[Intro] As you can see right now, Times Square is covered with protestors. Theres about 20 riot cops over there. Other groups have joined and are converging here in Times Square. Today is the ceremony for the lighting of the Rockefeller tree and theres police officers swarming everywhere to make sure the protestors do not disrupt that ceremony that theyre having. Theres hundreds and hundreds of protestors right now, in the streets right now, blocking all traffic, a huge number. An announcement that the cop who killed Eric Garner was not indicted by the police department [Hook] They tell me Im resistin arrest But Im only protectin my breath, I cant breathe The cops hate a black man to death They tell me that mentality left, it didnt leave See bein black come with a price Sometimes we gotta pay with our life, our family grieves The grand jury never indicts The grand dragons wearin his white, true indeed [Verse] No justice, no peace again I wont trust the police again Another black man murdered In the streets by police, he wont hug his own niece again So whats a black mom tell her son? They might hate the mere sight of you So no, I cant buy that pellet gun They might try to Tamir Rice you I guess the Devils job is never done Respect the value of my life too For me change may never come Cause I cant change into a white dude Cops workin with the prosecutor Prosecutor manipulate the grand jury Grand jury say its no indictment Send the community into levels past fury Protestors on the sidewalk They say Eric Garner was choked here I say we burn this whole shit down But wont nothin change when the smoke clear Thats cause the system is broken Another victim of a chokin By a modern day lynch mob The cops probably wished they couldve roped him How many tears gotta fall? How many peers gotta fall? The cops kill instead of capture A black man of that stature How many fears were involved? How many cheered what they saw? See, equalitys the problem How many years til its solved? I think somebody want a race riot But hiphop isnt swayed by it Too many black rappers sellin out You white rappers shouldnt stay quiet [Interlude] Put your hands behind your back I cant breathe, I cant breathe, I cant breathe, I cant breathe, I cant breathe, I cant breathe, I cant breathe, I cant breathe [Hook] [Outro] I cant breathe I cant breathe I cant breathe I cant breathe
