Brave Black Kings

I can't breathe Ayo officer I can't breathe Mama Firstly You must all know I'm pro-black Secondly This is for my brave black kings Black queens Raising brave black kings Who can't seem to catch a break Every minute of their day Their life is at stake They walk outside The cops that's suppose to keep them safe Has hate all in their face Damn This is diaries of black men Damn Stories of my black friends The other day I switched my phone Another brother gone To a better place I looked up in the sky Wondered if God would welcome him with grace Since his life was taken all because of his race Never had a chance to find salvation Or repent all his transgressions I can't imagine how his mother feels As a black woman With dreams of having children I fear raising my son in this society Where equality don't exist for his community Having to teach him resilience in face of adversity White on Black crime has no justice Explain to him why they're so racist The justice system don't care about us The only love us when it's beneficial When we put money on their tables It's time we stop hiding behind the mask Our silence is no longer enough It's getting dangerous for us We used to be on our knees Working for them Now they get on their knees Kill us and walk free All these hypocrisies Racist tragedies Murder of black people Is pervasive Black people this is a moment for unity Let's stop killing each other Work together To stop their violence on our brothers Brothers Brothers Brothers You can break us down But you can never kill us all I can't breather You can break us down But you can never kill us all I can't breather No no Ayo officer I can't breathe No no I can't breathe You can break us down But you can never kill us all Mama You can break us down But you can never kill us all Ayo officer No no Mama No no Mama
