Thank you.
I can't breathe, no
I can't see the sun in the light of day
I can't breathe, no, no, no, no, no
I can't see the forest for the trees
I'm suffocating, it's dark and I'm confused
Everywhere I look, my kind is in the news
Yellow tape, sirens, blood on tennis shoes
So many questions, interviews
So many t-shirts in the loo
Tattoos, I'll never forget Jews
Pouring liquor on concrete
Is this where man and God meet
When the police are rolling behind me
Telling me, since I didn't greet them kindly
I might be hiding something, maybe hide something
You can live another day and you can die for nothing
Consequence of the lives of colors
I ride with brothers and sisters
The unaccounted for
Consensus must have missed us
Down on the floor
Eyes in the sky looking for lore
They ain't even trying to hide
And cook it no more
I can't breathe
I can't breathe, no
I can't see the sun in the light of day
I can't breathe, no, no, no, no, no
I can't see the forest for the trees
The spirits of black lives endure the trepidation of injustice
Spread across the bare, fear-laced hands of insecurity
Poisoned the plates of ancestral history
Colonialism's juju soaked into the bloodstreams and spills of current black-on-black battery
Womanhood, a target of war, humanitarian injury
Innocent bystanders caught in the railway lines of your pathetic desperate search for
supremacy
As you resuffocate his gratefulness
Steal and break the rules of the world

Wander in the brightness of their light
Gun them down blindfolded
And hang her out to dry
Not only do you diminish your worth
But they rise
Like ordained prophets that fight for this cause
What we have will never be old
What we had will never be yours
We are the ones we've been waiting for
