No, my life will never be expendable
Redefining what we deem acceptable
We need justice nothing else is sensible
We remember, pain is unforgettable
In a country divided
A system meant for safety becomes heavily one-sided
And if the pace is kept we soon see death so absent-minded
Maybe the world would be more equal if we all were color-blinded
Freedom of praise but if you praise Profit Muhammad
They stop you at your gate assumingly assume you’re bombing
Beneath the surface every Faith has got something in common
I pray that God’s Country isn’t Godforsaken, Amen
(In Shaa Allah)
I think of children of color
Like my cousins who I love more like my sisters and brother
Will they live the life they love while supporting one another?
Will the world that they grow up in be accepting of others?
Look
And Spanish-speaking young Hispanics
The other kids uncomfortable cause they don’t understand it
They claim that immigrants are ruining our greatest land but
Your prejudice and racism causes way more damage
I can't breathe
Where’s the human decency?
America is suffocating me with its knee
I can't breathe
I’m running out of steam
America is chasing me to shoot me on the street
I can't breathe
What a scary place to be
When coming home at night isn’t always guaranteed
I can't breathe
Hatred flooding in the streets
We’re drowning in the poison everyone in disbelief
I can't breathe
And another thing to know
The difference is in experiences
And listening’s how to grow
My Mama raised on privileged snow
My Dad was slinging all this dope
This country dealing hands slipped two white Queens to row three Kings in boats
Damn
Metaphorically speaking
America’s just a shipwreck and it’s gradually sinking
People of color lay in bed at night unsettled and unblinking
I wish racial equality was more than wishful thinking
You can acknowledge it or not
And if you do then use the voice you’re given by your God
We stand for something greater and each other’s all we got
Remember George Floyd while we running with Ahmaud
In Ferguson our hands raised high while we walk (Brown)
We pray for Garner’s mother keeping Eric in our thoughts
We walk instead of drive to remember Walter Scott
Wearing hoodies on the way to 7-Eleven down the block (Trayvon)
He was only seventeen
Skittles and Arizona Tea
Saying prayers for the Martin's
And some for the Arbery's
He was only exercising
Now we exercise our rights
Uphill battle to the mountaintop
And gracefully we fight
Not with violence and defiance, but be peacefully defiant
With collected voices tireless, and we recognize His guidance
Resist from starting riots, we’re not threatened hearing sirens
With a message so loud, there’s no way we can be silenced
I can't breathe
Where’s the human decency?
America is suffocating me with its knee
I can't breathe
I’m running out of steam
America is chasing me to shoot me on the street
I can't breathe
What a scary place to be
When coming home at night isn’t always guaranteed
I can't breathe
Hatred flooding in the streets
We’re drowning in the poison everyone in disbelief
I can't breathe
No, my life will never be expendable
Redefining what we deem acceptable
We need justice nothing else is sensible
We remember, pain is unforgettable
