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 our people that are crying We can bring back hope, but not the people that are dying This is what happens when the people you've oppressed Ask for change in the country that they built, but you've ignored and denied This is Sandra Bland, George Floyd, and every single family Police brutality is 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, Asian, doesn't matter cause we can't avoid So let's all come together, join hands, and just get annoyed At people who believe racism makes sense In a country built on minorities, 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 these bridges we burned And let love out of our hearts onto the cheeks we've turned Spread love, show love, let's 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 Resicolor every single human being, please Let's come together, cops, citizens, and in between Rally for the rights of everybody and humanity Black, blue, white, green, playing for the same team I ain't M.O.K., but boy, that doesn't mean I can't dream Black lives matter, should an 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 weren't 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's the quality we need inside this earth, man Give and receive, it's the karma that you earn, man I can't breathe I can't breathe I can't breathe I can't breathe I can't breathe Breathe I can't breathe
