Don’t Shoot Me ZO, G Honcho & Starside

[Intro: D-Mo]
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

[Chorus: ZO]
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)

[Verse 1: Starside]
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
