AKtheKING, Yung Siah - Negus Lyrics

Somebody show me where the target on my back at
Why they killing all my brothers like we lab rats
Light-skinned niggas feeling grey 'cause they half black
I gotcha brother, you ain't gotta worry
Listen, black lives matter, you gon' give a fuck
Teach it to the future generation, we not giving up
This for my people, like I'm Joey, I ain't bad yet
It's, "Fuck 12," 'til I'm resting in my casket
You cannot silence the prodigy
Nigga, this was the prophecy
Screaming, "Fuck your apology," 'cause it's more than that
I've been labeled a wannabe 'cause I'm rapping so consciously
And I'm lacking in modesty like a quarterback
People in my life, yeah they only just a couple
You don't understand that we been through the struggle
Fuck a silver spoon, yeah we came upon the hustle
AKtheKING, I'm a piece to the puzzle
Let me say it now
Mama, help me 'cause I can't breathe, don't let them take my soul
Mama, help me 'cause I can't breathe, don't let them take my soul

Mama, help me 'cause I can't breathe, don't let them take my soul
Mama, help me 'cause I can't breathe, don't let them take my soul
Uh, yeah
Don't let 'em take me
Yeah, look

Because we wanna be free
And we balling up our fists 'cause we know Martin had a dream
Had us picking up that Cotton, body's hanging from the trees
All we ever had was hope, we pray to God that we believe
Had to break off all the chains 'cause we ain't never get a key
Left and right we getting shot
And we praying that it stops
We supposed to be protected, but we scared to call the ops
Need to pass on what was taught
And the issues that was fought
Because they try and take realty and put it in a box
This for Trevon and Martin
Them bullets was darting
Now life ain't an option
Cuz he was tryna get some candy or something
But I guess it was cool
Nah the cops wasn't fronting
Because the case got dragged and they ain't charge him with nothing
'Lot of these cops, they get to shooting and they try and play the victim
But they ain't really worried, 'cause they covered by the system
They know I'm speaking facts, and yeah they know I'm speaking wisdom
They take the power that they have and try and hide it in a pistol, look
'Cause you a threat when you an educated black man
That's why them people gon' see me in a cap man
Because it's different when you speak, and when you acting
I'm gon' fight until it's right and that's a fact man
I'm steady running all my brothers on the track man
It ain't no joking, we don't got no time for laughing
I'm feeling confident, I smile in my black skin
Yeah
But I still can't breathe
I still can't breathe
