Don Jenius - Can't Breathe Lyrics

For all the injustice that's happened
I'ma let this track breathe for those who couldn't
We been racing through the fire
Racing through the fire
Just to escape the pain
To escape the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain
Yeah
Tell me can we make it higher
Oh
Tell me is there more to gain
Tell me is there more to gain
My my oh my I'm dressed for the occasion
I like my chicken teriyaki sweet asian
Her bundles Malaysian never mind the persuasion
You dozed off always sleeping
Make a statement
Salute to all the real generals, fighting racist
Remember growing up saying that you wanted more
Running from ya mama house to the corner store
Now she running from the morgue, coming from the store
Damn
Oh you mad cuz we made scene
Or should this be the American dream, huh
Some people want the awards and all the applause
But can never really seem to justify they cause
Listen
Come and tell me what's the cheat to code to life
Everyday is like a hashtag ready to type
To exercise a right, is to exercise being white
They couldn't wait to off a nigga see him running on sight
My my yo what is life? A game we can't even fight
It's a tired game, everybody's looking fame
But not the type of fame where everybody's screaming their names, for real
Police shoot to kill, then don't even get questioned
You tell me who foots the bill when moms loses an adolescence
Uh
Nothing but a lesson, see we been in a hole, from slavery, to red lining, to making votes at the polls
Tell me what can change your heart, man, only heaven knows
The value of life is at an all time low
We can't breathe
Uh
We can't breathe
We been racing through the fire
Racing through the fire
Just to escape the pain
To escape the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain
Yeah
Tell me can we make it higher
Oh
Tell me is there more to gain
Tell me is there more to gain
