[00:08.721] He’s got a gun, gun!
[00:09.224] You beep move, I swear to God! gunshots
[00:10.225] Shots fired
[00:27.882] Lights flashing behind me
[00:30.806] Life flashing at light speed
[00:33.953] I'm asking can I breathe, can I breathe
[00:38.035] Murder, murder on the replay, replay, replay
[00:44.695] Murder, murder how much more can we take
[00:47.536] We will not go quiet that's what we say, we say
[00:51.601] Body drop, momma cried
[00:55.438] Saw the shot, yeah, yeah, online
[00:58.809] We just tryna live if you don't mind
[01:03.255] You can try to kill us but we don't die
[01:06.266] No, we don't die, no we don't die
[01:09.986] Soul going high, soul going high
[01:13.564] You can try to kill us but we don't die
[01:17.096] Soul going high, soul going high
[01:20.861] Hard to really get to safety when you're urban
[01:23.070] Dodging bullet like you hate to drink a Bourbon
[01:24.786] Pick your poison, who gone get your boys in blue?
[01:25.136] Or triggers pointed to by kids who want your shoes
[01:27.435] They shooting us back to back to back to back
[01:29.925] Excusing they blasts with black on black is wack
[01:32.166] But abusing a badge is just as bad as choosing
[01:34.282] A pack, as trapping, cap your own habitat (yah yah)
[01:37.398] We used to fear being dead or in jail
[01:38.582] But in jail, you wouldn't hit heaven or hell
[01:39.933] Now these cops just want your head when they tail
[01:41.464] Shot at the stop or found dead in your cell
[01:43.033] That's about as bland as it got for Sandra
[01:44.810] Make them casket plans when cops say "hands up"
[01:46.936] We got our hands up, don't shoot
[01:49.312] They say "put them cams up don't shoot" (yah yah)
[01:54.536] Body drop, momma cried
[01:55.837] Saw the shot, yeah, yeah, online
[01:58.164] We just tryna live if you don't mind
[02:01.509] You can try to kill us but we don't die
[02:04.725] No, we don't die, no we don't die
[02:08.728] Soul going high, soul going high
[02:12.329] You can try to kill us but we don't die
[02:16.107] Soul going high, soul going high
[02:20.328] Oh, you like me better with my mouth shut
[02:21.748] I got a voice but I'm better left without one
[02:23.469] How come they only get it when we turn into the loud ones
[02:25.523] Riot in the street, here the crowd come, crowd come
[02:27.202] They didn't listen to the protest, care less about a hashtag
[02:29.551] Black lives matter when the blue lives murder, oh yes
[02:32.469] And you wonder why we that mad
[02:34.335] But I'm 'posed to just shut up and play nice
[02:36.234] Stay silent when something ain't right
[02:37.986] Pay homage when police save lives
[02:39.951] But remain quiet when they killing us in broad daylight
[02:41.658] Off the handle in the park, Tamir Rice
[02:44.389] Got Philando in his car for tail light
[02:46.070] Explain being choked to death
[02:47.682] You won't Garner an answer
[02:49.127] Won't hold my breath
[02:49.830] You ain't gotta agree, this is my opinion
[02:50.733] I'm just hollering "please can we stop the killing"
[02:52.673] Whether cops on a beat or get shot by a G on your block 'cause you shopping the kilos
[02:56.554] It's not a feeling any mother should feel
[02:57.623] That's why the Father said "thou shalt not kill"
[03:00.404] It's good cops, I'm just looking for balance
[03:02.236] Can we stop hashtagging caskets please?
[03:03.643] Lights flashing behind me
[03:09.252] Life flashing at light speed
[03:12.574] I'm asking can I breathe, I'm asking can I breathe
[03:19.379] Thou shall not kill to the coppers that up to no good
[03:21.148] Thou shall not kill till you popping off in your hood
[03:23.316] Thou shall not kill was a charge from the Father
[03:25.710] I promise it's for our own good
[03:29.724] Can I breathe?
