Don't Shoot Lyrics

I'm choking and can't breathe breathe breathe
Eh!
Should I run away should I run away?
Should I run away, oh yeah eh!

[Verse]
I say don't get disillusioned
By this racist institution
The bigots are out there with their weapons too
Yes they're aiming just to gun down our children
So let me tell you this time around
Yes this time around
Yes we're gonna draw yes, this line right now
Draw this line right now
Our common goal is to stand our ground ooh ooh ooh ooh
You've got the city on lock down

[Chorus]
Don't shoot! I've got my hands up
Don't shoot! I've put my hands up
Should I keep my mouth shut?
What do you want from me?
Don't shoot! I've got my hands up
Don't shoot! I've put my hands up
No doubt eh
I'm choking I can't breathe eh?
Should I run away (curfew)

[Verse]
Do I lay dead as a victim?
Another statistic to the system
All kinds of crazy shit runs through my my my mind
Will I live to raise my children?
Cause l'm gonna tell you this time around
Yes this time
What goes around surely comes around Goes and comes around
Is this defiance that's got me bound?
You've got this whole town on lock down

[Chorus]
Don't shoot! I've got my hands up
Don't shoot! I've put my hands up
Should I keep my mouth shut?
What do you want from me?
Don't shoot! I've got my hands up
Don't shoot! I've put my hands up
No doubt
I'm choking I cannot breathe, hey
I'm choking I cannot breathe, hey
I beg you don't taser me
I'm down on my bending knees
Should I run away?

Is it because I'm nappy?
Why you so trigger happy
Is it because I'm nappy?
Why you so trigger happy
Is it because I'm nappy?
Why you so trigger happy yeah

Don't shoot don't shoot don't shoot don't shoot
Don't shoot don't shoot don't shoot don't shoot no
Don't shoot don't shoot don't shoot don't shoot no no
Don't shoot don't shoo shoo shoo shoo don't shoot
Don't shoot no
No no no no no no no no no no no
Don't shoo shoo shoo shoo don't shoot
Don't shoo shoo shoo shoo don't shoot no no
Don't shoo shoo shoo shoo don't shoot
