​nobigdyl. - Sweet Dreams, Breathe Easy lyrics

Sweet dreams, Breonna breathe easy, George


Breonna was trying to sleep
George said he was trying to breathe
2020,  still see bodies that's
Fallin' from trees
They call it 'suicide'
But I know they're lying to me
What do you do when you're a
Target of violent police?
If you go lootin' at the target
They title you 'beast'
But if you suitin' up in armor
A badge and a piece
Then, you could shoot right at your
Target and get off with ease (Yeah)
I live below the Mason Dixon
My face fit's the description of
An inmate in prison
It doesn't matter if I did
It or didn't commit it
They want me in chains 'cause
Of my shade of pigment
The thirteenth amendment made a
New slavery system
I'm wondering if my fellow Christians
Are okay to listen
Louie called it a blessing, he
Couldn't sit with privilege
I know the Lord forgives him
I know some boys who didn't
You know what's more horrific?
Breonna was trying to sleep
Then, police interrupted her dreams
Them bullets hit her skin and caused
Her to bust at the seams
I know it's graphic
Maybe now you'll discuss it with me
What are you doing to contribute
To justice and peace?
('Tribute to justice and peace-'tribute
To justice and peace)
What are you doing to contribute
To justice and peace? Don't give me verses
'less you gon' back it up with your feet
