Black Lives Matter

Lyrics

I can't breathe
 I can't breathe
 Breathe
 I can't breathe
 Yeah, this a revolution in our time everybody's fighting
 Change coming, yes
 That's why it's an acronym for riot
 Everybody has a voice, don't you dare stay silent
 If you say nothing, you are an accessory to violence
 Let these words dry the tears of my people that are crying
 We can bring back hope, but not people that are dying
 This is what happens when the people you've oppressed
 Ask fo change in a country that they built, but you ignored and deny it
 This for Sandra Bland, George Floyd, and every single family
 Police brutality has intervened in and destroyed
 Couple bad cops can't define all you other boys
 So every good cop needs to stand up and make some noise
 Black, white, Asain, doesn't matter cause we can't avoid so let's all
 So let's all come together, join hands and, yes, get annoyed
 At people who believe racism makes sense
 In a country built off minority slave work employed
 Nobody's born racist, man, it's something you learn
 Deep-rooted in your brain from the day of your birth
 I think it's time that we repair all of the bridges we've burned
 And let love out of our hearts onto cheeks we've turned
 Spread love, show love, lets get rid of this curse
 Don't wait for anyone to act, man, you go first
 400 years wasted, let's get rid of this hurt
 'Cause that's the only way we'll ever see peace on earth
 I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
 I can't breathe
 Breathe
 I can't breathe
 Change is what we really need
 Cut me open
 Cut you open, red's the color every single human beings bleeds
 Let's come together cops, citizens, and in between
 And rally for the rights of everybody in humanity
 Black, blue, white, green
 Playing for the same team
 I'm not MLK, but boy that doesn't mean I can't dream
 Black lives matter shouldn't anger you
 Or make you scream "all lives matter"
 'Cause we aren't treated equally
 Remember when we were kids and didn't see color
 And when we played in kindergarten, and I called you my brother
 Then we grew up, and they taught us we should hate on each other
 Even though we one in the same, and we all came from our mothers
 I hope y'all understand
 Hate is not a trait it was learned, man
 Equality is the quality we need inside this earth, man
 Give and receive, it's the karma that you earn, man (its Dax)
 I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
 I can't breathe
 Breathe
 I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
 I can't breathe
 I can't breathe
 Breathe
 I can't breathe
