I'm laying here in this street.
Screaming out.
Won't you help me?
Mama, help me.
I had plans tonight
to have dinner with my baby girl,
who's at home waiting on a daddy.
Life is the cause to protect the world so cold.
You can take my body,
but you can't kill my soul of a man.
Lives on beyond this world,
beyond this world.
And the heart of a king stays alive
with a story to tell.
Oh, I can't breathe.
No way, this is love.
And now the world's screaming, 'No justice!
No justice!'
If I die tomorrow,
you can take my breath away.
Oh, I still be legendary.
If I die tomorrow,
you can take my breath away.
Oh, I still be legendary.
Tell your mama gotta call the cops, another nigga getting shot.
What if a rapper killed a hip hop cop?
What's your political stance when you got no stance?
And all you do is song and dance.
Black lives will never matter 'til they matter to us.
In God we can't trust with no God in us.
They say pray harder, but then killers with dirty water.
A sad story, hate to explain to my own daughters.
Stand strong, the politics is just is dead wrong.
I'm black and I'm proud, just in case you ran wrong.
Relentless, sent this right where I penned this.
The emphasis is you could tell that I meant this.
In Memphis, kids don't have nothing for breakfast.
And the one they picked for president, a prick from apprentice.
You crazy? Can't you see they trying to kill us off?
In the streets to the corner, gonna peel us off.
I no longer want to ask why.
I can still see Trayvon's mom's cry.
And if it ever comes down to that time,
just remember the last words of Black.
If I die tomorrow,
you can take my breath away.
Oh, I still be legendary.
If I die tomorrow,
you can take my breath away.
Oh, I still be legendary.
If I die tomorrow,
oh, I still be legendary.
Coming to you live in the back of a dirty squad car,
trying to get me to tell where all the Black stars are.
I said, 'Cop look around, we surround y'all.
Everybody magical, even grandma charm y'all.'
Don't you see that's why they hate our cuts?
Don't you see that's why they spray us up?
Don't you see if we just raise up like one, two, three, a hundred million plus?
Everybody ready, the crowd is moving in unison.
See it in their eyes, their minds that I'm influencing.
Governor is nervous, emergency service unison.
Helicopters watching, it's documented on news at ten.
No agenda, no pretenders, Lord defenders, no surrenders.
It's a ticket to freedom, and I'm inviting y'all.
What the fuck you think I'm fighting for?
Honestly, if today is my last day,
as I look at all the things that I can't say.
My will and testament, if I pass away.
All these last words, if you ask me.
If I die tomorrow,
you can take my breath away.
Oh, I still be legendary.
If I die tomorrow,
you can take my breath away.
Oh, I still be legendary.
Protect and serve.
This revolution will be televised.
Get your knee off my neck.
Protect and serve.
This motherfucking revolution will be televised.
Get your knee off my neck.
Protect and serve.
Protect and serve.
Protect and serve.
Protect and serve.
Protect and serve.
Protect and serve.
Protect and serve.
Protect and serve.
