Dear officer, I'm begging you please, Get your knee off my neck, I told you I can't breathe. This is fucked up, that's why we scream "No Justice, No Peace," That's why we pump our fucking fist and say "F*ck The Police." Man, I bleed for my people, all the brown and the black, And you sit there and laugh, and try to put us on our backs. You're a pig, you're a snake, you ain't ain't shit without your badge, And I say this for every single person who's been harassed. F*ck you til I'm dead, then I'll see you in hell, This is for all the innocent people you tossed in that jail. You treat me like an animal, trapped in a cell, And why the f*ck they got their phones out, somebody come help. Push this muthafucker off, I can't breathe and it hurts, Oh you think it's funny huh, wipe that muthafuckin' smirk... Off your face, and all I taste, is this concrete full of dirt, I ain't a killa but if I could, you'd be riding in a hearse. They say you protect and serve, I say that you shoot and kill, So I can bet my life that I'ma probably die right here. You got my people shook, going to sleep at night scared, And the American dream just became a nightmare. I can't breathe, I need air, I see the sky turning dark, You have a badge and a gun, but you have you have no heart. And if I die then it's on, you gonna let the riot start, And the black and brown are gonna tear your ass apart. And f*ck the president too, on Twitter making them threats, And that's the muthafucker that this country wants us to respect. Man, I'm running out of breath, get your foot off of my neck, And I bet you're gonna tell them that I tried to resist arrest. This is for Rodney King, Sean Bell, and Oscar Grant, This is for Mike Brown, and those who never had a chance. This is for Trayvon, and Aumad Arbery, And every other innocent man we've had to bury. This country is a cemetery, and they're killing our rights, They used to just take your freedom, now they're taking your life. It's a blood sacrifice, bring that darkness to light, And you can kill me but I ain't going out without a fight. Man, I'm losing my sight, and I ain't feeling too good, And I swear I would do a little more if I could. Peace to all the raza, and everybody in the hood, Please don't let me be misunderstood.
