lemme breathe lyrics
[intro]
decap

[chorus]
question the press, question the laws (laws)
question religion, question it all (all)
the blacker the berry, the tighter the noose
that’s not a chip on my shoulder, that’s your boot
lemme breathe (boo boo boo boo)
lemme breathe
the blacker the berry, the tighter the noose
that’s not a chip on my shoulder, that’s your boot
lemme breathe

[verse 1]
i am a man, i am not property (yeah)
i understand this ain’t dеmocracy (yeah)
they went from noosеs to knees, we refugees in our own communities
black bodies swinging from poplar trees (d+mn)
tell uncle sam this meritocracy
is sprinkled in despair, if you spare a moment you’ll spot the leaves
(watch)
they control through modern slave patrols
antebellum institutions passed off as cops you see (yeah)
white values (what?), white jesus
white collar crimes, disseminate and deceive us
black masculinity literally seems egregious
from negus to n+ggas on corners cuffed in police trucks (uh)
zip ties exist, why if you resist, die
even if you don’t they persistently use their fist, sigh (what?)
it’s systemic, this system is just a pitstop
it’s time to let it all out through hip+hop
watch
[chorus]
question the facts, question the laws (laws)
question religion, question it all (all)
the blacker the berry, the tighter the noose
that’s not a chip on my shoulder, that’s your boot
lemme breathe (boo boo boo boo)
lemme breathe
the blacker the berry, the tighter the noose
that’s not a chip on my shoulder, that’s your boot
lemme breathe

[verse 2]
let it breathe like the breeze of the slave ship
overthrow the captain and beat his ass with the same whip (yeah)
navigate this vessel to settle a different colony
while building with the natives in nature to live in harmony (yeah)
instead of viewing facades, reverse the tone (yeah)
instead of fixing problems abroad, do it at home (home)
instead of beating n+ggas for nickels and drawing pistols (what?)
reprimand the army commanders that let it trickle
down to the projects, down to the pyrex
pot and all the n+ggas that cook it, put it in context (yeah)
we are not the aggressor and the oppressors know it
give us the drugs then turn around and arrest you for it (what the f+ck?)
that’s why i reject their institutions
neglect the ones oppressed and you’ll never find a solution (yeah)
you won’t find it online in what these kids mock
it’s time to let it all out to through hip+hop (boo boo boo boo)
watch
[chorus]
question the facts, question the laws (laws)
question religion, question it all (all)
the blacker the berry, the tighter the noose
that’s not a chip on my shoulder, that’s your boot
lemme breathe (boo boo boo boo)
lemme breathe
the blacker the berry, the tighter the noose
that’s not a chip on my shoulder, that’s your boot
lemme breathe (boo boo boo boo)
lemme breathe
lemme breathe (breathe..)
