Every time I watch the news
Somebody dyin' again
Got a mother on TV cryin' again
These people out here wildin' again
They killin' us
And we don't even know
Why in the end
It's like
Do y'all want war?
It's like we already been here before
It's like they don't care anymore
I feel like I can't bear it anymore
And it's been goin' on for so long
And it's been like this for so long
This been the same old song
So now
I'm about to make my own
Take your knee off my neck
It's gettin' hard to breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Take your knee off my neck
It's gettin' hard to breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
They done took too many of us
I think we done lost too many brothers
And we don't wanna hurt no others
But it's like y'all
Just want us to get in trouble
And I just wanna know
Why you keep takin'
Us away from our families
It's like you really
Want me to be mad at you
'Cause it's like you really
Wanna be my enemy
And it's like I can't take it anymore
And I don't wanna see it anymore
I don't even wanna hear it anymore
It just make me wanna
Say it even more
Take your knee off my neck
It's gettin' hard to breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Take your knee off my neck
It's gettin' hard to breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Take your knee off my neck
It's gettin' hard to breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Take your knee off my neck
It's gettin' hard to breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Take your knee off my neck
It's gettin' hard to breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
