Don't Shoot Me - Zo, G Honcho, Starside

This country must understand

The reasons of these riots

The black community is placed in consistent situations

Attempting to protect ourselves from a system not created in furthering our

development

Like Dr. Martin Luther King once said, a riot is the language of the unheard

And we will no longer be kept silent

Don’t shoot me (Don't shoot me)

Officer, don’t shoot me (Don't shoot me)

I promise I got a family (A baby girl)

And stay up off my neck please (I cannot breathe)

Don’t shoot me (Don't shoot me)

Officer, don’t shoot me (Officer)

I promise I got a family (I got a baby girl)

And stay up off my neck please (I cannot breathe)

She can’t breathe, he can’t breathe, no, we can’t breathe

You say stop the violence, why you think we in these streets?

You say stop the riots, but don’t listen to our needs

Instead y’all take y’all knee and then proceed to the back of our necks

Too many my brothers and sisters is dead and now we livin' through them

Taking a stand, no, no, no, won’t hear it again

Fuck the system, fuck the world we live in, how y’all killing?

Tryna paint us out as villains, pray for children fixed up, don’t shoot me

Don’t shoot me (Don't shoot me)

Officer, don’t shoot me (Don't shoot me)

I promise I got a family (A baby girl)

And stay up off my neck please (I cannot breathe)

Don’t shoot me (Don't shoot me)

Officer, don’t shoot me (Officer)

I promise I got a family (I got a baby girl)

And stay up off my neck please (I cannot breathe)

I’m screaming don’t shoot me (Don't shoot)

Opps out here killin', man, this ain’t no move (This ain’t no movie)

These niggas is goofy (They goofy)

Just 'cause I’m black, they gon' try to remove me (Remove me)

Cop clutchin' a tooly (He clutchin')

Bitch, go toe-to-toe and get hit with this two-piece

Fuck 12, you a bully (Bully)

Pickin' us off one by one, this shit cruelty

How we supposed to stay calm when they treat us like target practice?

We don’t know how to act

Racist police been doin' this shit, they pull us over just to see if we black

Can’t run a stop sign without havin' an opp hop out and point the nine in my

back

I’m just tryna survive, my nigga, in the streets of hell with some demons,

get back

Don’t shoot me (Don't shoot me)

Officer, don’t shoot me (Don't shoot me)

I promise I got a family (A baby girl)

And stay up off my neck please (I cannot breathe)

Don’t shoot me (Don't shoot me)

Officer, don’t shoot me (Officer)

I promise I got a family (I got a baby girl)

And stay up off my neck please (I cannot breathe)

The longer the black community is not treated with equality and justice

continues to not be served

These riots and violent acts will maintain throughout our present and future

We need justice, we need peace, we need equality

We need help

Black lives matter

Enough is enough

The time is now

And I can’t breathe

Don’t shoot me

Officer

I got a baby girl

I cannot breathe
