I can’t breathe was the last words he said Forced to the ground with a knee to his neck Cuffed behind his back face smashed against the road Another horror flick but we’ve seen this episode As he’s laying on ground, gasping for that last breath Trying to avoid a slow but almost certain death Black women if you ever doubted ya power A grown man calling for his momma in his darkest hour Speaks volumes, but they can’t seem hear us Until they scared for they life and claim to fear us The list keeps getting longer, and our patience getting shorter Especially with the media and T.V. reporters It’s imperative, the narrative, don’t change And gets comparative and then stays the same I know jay said he can’t see em coming down his eye But I be lying to myself if I said I ain’t wanna cry No more hashtags, no more bodybags Let my people live in harmony Can I breathe, let me live I don't know how much more I can take of this I remember growing up, as a young black kid The things my momma told me, and all that she did She say hands at ten and two, when a cop pulls you over Try to keep calm son, keep your composure Speak loud and clear but don’t move too fast Cause if you make the wrong move, it could be yo last Make no sudden moves, and try to be respectful When that guns in they hand, they can get real neglectful Now that I’m grownup I see it ain’t that simple And every situation just ain’t that civil So what’s the game plan, when my face in the pavement What’s my next move, tell me the rules of engagement It’s hard to keep calm when the hate so blatant Hard to stay in the game, when the foul so flagrant A routine stop, now turned an arraignment Now my moms can’t sleep and making funeral arrangements No more hashtags, no more body bags Let my people live in harmony Can I breathe, let me live I don’t know how much more I can take of this
