Black Lives Matter Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I can't b[C]reathe
I [G]can't [C]breathe[G]
[D]Ay ya
[C]I can't [D]breathe[G]

[Verse 2]
Yeah [G]This
a revolution in our time
everybody's fighting
Change coming, yes
That's why it's [C]an acronym for [Em]riot
Every[G]body has a voice don't
you dare stay silent
If you say nothing you are an ac
[C]cessory to vi[G]olence
Let these words dry the tears of
my people that are crying
We can bring back hope but not
people that are [C]dy ing
This is what happens when the people
you've oppressed ask for change
In a country that they built but you've
ig[G]nored and deny it
This for Sandra Bland, George Floyd,
and every single family
Police brutality has inter[C]vened
in [D]and destroyed
[G]Couple bad cop couple can't define
all you other boys
So every good cop needs to stand
up and [D]make some noise
[G]Black, white, Asian doesn't matter
'cause we can't avoid
So let's all come together join [D]hands
And yes get annoyed at [Em]people
who believe racism makes sense
In a [C]country built [Em]off minor[G]ity
slave work employed
Nobody's born racist, man,
it's something you learn
Deep rooted in your brain from the
[C]day of your birth
I think it's [G]time that we repair all of these
bridges we've burned
And let love out of our hearts
onto [C]cheeks we turned
Spread [G]love, show love,
lets get rid of this curse
Don't wait for anyone to act,
man, [D]you go first
[Em]400 years wasted,
let's get rid of this hurt
'Cause that's the only way we'll
[G]ever see peace on earth

[Verse 3]
I can't [G]breathe
[C]I can't breathe
[G]Ay [C]ya[G][C]
[G]
[F#dim]I can't b[C]reathe[D][G]

[Verse 4]
[G]Change is what we really need
Cut me open, cut you open,
red's the color every [C]single human [D]beings bleeds
[G]Let's come together cops,
citizens and in between
And rally for the rights
of everybody in hu[D]manity
[G]Black, blue, white, green
Playing for the same the team
I'm not MLK but,
boy, that [D]doesn't mean I can't dream
[C]Black lives [Em]matter shouldn't [C]anger you or
[G]make you scream all lives matter
'Cause we aren't treated equally
Remember when we were kids and
didn't see color
And when we played in kindergarten
and I [C]called [D]you my brother
Then we [G]grew up and they taught
us we should hate on each other
Even though we one in the same and
we all [C]came from our mothers
I hope y'all [G]understand
Hate is not a trait it was learned, man
Equality is the quality we [D]need inside this earth,
man
[Em]Give and receive it's the karma that you earn,
man (stand)
[G]I
