I can't breathe

[00:13.54] Nah

[00:19.04] Starting a war, screaming, "Peace" at the same time

[00:22.51] All the corruption, injustice, the same crimes

[00:26.02] Always a problem if we do or don't fight

[00:29.27] And we die, we don't have the same right

[00:32.76] What is a gun to a man that surrenders?

[00:36.27] What's it gonna take for someone to defend her?

[00:39.77] If we all agree that we're equal as people

[00:43.04] Then why can't we see what is evil?

[00:46.78] I can't breathe

[00:50.26] You're taking my life from me

[00:53.77] I can't breathe

[00:57.28] Will anyone fight for me?

[01:14.52] How do we cope when we don't love each other?

[01:18.02] Where is the hope and the empathy? (Yeah)

[01:21.52] How do we judge off the color?

[01:23.76] The structure was made to make us the enemy (yeah)

[01:29.02] Prayin' for change 'cause the pain makes you tender

[01:32.02] All of the names you refuse to remember

[01:35.52] Was somebody's brother, friend

[01:38.02] Or a son to a mother that's crying, singing

[01:42.52] I can't breathe

[01:46.03] You're taking my life from me

[01:49.53] I can't breathe

[01:52.77] Will anyone fight for me? (Yeah)

[02:07.78] Will anyone fight for me?

[02:23.77] Trying times all the time

[02:28.77] Destruction of minds, bodies, and human rights

[02:29.26] Stripped of bloodlines, whipped and confined

[02:32.02] This is the American pride

[02:33.77] It's justifying a genocide

[02:35.52] Romanticizing the theft and bloodshed

[02:39.52] That made America the land of the free

[02:41.27] To take a black life, land of the free

[02:43.52] To bring a gun to a peaceful fight for civil rights

[02:47.26] You are desensitized to pulling triggers on innocent lives

[02:51.04] Because that's how we got here in the first place

[02:54.02] These wounds sink deeper than the bullet

[02:56.79] Your entitled hands could ever reach

[02:59.52] Generations and generations of pain, fear, and anxiety

[03:03.79] Equality is walking without intuition

[03:06.27] Saying the protector and the killer is wearing the same uniform

[03:10.79] The revolution is not televised

[03:13.30] Media perception is forced down the throats of closed minds

[03:17.04] So it's lies in the headlines

[03:19.02] And generations of supremacy resulting in your ignorant, privileged eyes

[03:24.79] We breathe the same and we bleed the same

[03:27.51] But still, we don't see the same

[03:29.52] Be thankful we are God-fearing

[03:31.77] Because we do not seek revenge

[03:33.77] We seek justice, we are past fear

[03:36.78] We are fed up eating your shit

[03:38.76] Because you think your so-called "Black friend"

[03:41.52] Validates your wokeness and erases your racism

[03:45.51] That kind of uncomfortable conversation

[03:47.76] Is too hard for your trust-fund pockets to swallow

[03:50.78] To swallow the strange fruit hanging from my family tree

[03:54.27] Because of your audacity

[03:56.27] To say all men are created equal in the eyes of God

[03:59.78] But disparage a man based on the color of his skin

[04:03.26] Do not say you do not see color

[04:06.26] When you see us, see us

[04:09.77] We can't breathe
