Lyrics I Can't Breathe - Banu

Tell em what it is what it is what it isn't
Degrading us to peasants
Tell me why they sending all my people to prison
Oppression is a life time sentence
Like we fucking presents for them to buy
But my presence is here to try
To paint a better picture of blacks in the U.S.
People see right through us
The government acts clueless to the racial bias
No longer will you tie us
We starting race riots
Cause it's an everyday struggle to stay alive
Not slaves but we deprived
Of walking down street with a sense of security
But not like in the mall when they following me
Never known what it truly means to be free
So please tell me the fee we have to pay
How about taking our identity
Rise up rise up
The time is now
Like a Shaolin master we on the prowl
How profound
Gotta make our words hit ka pow
Limitless power causing mass corruption
Dark skin tone matched with assumptions
Screwed by the system, make it hard to function
Screwed by the system, make it hard to function

Death, tyranny and a pursuit for survival
Now please listen to me cause this here is vital
Black Lives Matter
Let's make that the title
Drowning now here comes the tidal wave
In a whitewashed sea it's our turn to pave away
We're not far from slaves, another shot today say
Afri - Ameri
Where is the kin?
Cops only see skin to put 16 in
Yo I can't breathe
Young black in America, can't succeed
More black bodies piled up on my newsfeed
While I scroll and plead for more humanity
Why are they killing us, acting so villainous,
Cops the antagonists
Just products of the ghetto engulfed in violence,
Consumed by the streets, and fear for the sirens
We working for the man that we see as tyrants
