I just wanna hear myself think
So crazy sometimes I'm just scared to blink
My mind be racing stuck in my own head
Am I chasing dreams or chasing bread
Gotta watch my back from my own kind
I'm scared
And these cops to they out here they want me dead
And the man want me to overdose on meds
So don't ask my why I don't feel like getting outta bed
Slippery slope and I am on the sled
Fighting on these streets just for some cred
They looking at me weird because my dreads
Fit the MO so they call the feds
Ptsd from my people dying on the news
The media the devil so I'm hitting snooze
So many nights from crying out/ all the blues
They hate us
We just wanna win and they want us to lose
I'm drowning
I'm downing
I'm downing
Society put money on my head
Just because my skin don't look like theirs
I get it no one said this life was fair
Feel myself getting closer to the ledge
We just out here fighting for some peace
The hate still there they just don't where the sheets
They say we animals and need a leash
Just because we want equality
Missed the stop sign now his gun is to my head
Palms is sweaty voice is shaky scared
I said black Lives Matter now he turning red
Officer please don't shoot my hands is in the air
I can't Breathe I can't breathe
I can't Breathe I can't breathe
I can't Breathe I can't breathe
I can't Breathe I can't breathe
I'm Drowning
I'm Drowning
I'm Drowning
