I Can’t Breathe Lyrics by Black Dre

0

Mr. Officer, Officer, Mr. Officer, Officer please
These cuffs are way too tight, and I can’t breathe
Piercing me with your bullets, killing me with your knees
All this hatred and racism, where is the peace?
I can’t breathe, and all that i see
My people turn to hashtags, cause of crooked police
Nobody wiping the tears, of black queens when they grieve
How a traffic stop turn to pulling weapons on me?
This supposed to be home? Well I hate it herе
And you don’t even like my kind, so why you bring us hеre?
The way you treating my people yeah you make it clear
That being black is a death date, don’t you see you my tears!?
Man so many years passed you would think it changed
They lynching all my ppl cause our fruit was strange
I swear the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
It’s like the darker the skin tone, the tighter the nuse
You screamin’ put your hands up, but you probably gon shoot
Tell me what would you do if it happened to you? or yo son
And had to get the news that he gone
Now I understand why momma steady calling my phone
Can’t even go to the store, can’t even go for a jog
Without being shot dead in the street like a dog
It’s sad to say I ain’t the first or the last
To be murdered by a coward with a gun and a badge
Fuck a cop, fuck a Karen, fuck a Klan, fuck a pig
Gunshots, suffocate, broken neck, broken ribs
And my last question is
“How am I gon’ raise a kid, knowing that he’ll be judged by the color of his skin?”
Mr. Officer, Officer, Mr. Officer, Officer please
These cuffs are way too tight, and I can’t breathe
Piercing me with your bullets, killing me with your knees
I Can’t Breathe
