Israel Naor - Breathe Lyrics

Revelation will be televised
Just nother way to say open eyes
Niggas say they woke to this shit
I really wrote to this shit
Malcom spoke with his fist
Martin gave hope to resist
Till he got scoped with a hit
What's nigga like me supposed to do
Everytime I speak they say I have an attitude
I'm to ghetto for the words I use
See a man in blue
I pray I don't make the news
It's like even when I win I lose
Got me more confused
Then when I muse on confusious
Homies wanna loose it
We've been f*cked with since Hoover
Promised 20 acres and mule
They ain't coming through
We want reparations they try and blame us
Say we bring up old shit
We ain't far from when niggas use to hang from the wood
The game changed
The enemy ain't wearing hoods
They got guns and run up into yo hood
Take what's all good
Ambush you till the suspect secured
And you laying dead

Can I breathe?
I just want space to be me
Wanna walk the streets without being stopped by police
Can I just breathe?
I wanna be me
I wanna be free
Can I just
Can I just breathe?
I just want space to be me
I wanna walk down the streets without being stopped by police
Can I breathe?
I wanna be me
I wanna be free
Can I just
Can I just breathe?
Can I just
Can I just breathe?

They misbelieve that my niggas really bout it bout it
I got the heat in package tryna route it route it
Your homies wanna mess with me highly doubt it doubt it
Popped the trunk
We get it on like a western film
Six pounds of pressure in only a second
I've been really stressing for a blessing
Sorry ma if I get arrested
I ain't learn my lesson
Praying that they don't shoot the messenger
Labeled a bafoon on the regular
It's just a ploy till that 9 get it on
Then who really at fault
Lock Jerome up for aiming down scope
But billy shoots up the elementary
Now we debating whether guns rights are necessary
Politicians weren't talking while Treyvon was dying
Didn't start till after the riots
Whites still acting quite
But hold up I just got tailed
For a while
Heart starts beating
And my palms are sweaty
Wondering if today's the day
A cop pulls me over
Asking for license and registration
Feels threatened
Pulls a gun out
Now my soul levitating
I hope I make it to heaven
Damn
It's shame cuz had more living
But this hollow has me finished like the end of a sentence

Can I breathe?
I just want space to be me
Wanna walk the streets without being stopped by police
Can I just breathe?
I wanna be me
I wanna be free
Can I just
Can I just breathe?
I just want space to be me
I wanna walk down the streets without being stopped by police
Can I breathe?
I wanna be me
I wanna be free
Can I just
Can I just breathe?
Can I just
Can I just breathe?
