Lyrics How Long? - Samedee

Talking to bro about some real life shit, like shit
Cops still really out here treating niggas like shit
It ain't nothing new, nah it's just not as private
I just seen a viral live, of a guy living lifeless
With saliva sliding out his mouth, he was clearly frightened
They screaming, officer get off of him, you see he's dying
He crying, I can't breath but officer got his damn knee, deep into his neck
You can see his fighting
Trying to hold on, but it goes on until he's silent
And you still applied that pressure like he's really violent
How?
How sway, that was foul play
The whole crowd's in an outrage and you pull out mace?
Because they tried stop yo goofy ass from taking that man's life
Cuffed his hands, I, don't understand why couldn't stand up, if his hands tied
The cam's eye, can't lie
You clearly violated that man's right, to live
I guess he's just another ant right?
You full of Ku Klux Klan spite, you can't hide
Kill a nigga and become champ in your fam's eyes
It's prolly' bigots out here building you a fan site

I Just want to live
I just want to breathe
I just want to be
But you'd rather see me bleed
They say it ain't all police doing wrong, but that's just all we see

Its like the color that I'm painted, is the reason that they treat me like I ain't shit

You know that ain't right or was it justified?
'Cuz the guy wasn't white
Steady dying in they hands, but I thought they 'pose to be protecting
Police keep releasing weapons, even on the black folks that be least aggressive
And we keep expressing, that we tired
Peacefully protesting ain't doing much, 'cuz if it did, we would see correction
Tv depressing
I'm seeing wicked racist, mocking George Floyd situation on their Insta pages
Laughing and joking as they imitate it
Hearing black lives matter they biggest irritation
'Cuz they give no fuck about black people tribulations
I commend everyone that's fighting to eliminate discrimination
Instigating change, with a demonstration
Call 'em out and put 'em in they places when your friend degrading
People 'cuz the color that their skin is plated
Don't be screaming black lives matter at rallies
When you know your friend is racist in private
Letting it slide, making no attempt to say shit
It's more than Twitters's latest trending statement, when we say it
It's way to speak against the hatred we face in this nation
The corruption blatant, pay attention to what's in your faces
It be on camera, how the fuck they still win them cases?
They ain't gon' learn a lesson just 'cuz you suspend his wages
He'll do it again, because its something he can get away it
If you good cop witnessing dirt be on a consistent basis
Help us implicate the ones misbehaving
If you never step up, we gon' think that you crooked as they is
I pray I'm never laying with my bae and my crib get raided
And I get to spraying, thinking someone trying to break in
But it's the cop waving Ks and my take in 8 hits, Like Breonna Taylor
Off Allegations, then they hesitate with, the investigation
It's devastating
I wonder will my kids have to deal with this
Not a father yet but when I am, will it still exist?
Keep on getting louder 'til we see a change
we in pain but they look at us like we deranged
If we are, it's only 'cuz you never see the shame, in using us for when you need to aim

I Just want to live
I just want to breathe
I just want to be
But you'd rather see me bleed
They say it ain't all police doing wrong, but that's just all we see

Its like the color that I'm painted, is the reason that they treat me like I ain't shit
