain't' racist
Some outraged just like us
Step to forefront to fight the system
That's been ignoring us
Hate over empathy sympathy
Got us to where
We dealing with more deadly violent incidents
I can't breathe
Enough is enough
Peace love, unity
Could get us to a better place
Where police actually serves and protects no matter my race
And the law works no matter my race
Really we tired of America's definition of equal rights
I mean who are we kidding
We've never lived in one nation under God indivisible with liberty and just for all
Hear our screams and our cries
Its time to right all of these wrongs once and for all
Nine minutes is a long time (Is a long time)
It's this song about two times
Think about it, think about it
A knee on your neck for that long
It's murder, murder, murder, It's murder
R.i.p. George Floyd, r.i.p. Ahmaud Arbery, r.i.p. Breonna Taylor
Our hearts go out to you
This is got to stop

I can't breathe
Can't breathe
Your knee on my throat
Knee on my throat
If you don't ease up soon
If you don't ease up
My soul will lift up
My soul will lift up
Soul will lift
Soul will lift
My soul will lift up
My soul will lift up
If you don't ease up soon
If you don't ease up
My soul will lift up
Soul will lift up
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Your knee on my throat
Your knee on my throat
I can't breathe
Can't breathe
If you don't ease up soon
If you don't ease up
My soul will lift up
My soul will lift up
Soul will lift
Soul will lift
Soul will lift
Soul will lift
