I Can’t Breathe Lyrics

Verse 1:
The world getting out of hand now
Walked in the church, gun sounds, now its man down
Church people on the ground, white boy killed 9 but they telling us to stand down?
White people no different from the black, but yet we the reason why they call it Chiraq
Lemme calm down man, I'm getting upset
But how would he feel with some bullets in his neck
Fuck a gun, Fuck a badge, Fuck a cop
They'll never understand till they ass get dropped
How you gonna but a vest on a white bout but,throw a girl on the ground like a damn toy
That shit fucked up now,how white people roam free and we get strucked down
Who you think is gonna fall when its gun sounds?
A black momma gets a call cause her son drown
He in a pool of his blood with the sun down
When its black on black crime they don't come around
They put the weed and the drugs in the black town
So we can purge on each other in the background
But white people got the money counting stacks now
You got it worst in the world if you black now
Almost discouraged if you black now
When you try to stand up they push you back down

Chorus 2x
I can not breathe no I can't breathe
MLK's dream remains a dream
Killing our young ones on the street
How can you live so peacefully

Verse 2:
Young nigga put your Glock down ayye
You don't wanna get shot now
And now you running from the cops now
Man that shit got to stop now
The violence is over with,We had enough of it
Stop tryna be tough and shit, before you get cuffed and shit
If you white then you good, if you black then you bad
Man, this shit is so sad
I fear for my life and my family, my friends, and my mom, and my dad
Shit! I can never be a dad though
Shit! What imma bring em' to the world for?
So he can feel the heat of a four four?
A couple tips aiming at his afro?
So we can get robbed at the corner store and have a oppositon beating at the back door?
You have to see the people die that you care for
Why is it black versus black? This is the wrong war
You only want what they want you to know
Then they make shit up when the shit gets exposed
They kill a black kid in he middle of the road
But 16 shots i not as far as it goes

Chorus 2x
I can not breathe no I can't breathe
MLK's dream remains a dream
Killing our young ones on the street
How can you live so peacefully
