Don't Shoot - Steel Pulse

I’m choking and can’t breathe breathe breathe

Eh!

Should I run away should I run away?

Should I run away, oh yeah eh!

I say don’t get disillusioned

By this racist institution

The bigots are out there with their weapons too

Yes they’re aiming just to gun down our children

So let me tell you this time around

Yes this time around

Yes we’re gonna draw yes, this line right now

Draw this line right now

Our common goal is to stand our ground ooh ooh ooh ooh

You’ve got the city on lock down

Don’t shoot!

I’ve got my hands up

Don’t shoot!

I’ve put my hands up

Should I keep my mouth shut?

What do you want from me?

Don’t shoot!

I’ve got my hands up

Don’t shoot!

I’ve put my hands up

No doubt eh

I’m choking I can’t breathe eh?

Should I run away (curfew)

Do I lay dead as a victim?

Another statistic to the system

All kinds of crazy shit runs through my my my mind

Will I live to raise my children?

Cause l’m gonna tell you this time around

Yes this time

What goes around surely comes around

Goes and comes around

Is this defiance that’s got me bound?

You’ve got this whole town on lock down

Don’t shoot!

I’ve got my hands up

Don’t shoot!

I’ve put my hands up

Should I keep my mouth shut?

What do you want from me?

Don’t shoot!

I’ve got my hands up

Don’t shoot!

I’ve put my hands up

No doubt

I’m choking I cannot breathe, hey

I beg you don’t taser me

I’m down on my bending knees

Should I run away?

Is it because I’m nappy?

Why you so trigger happy
