Juicy J - Breathe lyrics

rate me

Ft. GOD

(Hook)

They don't wanna see us up

They just wanna lock us all down

And we tell 'em let us go

But they just wanna see us on our knees

We just tryna get some money, let us breathe

Let us breathe, let us breathe

Just tryna feed our families, let us breathe

Let us breathe, let us breathe

(Verse)

They gunnin' niggas down in the street

People scared to call the police, so they coppin' up some heat

We ain't scared to go to jail, we ain't hidin' from police

They don't give a fuck about us, droppin' bodies on TV

Black men on all, shot down in his black Jordan 1's

They got the shit on tape, they go to trial, they won

We can catch a break, I pray to God and my choppa

Just to keep some faith, I pray the angels is watchin'

I feel like we the target, and who the hell is safe?

When the neighborhood watchin', hopin' I'll take the shot

Niggas caught with the work, they get 40 years

Cops killin' left and right, they get no years

(Hook)

(Verse 2: GOD)

I just been tryna get paid

I'm tryna find different ways

We ain't been able to breathe

Since back in the day when we was all slaves

I used to answer to maths

Now I want all of my maps

I'm bout to take em to church

When you get this verse, you gon' think I'm a pastor

Revelation of the revolution

They can't hold us with a prosecution

I been rollin' niggas in my institution

I'm the school of mall on a new solution

If they haters, then let 'em hate

Cuz they gon' hate on us anyway

They wanna lock us in the penitent

And when they let us out we gon' penetrate

Pay attention, lemme demonstrate

Police hop out, gun in my face

Hands up, I ain't got it on me

I have it on me any other day

But I had a bag of loud on me

The shit I had from the otha day

I took off and tried to run

He shot me in my back tryna get away

(Hook)

(Verse 3: Juicy J)

I got a lotta people I'll ride for

People I'd die for, real niggas neva change

After all the pain in the game

I done lost so many niggas, I forgot who I cried for

Damn shame, change, niggas ain't change

Everywhere in the world, the hood is the same

Racist police, niggas killin' niggas

Drug wars makin' millions, hustle to survive

We don't know no difference

Imagine bein' us, out here, no-one to trust

Every time I hear the news, anotha nigga in the dust

Prosecutors work to keep us all on their bus

All in their jams, till somebody turn their witness

And fuck up the game
