I Can't Breathe (feat. Pop Dogg & Michele Feeney)

by Versey

lyrics

United states of isis
2020 My people living in crisis
Police brutality, Segregation, divide us
I can’t sleep, I'm still praying for guidance
Racial tension on cruising height
I got that 2020 vision I ain’t loosing sight
These crooked cops ain’t moving right
I can’t stand in silence , We choose to fight
No blacks , dogs or Irish
Hating my skin color is childish
Colin Kaepernick took a knee for my sake
Mr. Officer please take your knee off my neck
I can’t breath!!!! George Floyd Tragedy
I can't sleep when I think about slavery
How they lynched my forefathers and sisters
On Graveyard shift they had blisters on blisters
From shackles to the lashes they endure the trauma
Black people being Treated like manure in the slummer
We started from the bottom like the Sewers in the gutter
One day i believe Black lives shall matter

What are we gonna do, how do we make it through
How do we start to make this world a place for me and you
What are we gonna do, what do we gotta prove
How do we start to make this world a place where we can live

I'm three and a half thousand miles away still i'm outraged
Rest in peace George Floyd it's always been about race
Out straight, USA the world is marching with you
Can't believe its 2020 race is still an issue
We miss you and all who perished at the hands of the police
They're supposed to keep the peace but lit the flames that burnt the streets
Your white sheets will not be tolerated we demand a change
Black lives mattered since they've been shackled in those chains
They're ankles are still in pain know the name Mike brown
Eric Garner couldn't breath either why should we pipe down
United we stand divided we fall, we won't be derailed
Inequality and injustice will not prevail
To the mothers who lost their sons and the fathers who lost their daughters
To this so called law and order man its nothing short of slaughter
We walk neighborhood to neighborhood, city to city, state to state
Country to country we all eat from the same plate

What are we gonna do, how do we make it through
How do we start to make this world a place for me and you
What are we gonna do, what do we gotta prove
How do we start to make this world a place where we can live
