LYRICS
(Verse)
Growing up, I could never trust a cop for my own good.
Black and blue was just another gang in my neighborhood.
You got good guys and got bad guys on the same field, my people still trying to find acceptance with the same ones thatâll hate them and thatâs evil.
I woke up been feeling like Moses,
why do people still believe that they own us,
Just because my family woke up in Egypt doesnât mean I belong where they wronged us
I am a black man, I gotta real wife, I gotta real life, I gotta family,
You ainât listen when we sat and we kneeled
Collin Kaepernick we going to plan B.
Why you gotta go and reaffirm the way I feel while being around cops?
Yeah now an officer wants to see us dead cuz yo daddy said I was the opp.
Iâm sick and tired you keep claiming itâs ignorance, tell me Canon how we pose to be different,
I shouldnât know more about your history and how theyâve treated us because of my pigment.
Hear you saying get the facts, all facts, get the whole truth, show some respect,
You concerned with a statement from officers that would kill a man, his knee on his neck.
Now we on one, forget it I been on it, time to organize what you gone do to me,
Flip over tables and chairs incinerate it but donât burn down your own community.
Tired of the same old system,
Tired of the same old victims,
Tired of the same old Christians talking,
You ainât even listening.
Look If he canât breathe then we canât breathe thatâs a culture,
How you scared to fend for you life with guns out the holster,
Niggas is tired of murder, yeah I said it niggas tired of the same verdict,
Iâm so sick and tired of giving them verses, Iâm so sick and tired of nothing working,
Donât stop and frisk before you stop to witness thatâs a real person
Now them bullets flying and somebody dying and it wasnât worth it
Every part of my body inside of me, feeling ready to go riot and ride,
But my family is all I that got,
should I cock it back or keep it inside
Why should worry about what you dont understand,
my people I stand with the pain,
Tell me how am I suppose to be fine when itâs black people dying again and again
No donât call me,
No dont text me,
I donât want empathy
Donât try to check me,
you do not get to tell me how to feel
when all reality you do not respect me
I got love for the right ones and wrong ones only God can judge you,
These ainât the old times my people tired so itâs hard to tell you what they wonât do. Yeah
(Chorus)
Growing up, I could never trust a cop for my own good.
Black and blue was just another gang in my neighborhood.
You got good guys and got bad guys on the same field, my people still trying to find acceptance with the same ones thatâll hate them and thatâs evil.

Thatâs evil, I cannot breathe yeah

Thatâs evil I cannot breathe
Tell me that ainât evil
