THEY CAN’T BREATHE
 
Knee on his neck 
what did you expect x3
How many times did he have to say...
He can't breathe


(Verse 1)
You couldn't hear cuz
 you were kneeling on his neck 
You couldn't hear cuz
 you were breaking his back
You couldn't hear cuz 
she was fast asleep 
You couldn't hear 
he only had Skittles and tea


(CHORUS)
Put yourself in the shoes of the fallen
 Going about their daily lives
We never listened to the words they've been callin'
 Every day's a struggle to survive
If we take a breath and check our privilege 
 Be a beacon of light they can see 
Maybe we'll believe and we'll listen 
 When they're screaming...
 They can't breathe 


You act enraged
When you see the truth
You close your eyes when
You see the abuse
You turn around and
Say “well that's not me”
Your racism is
Your complacency 


You got your knees on their necks again x4
 (THEY CAN’T BREATHE)x4


LET THEM UP
(SPOKEN)
All lives can’t matter…. Until black lives matter.
