Am I Next?

When will you realize you're not doing what you said?
When will you realize you're not following your pledge?

The shoes on your feet
The braids on your head
Don't show you're appreciative
You kill instead

But what does that mean to you?
And what does that mean to us?
We're out of our heads
When we go to bed
Wonderin'

Am I Next?
Will I make it out of bed?
No thoughts, only bullets in my head
Walk home and I don't drop dead
It's not that complex

When will you realize we do not deserve to bleed?
When will you realize we built up this country with the palms of our hands to the soles of our feet?

The clothes on your back
The food on your plate
Don't show you're appreciative
You give us hate

But what does that mean to you?
And what does that mean to us?
We're out of our heads
When we go to bed
Wonderin'

Am I Next? (Next)
Will I make it out of bed?
No thoughts, only bullets in my head
Walk home and I don't drop dead
It's not that complex

"Why do you have your guns out?"
"What are you following me for?"
"Mom, I'm going to college"
"I don't have a gun, stop shooting!"
"It's not real"

I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe

We can't breathe

Am I Next? (Next)
Will I make it out of bed?
No thoughts, only bullets in my head
Walk home and I don't drop dead
It's not that complex

Am I Next? (Next)
(I can't breathe)
Will I make it out of bed?
(I can't breathe)
No thoughts, only bullets in my head
(I can't breathe)
Walk home and I don't drop dead
It's not that complex
