Cm Gm7 Cm7 Gm7 Oh, oh, oh Cm7 Gm7 Oh, oh, oh Fm7 Oh, oh, oh Nah
[Verse 1]
Cm Gm7 Cm7 Starting a war, screaming "Peace" at the same time Gm7 Cm All the corruption, injustice, the same crimes Gm7 Fm7 Always a problem if we do or don't fight Cm And we die, we don't have the same right Gm7 Cm What is a gun to a man that surrenders? Gm7 Cm What's it gonna take for someone to defend her? Gm7 Fm7 If we all agree that we're equal as people Then why can't we see what is evil?
[Chorus]
Cm Gm7 I can't breathe Cm Gm7 Cm You're taking my life from me Gm7 I can't breathe Fm7 Cm Will anyone fight for me?
[Post-Chorus]
Gm7 Cm7 Oh, oh, oh Gm7 Cm7 Oh, oh, oh Gm7 Fm7 Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Cm Gm7 Cm7 How do we cope when we don't love each other? Gm7 Cm Where is the hope and the empathy? (Yeah) Gm7 How do we judge off the color? Fm7 Cm The structure was made to make us the enemy (Yeah) Gm7 Cm Prayin' for change 'cause the pain makes you tender Gm7 Cm All of the names you refuse to remember Gm7 Was somebody's brother, friend Fm7 Cm Or a son to a mother that's crying, singing
[Chorus]
Gm7 I can't breathe Cm Gm7 Cm You're taking my life from me Gm7 I can't breathe Fm7 Cm Will anyone fight for me? (Yeah)
[Post-Chorus]
Gm7 Cm7 Oh, oh, oh Gm7 Cm7 Oh, oh, oh Gm7 Fm7 Oh, oh, oh Cm Will anyone fight for me? Gm7 Cm7 Oh, oh, oh Gm7 Cm7 Oh, oh, oh Gm Fm7 Oh, oh, oh (For me)
[Verse 3]
Cm Gm7 Trying times all the time Cm Gm Destruction of minds, bodies, and human rights Cm7 Stripped of bloodlines, whipped and confined Gm7 This is the American pride Fm It's justifying a genocide Cm Romanticizing the theft and bloodshed Gm7 Cm7 That made America the land of the free Gm7 To take a black life, land of the free Cm7 Gm7 To bring a gun to a peaceful fight for civil rights Fm You are desensitized to pulling triggers on innocent lives Cm Gm7 Because that's how we got here in the first place Cm7 These wounds sink deeper than the bullet Gm7 Cm7 Your entitled hands could ever reach Gm7 Fm7 Generations and generations of pain, fear, and anxiety Cm Equality is walking without intuition Gm7 Cm7 Saying the protector and the killer is wearing the same uniform Gm7 Cm7 The revolution is not televised Gm7 Fm7 Media perception is forced down the throats of closed minds So it's lies in the headlines Cm Gm7 And generations of supremacy resulting in your ignorant, Cm7 privileged eyes Gm7 Cm7 We breathe the same and we bleed the same Gm7 But still, we don't see the same Fm7 Be thankful we are God-fearing Cm Because we do not seek revenge Gm7 We seek justice, we are past fear Cm Gm7 We are fed up eating your shit Cm7 Because you think your so-called "black friend" Gm Fm7 Validates your wokeness and erases your racism Cm That kind of uncomfortable conversation is too hard Gm7 for your trust-fund pockets to swallow Cm7 Gm7 To swallow the strange fruit hanging from my family tree Cm Gm7 Because of your audacity Fm7 To say all men are created equal in the eyes of God Cm Gm7 But disparage a man based on the color of his skin Cm7 Do not say you do not see color Gm7 Cm7 When you see us, see us Gm7 Cm7 We can't breathe
[Outro]
