We Can’t Breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
Make another profit on a profit prison
Prison prophets profit on their faulty visions
Profiting on our division rockets the decision
Forfeits our position for the profits they have written
All is lost but breath of all the unforgiven
I can't breathe
We can't breathe

[Chorus]
They're telling me there's nothing to see
Black out the TV, they're lying to me
It's not a riot, peacefully fight it
Followed by quiet, but they'll deny it

[Verse 1]
I thought it mattered, the things we said
The things we did, but now we're dead
Marched with AR-15s to protest quarantines
No gas, no stun grenades, but now we're beat like slaves
Maybe if we marched the streets with those guns
Then they wouldn't shoot back with the rubber ones
Armed to the teeth in case the government fails
But where are you now during the violent hail?
Claim you're righteous, love all men the same
When they murder the innocent, you pass the blame
The hypocrisy will be your lasting fame
So load up your guns or throw them away

[Pre-Chorus]
Make another profit on a profit prison
Prison prophets profit on their faulty visions
Profiting on our division rockets the decision
Forfeits our position for the profits they have written
All is lost but breath of all the unforgiven
I can't breathe
We can't breathe

[Chorus]
They're telling me there's nothing to see
Black out the TV, they're lying to me
It's not a riot, peacefully fight it
Followed by quiet, but they'll deny it

[Verse 2]
Cash in opportunity knocks
Hit the store with a barrel of rocks
Give an excuse or excessive force
Damn the ones wanting civil discourse
All the looting and robbery, what for?
Now the government is using it to take more
Penny gains for simple brains who want to start a civil war
Taking shots but they forgot the people they should aim for
Maybe if we kept to civilized fights
Then they wouldn't beat us and shorten our nights
Or maybe they've lost respect for our rights
Or maybe the norm has been brought to light
It's looking more and more like a common-known ending
Only getting known because a culture of trending
Blinded by authority saying "nothing's wrong"
And believing them despite our brothers crying out for so long

[Chorus] (x2)
They're telling me there's nothing to see
Black out the TV, they're lying to me
It's not a riot, peacefully fight it
Followed by quiet, but they'll deny it
