From the recording SHELTER ME (can't breathe)
Lyrics
can't breathe, can't breathe, let me go, let me go
can't breathe, can't breathe, i'm in a choke hold, let me go
no warrant didn't yell freeze
the cops shot Bree had her dying in her sleep
yo how say can you see, a black man dying
still hearing him scream
the riot squad messed up again
cracking heads like a lunatic fringe
to evict someone from his
place of communication
while the media's spewing there lies
trying to make us feel
like there's a divide
leaving everyone confused
about facts of the situation
oh my country tears of thy
shelter me oh shelter me
with liberty
almost 9 mins one knee
crying for his mama can't breathe
Breanna Taylor killer still free
yo tell me how can this still be
star light all above me
open my eyes to see
a higher road and
a brighter destiny
cause it always seems
where under arrest
and there always putting
us to the test
in this complication
this funky place is a mess
oh my country tears of thy
shelter me oh shelter me
with liberty
can't breathe i can't breathe let me go i can't breathe
shelter and that liberty
what is my breathe worth?
a million streams on
a youtube clip?
get your camera phones out
cause were shooting flick
lights camera action
boys in blue choices
leading the attraction
strange food on display
main attraction
like Nina Simone we need
less talk more action
say your name say your name
hash tagger it's fine time we
realize that Black Lives Matter
oh my country tears of thy
shelter me oh shelter me
oh my country tears
shelter me oh shelter me
with liberty
am i meant to be here
call for liberty
that's all i'm asking
for you and for me
i'm asking that for him and for she
everybody in the world liberty
i'm tired i can't breathe even
with this mask on i can't breathe
i'm contemplating if i should
stay or leave cause i need liberty
i need that shelter and that liberty
and i need you to give it to me
i need it now and i need
you to give it to me
