Can’t Breathe

I can't breathe, scream at the top of my lungs I can't speak
My thoughts are accelerating the rate of my heart beat
Officer, can't you see that I'm shaking my arms feet?
Manual strangulation's my fate and I'm gasping
Hate and discriminate 'cause I'm labelled a dark skin
If you ain't pale in the face then you basically are seen as incriminated the pavements the place I was last seen
Cut the oxygen off to my brain, chance slim!
I can't breathe!
Can you hear me, I can't breathe!
I need some air and I'm starting to wheeze
I'm in fear and your arm's squeezing me calm down please!
The little life that I have left's in your palm region
I'm speaking I can't reach him
He's acting like he ain't receiving me begging and pleading
Every second brings me closer to death the pressure is peaking
White supremacist, pessimist with prejudiced feelings, this is what terrorism is if you never have seen it
What will it cost to solve this injustice across the globe I'm disgusted I've lost my focus I'm flustered and claustrophobic
It's like they've punched my throat in, I feel like my lungs have folded
Can't give this my undevoted attention I've come to notice
Black America, why do I feel like you get priority over everyone do you think we're inferior, where in your mind?
Do lives mean less here in your eyes?
When Mark Duggan was shot dead where were you guys?
Where will you rise? We need you right here to unite
When society's squeezing every bit of air we call life and Eric's alive
He will never perish as long as we share his demise, there's others right here we deny
Take a black out! Have a media blackout!
What will it take to bring the black out, Barack Obama back out? Take the bullets out of every black and buss em (them) like black, ow If I was the president I'd turn my home into a black house
The world is a crack house and we're addicted, television selling lies nobody's being convicted
Perpetuate stereotypes are you playing the victim?
Or paying attention to the game?
It's the way of the system!
Blacks represent half the population in prison if you're white or Asian then universities where you fit in
Hurts me to see the condition of my people of Britain
What happened to Eric Garner, modern day lynching
Here we go again, break the news for me another black man dead Fuck it, I ain't got the energy for it
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired and frickin' violated from racial profiling I am impatient
As a black man and a species I am in danger not an animal
Why are police men tryna erase us?!
I'm frustrated for fucksakes, fuck the states, fuck America is there anything more much to say?
