I can't breathe, i can't breathe
First, it was covid 19
Got a lotta people like, "I can't eat, i can't sleep"
Every store and delivery service was picked clean
No water, no TP, hope you took it seriously
It's like y2k plus aids but quarantined
This is first world problems like we've never seen
This virus, got us divided into 3
The scared, the prepared, and the people like me
Who say "if this is gonna kill me, let it be what it be"
But ima do what i can to fight what I can't see
While Americans cry out "this ain't freedom to me
You won't shackle me with a mask, i can't breathe!"
Others like "f*ck them, we dont need em
Take that mask off and take a deep breath of that freedom
Hope you slowly die on the ground, crying and bleeding"
Feels like the city's on fire
Burnin' to the ground
Why does the city come alive
Right before it goes down
Before it's all done
Take a last look around
You can run but can't hide
It's not just your town
Every city's on fire
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
Say their names, George Floyd, Bre T
Talk about em like you knew em, take it personally
So that it hurts when you see
What they do to us in the streets
While the police, blend in as we riot and rage
So they can maximize the damage put on the front page
I give a f*ck what your race is
What's happening is wrong, and we need to face this
The color of the faces
Isn't the story, its about what actually happened
'How can one person do this to another?' is what we should be askin'
Don't get me wrong, the fact that he was black
Made me feel like it coulda been me with a cop on my back
But not everyone realizes it
And thats what the problem is
If we're gonna solve this
Let's reorganize and then
Ask what if this happened to someone you love
Would you stand up and ask "What the actual f*ck?!"
Feels like the city's on fire
Burnin' to the ground
Why does the city come alive
Right before it goes down
Before it's all done
Take a last look around
You can run but can't hide
It's not just your town
Every city's on fire
Life is tough enough
But this year's been rough
Curfews and isolation
A pandemic that amplified anger and hatred
And got everybody so much more confused and anxious
And the cherry on top is that nothing stops
Even if you can't work, the cost of living didn't drop
We still got rent due
Hope the government deemed what you do as essential
Either way, here's a stack of cash
We'll be taking this back
With interest from your taxes
Try to make it last
And the result was new shoes and cute masks
And this became the new norm as time passed
And I'll admit, even i forgot to focus
This was an election year, I hope you voted
And the result is
A black female vice president
The only consultation prize we're gonna get
Feels like the city's on fire
Burnin' to the ground
Why does the city come alive
Right before it goes down
Before it's all done
Take a last look around
You can run but can't hide
It's not just your town
Every city's on fire
Burnin' to the ground
Why does the city come alive
Right before it goes down
Before it's all done
Take a last look around
You can run but can't hide
It's not just your town
Every city's on fire
