Dizzy Wright Police Can’t See Me Alive

The recent uprising across the United States has brought a major awareness to the injustices going on across the country. Black Americans have been fighting for equality for a long time but it feels like the recent deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and more have put a spotlight on the systemic oppression in place.

Though many artists have found ways to either raise funds, awareness or both, many have also been inspired by the recent protests. Dizzy Wright came through with a bouncy new single that he self-produced titled, “Police Can’t See Me Alive.” From his perspective and experiences, Dizzy details the common injustices he and his community have faced over the years, especially when it comes to the police. “I can’t breathe/ Officer please, lift up your knee,” he starts his first verse in reference to Floyd’s murder.

Lyrics

[Intro]
I watch but I can’t believe my eyes
(Damn, bruh)
Swear that I can’t take no more

[Chorus]
We ain’t free outside if the police can’t see me alive
I watch but I can’t believe my eyes
(Feel like I can’t take this shit no more)
We ain’t free outside if the police got that deep inside
I watch but I can’t believe my eyes
(I can’t take this shit no more)
We ain’t free outside if the police can’t see me alive
We ain’t free outside if the police can’t see me alive
We ain’t free outside if the police can’t see me alive
I watch but I can’t believe my eyes
(Feel like I can’t take no more)

[Verse 1]
I can’t breathe, officer please lift up your knee
Handcuffs on, not resisting arrest ’cause I wanna go home
I’ve been wearing a mask, I’m African American, no I can’t get a pass
All you see is my tattoos, in your mind you’re telling yourself that I’m bad news
And it’s slammed my face right in front of the fam
Got the homies all caught in a jam
I just wish he saw me as a man
I don’t even got a weapon on me
Then three more cops start stepping on me
Please don’t let me die today
I’m pleading out my testimony
Thank God they recorded it all
Look how they using their badges in public
Everybody can see the injustice
Racist cops think they’re over the law
We all watched this American lynching
They know that man needed medical attention
Everyone that’s involved is complicint
You not helping me live, what’s the difference?
Oh, this what you’re trained to do
Let’s clean up the system with private investigations
Come on, look how they painting you
Imagine what a little change’ll do
The revolution will be televised
When you see the looting, that’s what anger do
Peaceful protest was exercised
But the younger generation’s sick of this shit
And I’ll be the one to tell you why

[Chorus]
We ain’t free outside if the police can’t see me alive
I watch but I can’t believe my eyes
(Feel like I can’t take this shit no more)
We ain’t free outside if the police got that deep inside
I watch but I can’t believe my eyes
(I can’t take this shit no more)
We ain’t free outside if the police can’t see me alive
We ain’t free outside if the police can’t see me alive
We ain’t free outside if the police can’t see me alive
I watch but I can’t believe my eyes
(Feel like I can’t take no more)

[Verse 2]
Still can’t believe my eyes, I don’t know what this symbolize
But they got me energize to help end this genocide
Doing this for black wall street
Doing this for all the stolen land
November we at the post again
Still taking a loss when we win
They playing a game called pretend
My [?] is kill or be killed
Don’t trip, we came with demands
We need police reform bills
Change that, my kids is gon’ feel
Can’t wait, we tired of holding back
Your life should matter when you black
So we protest across the map
We doing some good things and some bad things
But don’t fall for the trap
We don’t know when it’s gonna end
Don’t know what kind of training they was in
They using unnecessary force
But you didn’t see that in the report
They send us off in a hearse
Then they go home and watch sports
Grew up and learned the hard way this country full of shit, ain’t no justice for all
Everyday they made us say the Pledge of Allegiance, I always could point out the flaws
The president said “Make America Great Again” like we didn’t have to evolve
Now I’m looking the government dead in the face like we got some problems we should solve

[Chorus]
We ain’t free outside if the police can’t see me alive
I watch but I can’t believe my eyes
(Feel like I can’t take this shit no more)
We ain’t free outside if the police got that deep inside
I watch but I can’t believe my eyes
(I can’t take this shit no more)
We ain’t free outside if the police can’t see me alive
We ain’t free outside if the police can’t see me alive
We ain’t free outside if the police can’t see me alive
I watch but I can’t believe my eyes
(Feel like I can’t take no more)
