Black Lives Matter Lyrics

[Chorus: Madilyn]
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Ay ya
I can't breathe

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus: Madilyn]
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Ay ya
I can't breathe

[Verse 2]
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 (Stand)

[Chorus: Madilyn]
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Ay ya
I can't breathe

[Chorus: Madilyn]
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Ay ya
I can't breathe
