[Verse 1: Tedashii]
(People— People— People— People—)
People think it's over, but it's far from it (Far from it)
Feel like my only hope would be the Lord's coming (Maranatha)
The world moved on, but we live with trauma (Ayy, ayy)
Lookin' for Wakanda, nothin' like the comics beggin' me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Like Aretha singin' (And I end up)
You can hear 'em scream when the cops take a knee
Man, I can't breathe

[Chorus: Liz Vice]
People dyin' in the streets
There's still blood upon my knees
I can't breathe
Oh, I can't breathe
Takin' back what you stole from me
I want it all, want everything
So I can't breathe
Just so I can breathe

[Verse 2: Tedashii]
You make me wanna scream out loud, but I can't
Protect my child from my pain
The time is now, why wait?
We're breakin' out, woo
Times changin', the gangs think it's main
I ain't gonna chill for the King
Maintain to y'all of a gain
[Chorus: Liz Vice]
People dyin' in the streets
There's still blood upon my knees
I can't breathe
Oh, I can't breathe
Takin' back what you stole from me
I want it all, want everything
So I can't breathe
Just so I can breathe

[Interlude: Martin Luther King, Jr.]
I have a dream
That this nation will rise up
And live out the true meaning of its creed
We hold these truths to be self-evident
That all men are created equal
I have a dream
I have a dream
That one day out in the red hills of Georgia
The sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners
Will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood
I have a dream

[Chorus: Liz Vice]
People dyin' in the streets
There's still blood upon my knees
I can't breathe
Oh, I can't breathe
Takin' back what you stole from me
I want it all, want everything
So I can't breathe
Just so I can breathe
People dyin' in the streets
There's still blood upon my knees
I can't breathe
Oh, I can't breathe
Takin' back what you stole from me
I want it all, want everything
So I can't breathe
Just so I can breathe
