Lemme Breathe Lyrics – Locksmith
Singer: Locksmith
Title: Lemme Breathe
Question the press, question the laws
Question religion, question it all
The blacker the berry, the tigther the noose
That’s not a chip on my shoulder, that’s your boot
Lemme breathe
Lemme breathe
The blacker the berry, the tigther the noose
That’s not a chip on my shoulder, that’s your boot
Lemme breathe
I am a man, I am not property
I understand this ain’t democracy
They wеnt from nooses to knees
We refugees in our own communitiеs
Black bodies swinging from popular trees
Tell Uncle Sam this meritocracy
Is sprinkled in despair, if you spare a moment you’ll spot the leaves
They control through modern slave patrols
Antebellum institiuions passed off as cops, you see
White values, white Jesus
White collar crimes, disseminate and deceive us
Black masculinity literally seems egregious
From negus to n#gg#s on corners cuffed in police trucks
Zip ties exist, why if you resist, die
Even if you don’t they persistently use their fist, sigh
It’s systemic, this sytem is just a pitstop
It’s time to let it all out through hip-hop
Watch
Question the facts, question the laws
Question religion, question it all
The blacker the berry, the tigther the noose
That’s not a chip on my shoulder, that’s your boot
Lemme breathe
Lemme breathe
The blacker the berry, the tigther the noose
That’s not a chip on my shoulder, that’s your boot
Lemme breathe
Let it breathe like the breeze of the slaveship
Overthrow the captain and beat his #ss with the same whip
Navigate this vessel to settle a different colony
While building with the Natives in nature to live in harmony
Instead of viewing facades reverse the tone
Instead of fixing problems abroad, do it at home
Instead of beating n#gg#s for nickles and drawing pistols
Reprimand the army commanders that let it trickle
Down to the projects, down to the pyrex
Pot and all the n#gg#s that cook it, put it in context
We are not the aggressor and the oppressors, know it
Give us the drugs then turn around and arrest you for it
That’s why I reject their institutions
Neglect the ones oppressed and you’ll never find a solution
You won’t find it online in what these kids mock
It’s time to let it all out to hip-hop
Watch
Question the facts, question the laws
Question religion, question it all
The blacker the berry, the tigther the noose
That’s not a chip on my shoulder, that’s your boot
Lemme breathe
Lemme breathe
The blacker the berry, the tigther the noose
That’s not a chip on my shoulder, that’s your boot
Lemme breathe
