Tell me how can you deny the truth?
When it's staring right in front of you
Saying that these things just don't exist
Tell me why you won't listen?
To the voices on the screen
I can feel the pain they scream
Cause everybody that can't breathe they look just like me
And everything you take for granted I can be killed for
When I take a ride in my car I'm pulled over
When I take the kids to the park they on my shoulder
Don’t you I know I live this block?
And everything you take for granted I can be killed for
When I’m out doing my job it's so hard
Think I want to rob they house and steal cars
Tell me who do think you are?
And everything you take for granted I can be killed for
When you see me at the store it's so true
Everybody's following me and not you
Tell me what my people's to do?
Keep my hand on the wheel
When they by the window
If I make a bad move
My wife’s a widow
What you think is simple
Can be so complex
No respect can’t get it we bout to take it
Got my picket sign now that I made it
I’m downtown raise it up to the sky
We gonna show the whole world being blacks not a crime
I can’t breathe no
I can’t breathe oh
I can’t breathe no no no
You see I’m suffocating by the pressure place on my neck
A perfect metaphor until hit the internet
I know the scene got you pulling at your heartstrings
But what you see in your home is my reality
No need to sugarcoat the fact
You know life’s a lot harder when your skin is black
What we lack in finance make up innovation
But why it got to be that way I’m frustrated
And everything you take for granted I can be killed for
When I take a ride in my car I'm pulled over
When I take the kids to the park they on my shoulder
Don’t you I know I live this block?
And everything you take for granted I can be killed for
When I’m out doing my job its so hard
Think I want to rob they house and steal cars
Tell me who do think you are?
And everything you take for granted I can be killed for
When you see me at the store it's so true
Everybody's following me and not you
Tell me what my people's to do?
I can be killed for the pettiest things wearing a hood or even jogging down the street
You know what I mean I don't have to give an extreme
Because its all right here for the world to see
Killed for hanging with friends having my phone
Sleep in my home the cops came in will it ever end?
I’m trying to make ya'll see that black lives don't seem to matter man that’s why we scream
I can’t breathe no
I can’t breathe oh
I can’t breathe no no no
You see beneath the surface where racism dwell
Ain’t hard to tell feels like we trapped in cell
And if your oblivious then I need you to see
That everything you take for granted for me can be
Taken away at the end of night the blink of a light
Could really be the end my life you know that ain’t right
I bet you never thought that way
That's why black lives matter and my people say
And everything you take for granted I can be killed for
When I take a ride in my car I'm pulled over
When I take my kids to the park they on my shoulder
Don’t you I know I live this block?
And everything you take for granted I can be killed for
When I’m out doing my job its so hard
Think I want to rob they house and steal cars
Tell me who do think you are?
And everything you take for granted I can be killed for
When you see me at the store it's so true
Everybody's following me and not you
Tell me what my people's to do?
Cause everything you take for granted I can be
Killed for
I can just die for
That's what we cry for
Cause everything you take for granted I can be
Killed for
I can just die for
That's what we cry for
Cause everything you take for granted I can be
