Don't Shoot Me by Zoé
Lyrics & Translation
English
[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
[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)
[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
[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)
[DoughBoy G:]
I'm screaming don't shoot me (Don't shoot)
Opps out here killin', man, this ain't no move (This ain't no movie)
These niggas is goofy (They goofy)
Just 'cause I'm black, they gon' try to remove me (Remove me)
Cop clutchin' a tooly (He clutchin')
Bitch, go toe-to-toe and get hit with this two-piece
Fuck 12, you a bully (Bully)
Pickin' us off one by one, this shit cruelty
How we supposed to stay calm when they treat us like target practice? We don't know how to act
Racist police been doin' this shit, they pull us over just to see if we black
Can't run a stop sign without havin' an opp hop out and point the nine in my back
I'm just tryna survive, my nigga, in the streets of hell with some demons, get back
[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)
[D-Mo:]
The longer the black community is not treated with equality and justice continues to not be served
These riots and violent acts will maintain throughout our present and future
We need justice, we need peace, we need equality
We need help
Black lives matter
Enough is enough
The time is now
And I can't breathe
[Zo:]
Don't shoot me
Officer
I got a baby girl
I cannot breathe

Don't Shoot Me (traducción LyricVerse Team)
[D-Mo:]
Este país debe entender
Las razones de estos disturbios
La comunidad negra se encuentra en situaciones constantes
Intentando protegernos de un sistema no creado para fomentar nuestro desarrollo
Como dijo una vez el Dr. Martin Luther King, un disturbio es el lenguaje de los que no son escuchados
Y ya no nos mantendrán en silencio
[Zo:]
No me dispares (No me dispares)
Oficial, no me dispares (No me dispares)
Prometo que tengo una familia (Una niña)
Y quítate de mi cuello por favor (No puedo respirar)
No me dispares (No me dispares)
Oficial, no me dispares (Oficial)
Prometo que tengo una familia (Tengo una niña)
Y quítate de mi cuello por favor (No puedo respirar)
[Starside:]
Ella no puede respirar, él no puede respirar, no, no podemos respirar
Dices que pare la violencia, ¿por qué crees que estamos en estas calles?
Dices que paren los disturbios, pero no escuchas nuestras necesidades
En cambio, ustedes se arrodillan y luego proceden a la parte de atrás de nuestros cuellos
Demasiados de mis hermanos y hermanas están muertos y ahora vivimos a través de ellos
Tomando una postura, no, no, no, no lo volveremos a escuchar
Que se joda el sistema, que se joda el mundo en que vivimos, ¿cómo están matando?
Intentando pintarnos como villanos, reza por los niños arreglados, no me dispares
[Zo:]
No me dispares (No me dispares)
Oficial, no me dispares (No me dispares)
Prometo que tengo una familia (Una niña)
Y quítate de mi cuello por favor (No puedo respirar)
No me dispares (No me dispares)
Oficial, no me dispares (Oficial)
Prometo que tengo una familia (Tengo una niña)
Y quítate de mi cuello por favor (No puedo respirar)
[DoughBoy G:]
Estoy gritando no me dispares (No dispares)
Los enemigos están matando, hombre, esto no es una película (Esto no es una película)
Estos tipos son tontos (Son tontos)
Solo porque soy negro, van a intentar eliminarme (Eliminarme)
El policía agarrando un arma (Él está agarrando)
Perra, ve cara a cara y recibe este par de golpes
Que se joda la policía, eres un matón (Matón)
Eliminándonos uno por uno, esta mierda es crueldad
¿Cómo se supone que vamos a mantener la calma cuando nos tratan como práctica de tiro? No sabemos cómo actuar
La policía racista ha estado haciendo esta mierda, nos detienen solo para ver si somos negros
No puedo pasar un alto sin que un enemigo salte y me apunte con la nueve en la espalda
Solo estoy tratando de sobrevivir, mi hermano, en las calles del infierno con algunos demonios, retrocede
[Zo:]
No me dispares (No me dispares)
Oficial, no me dispares (No me dispares)
Prometo que tengo una familia (Una niña)
Y quítate de mi cuello por favor (No puedo respirar)
No me dispares (No me dispares)
Oficial, no me dispares (Oficial)
Prometo que tengo una familia (Tengo una niña)
Y quítate de mi cuello por favor (No puedo respirar)
[D-Mo:]
Cuanto más tiempo la comunidad negra no sea tratada con igualdad y la justicia siga sin ser servida
Estos disturbios y actos violentos se mantendrán a lo largo de nuestro presente y futuro
Necesitamos justicia, necesitamos paz, necesitamos igualdad
Necesitamos ayuda
Las vidas negras importan
Basta ya
El momento es ahora
Y no puedo respirar
[Zo:]
No me dispares
Oficial
Tengo una niña
No puedo respirar
