[Dax - BLACK LIVES MATTER lyrics]
I can't breathe i can't breathe
Ay ya i can't breathe
Yeah, this a revolution in
Our time everybody's fighting
Change coming, yes! That's why it's an
Acronym for riot everybody has a voice
Don't you dare stay silent
If you say nothing
You are an accessory to violence
Let these words dry the tears of
My people that are crying
We can bring back hope
But not the people that are dying
This what happens when the people
You've oppressed ask for change
In a country that they built
But you're ignored and deny it
This for Sandra Bland, George Floyd
And every single family
Police brutality has intervened
In and destroyed
Couple bad cops can't define
All you other boys
So every good cop needs to stand
Up and make some noise black, white, asian
Doesn't matter 'cause we can't avoid
So let's all come together
Join hands and, yes, get annoyed
At people who believe racism makes sense
In a country built off
Minority slave work employed
Nobody's born racist, man
It's something you learn
Deep rooted in your brain from
The day of your birth
I think it's time that we repair
All of these bridges we've burned
And let love out of our
Hearts onto cheeks we've turned
Spread love, show love
Let's get rid of this curse
Don't wait for anyone to act, man
You go first
400 years wasted, let's get rid of this hurt
'Cause that's the only way we'll
Ever see peace on Earth
I can't breathe i can't breathe
Ay ya i can't breathe
Change is what we really need, cut me open
Cut you open, red's the color every single
Human beings bleeds
Let's come together cops citizens
And in between and rally for the rights
Of everybody in humanity black, blue, white
Green playing for the same team
I'm not MLK but, boy
That doesn't mean I can't dream
Black lives matter shouldn't anger you
Or make you scream
All lives matter 'cause we
Aren't treated equally
Remember when we were kids
And didn't see color
And when we played in kindergarten and
I called you my brother
Then we grew up and they taught us
We should hate on each other
Even though we one in the same and
We all came from our mothers
I hope y'all understand hate is not
A trait, it was learned, man
Equality is the quality we
Need inside this Earth, man
Give and receive, it's the
Karma that you earn, man
It's Dax
I can't breathe i can't breathe
Ay ya i can't breathe
I can't breathe i can't breathe
Ay ya i can't breathe
Ay ya i can't breathe
Yeah, this a revolution in
Our time everybody's fighting
Change coming, yes! That's why it's an
Acronym for riot everybody has a voice
