Every day I pray for the next generations minds,
I can’t breathe…
A generation of social influencers
Slaves of a new kind,
I can’t breathe…
Let the media tell it
We are lead to believe we are free,
Freedom of speech
Freedom of religion
Freedom of self
I can’t breathe…
But those born with a flesh like mines that’s just an illusion to make us comply,
I can’t breathe…
They bind our hands and rest their knees on our neck then say we are resisting arrest
I can’t breathe…
Open your eyes for these devils do not rest,
Black Mother’s and Father are laying to rest their young,
I can’t breathe…
Black Son’s and Daughters are losing their Mothers and Fathers
Death from natural causes –
Fear, Hate, and sickness of the mind
I can’t breathe…
Another Son struck down by those sworn to protect and serve for committing the crime E.W.B (Existing While Black)
I can’t breathe…
Facts watered down and sugar-coated,
I can’t breathe…
You see my independence started on the 19th of June 1865, that’s 89 years after the 4th of July,
History is told by the winners, the losers are silenced because the dead don’t speak,
American History but not my ancestor’s story,
28 days out the year to speak on Black culture
400+ years yes, plus years because it’s still thriving,
I can’t breathe…
We take to the streets and parade for Justice and Peace but the cries of the oppressed fall on deaf ears,
So we burn and riot, your buildings can be replaced but Black lives can not
All lives matter some conditions apply, all men are created equal but lady liberty isn’t blind
I can’t breathe…
Take a knee during the national anthem and you holla it’s unamerican,
Take a knee on the neck of black Americans Mr Policeman we can’t breathe, please please let us up we can’t breathe…
Slip knot around the neck get the camera phones out,
We can’t breathe…
We can’t breathe…
I… Can’t breathe…
