Give Me Air Lyrics by Ashton Francis

2020

Hook (Courtney Taylor): Give, give me air, pressure is slowly killing me, I can't breathe, pressure is slowly killing me, let me breathe
Verse: Dark depictions of a human being, black body slaughtered on my screen/ blood leaking you can watch it stream, four officers secure the scene if I catch one should I let'em breathe?/ there's the gap between the world and me, then thеy ask me to accept a plea/ fuck your policе chief and deputy let that be known/ without warning no-knock warrant enter your home, wrong floor wrong apartment shoot you through the door/ they arrest the whole department, can't unsee what we saw/ niggas is upset, the evil set us back not to be fucked with the people gon' bust back/ labeled a suspect, playing for stray cats, rear-naked chokehold squeeze til my life past/ taking my last breath, knee on my damn neck, say this the last time we taking no checks - niggas is upset
Hook: Give, give me air, Give, give me air
Verse: We've been served but we've been unprotected, underrepresented, pacified I wouldn't say a sentence/ uninvited couldn't find an entrance, tenants of a lost tribe we divided at the root/ sought to hide us from our truth, they say Assata killed a trooper cause cops bare the right to shoot you/ they flex power and abuse, this next hour's for the youth/ I'll throw a coward off the roof and tell'em fly without a chute' stupid, this the no-fucking-round movement/ yall gon' show respect to black humans, cut them cheques, pay your debts and send them reparations, this ain't retribution/ free labor built your institutions, we've been lynched, raped and executed/ there's got to be better but I ain't begging for it, we bitter cause you benefited off our backs we want it back
Hook: Give, give me air (give me air, I need air), Give, give me air
Verse: You can stand your ground cause we ground breaking/ a change bout to come cause I'm done waiting/ by whatever means however necessary, blood-stained pavement brighter than a cherry/ strange fruit hanging blossom every season, the caged bird singing begging for her freedom/ mother's losing son's morning through the evening destruction of my body for convenient reason
(Courtney Taylor): Pressure is slowly killing me, I can't breathe, pressure is slowly killing me, let me breathe
Give me air, Give me air
Pressure is slowly killing me, I can't breathe
