“He’s got a gun, gunn!” “You fuking move, I swear to God!” *gunshots* Shots fired Lights flashing behind me Life flashing at light speed I'm asking can I breathe, can I breathe Murder, murder on the replay, replay, replay Murder, murder how much more can we take We will not go quiet that's what we say, we say Body drop, momma cried Son was shot, yeah, yeah, online We just tryna live if you don't mind You can try to kill us but we don't die No, we don't die, no we don't die Soul going high, soul going high You can try to kill us but we don't die Soul going high, soul going high Hard to really get to safety when you're urban Dodging bullets like you hate to drink a Bourbon Pick your poison, who gone get your boys in blue? Or triggers pointed to by kids who want your shoes They shooting us back to back to back to back SongtexteExcusing they blasts with black on black is wack But abusing a badge is just as bad as choosing A pack, as trapping, cap your own habitat (yah yah) We used to fear being dead or in jail But in jail, you wouldn't hit heaven or hell Now these cops just want your head when they tail Shot at the stop or found dead in your cell That's about as bland as it got for Sandra Make them casket plans when cops say "hands up" We got our hands up, don't shoot They say "put them cams up don't shoot" (yah yah) Body drop, momma cried Son was shot, yeah, yeah, online We just tryna live if you don't mind You can try to kill us but we don't die No, we don't die, no we don't die Soul going high, soul going high You can try to kill us but we don't die Soul going high, soul going high Oh, you like me better with my mouth shut I got a voice but I'm better left without one How come they only get it when we turn into the loud ones Riot in the street, here the crowd come, crowd come They didn't listen to the protest, care less about a hashtag Black lives matter when the blue lives murder, oh yes And you wonder why we that mad But I'm 'posed to just shut up and play nice Stay silent when something ain't right Pay homage when police save lives But remain quiet when they killing us in broad daylight Off the handle in the park, Tamir Rice Got Philando in his car for tail light Explain being choked to death You won't Garner an answer Won't hold my breath You ain't gotta agree, this is my opinion I'm just hollering "please can we stop the killing" Whether cops on a beat or get shot by a G on your block 'cause you shopping the kilos It's not a feeling any mother should feel That's why the Father said "thou shalt not kill" It's good cops, I'm just looking for balance Can we stop hashtagging caskets please? Lights flashing behind me Life flashing at light speed I'm asking can I breathe, I'm asking can I breathe Thou shall not kill to the coppers that up to no good Thou shall not kill till you popping off in your hood Thou shall not kill was a charge from the Father I promise it's for our own good Can I breathe?
