Deep within there's a poisoning
In our spirit, in our country
In our neighbors when they see us
Are we here, do we matter
All the blood over centuries
In the name of freedom, God and country
Our protectors when they see us
Are we here, do we matter
I ask this on the daily
I ask this for my babies
Still out there in the maybe
We wanna breathe again
I ask this to our families
Our mothers and our daddies
Still out behaving badly
We wanna breathe again
To our friends shook and shattered
Scared to speak up against the patterns
Oh, so clear when you see us
Are we here, do we matter
I ask this on the daily
I ask this for my babies
Still out there in the maybe
Yes, we wanna breathe again
I ask this to our families
Our mothers and our daddies
Still out behaving badly
We wanna breathe again
We wanna breathe again, yeah
We wanna breathe again
We wanna breathe again
I ask this on the daily
I ask this for my babies
Still out there in the maybe
We wanna breathe again
I ask this to our families
Our mothers and our daddies
Still out behaving badly
We wanna breathe again
