Lyrics
We cannot breathe, we cannot think
We can’t comprehend the weight
Our colonial ghosts dictate the lives of the present
And inform policy
Racial profiling pseudoscience creates a backdrop of inequality
Whilst class divides and legislation prevents social mobility
Inside the violence
At the white hands of the state
Incite the bias
Then distance yourself from the flames
White doctrine of eurocentric heroism
Keeps the curriculum from broadening minds
Feed the whiteness as a source of supremacy
As the ink dries on xenophobic lies
The think tanks in power have their actions refined
The flames to stoke at the camps
Within the borders grows a sense of disparity
Subvert the blame from the banks
I can’t fucking breathe
Whilst the MET shoot and kill one more black man
Kicked in the head whilst laid handcuffed on the ground
Whilst these pigs stop and strip search a child in school
Whilst these pigs stop and strip search these children in schools
History injects its white toxins into the mind
Built with the profits of slavery and genocide, remember their names
Child Q
Chris Kaba
Awaab Ashak
Dea-John Reid
We built this land off the profits of their ancestors lives
We built this land off their ancestors lives
Black lives still matter
Black lives still matter
Black lives still matter
Your life still matters
