    This Man has got something to say. Mick Jenkins said he grew up listening to neo soul. At 25 he was saying some of his hip hop influences were 9th Wonder, Phonte who are part of one of the most underrated hip hop groups Little Brother. Mick Jenkins I love your music brother. People say hip hop is dead, but if you have good taste in music you will always connect with great artists, no matter what “most people” are saying about hip hop. If you’re looking for trash you can always find it, but if you dig a little bit more, you will always find gems like this one!!

    When people say things like "Hip Hop is dead," I think of people like Kendrick, Cole, Mick Jenkins, Big Krit, Joey Badass, Joyner Lucas, Nick Grant, Vince Staples, Earl Sweatshirt, Logic, Raury, Chance, Childish Gambino, Hopsin, Blu, Jay Electron, Bas, Cozz, and it's like wtf are they talking about? Hip Hop is NOT dead, they're just relying on the media too much. Look for yourselves and find the great artists. This video and song is GOLD by the way.

    That last image with the two white men floating away gave me chills with the contrast of how the video started with Mick being dragged away.

    Won't we need the litigation
    All we ask is ventilation
    I can't breathe, I can't breathe
    I can't breathe, I can't breathe
    [Hook]
    When the real hold you down, you supposed to drown right? When the real hold you down, you supposed to drown right?
    Wait, wait, that don't sound right
    Just wait, one second, that don't sound right
    When the real hold you down, you supposed to drown right?
    When the real hold you down, you supposed to drown right?
    Wait, wait, that don't sound right
    Just wait, one second, that don't (sound right)...
    [Verse 1]
    I was high and I was startin' to lose focus
    Then I stumbled in the water, I was trippin', I was chokin'
    Saying, I can't breathe
    Yeah, I can't breathe
    Started floatin' way out in the open
    'fore I knew it I was driftin' in the middle of the ocean
    Saying, I can't breathe
    Yeah, I can't breathe
    Started wailin', started flailin'
    I was splashing, waves crashing all around me
    Felt the passion of the water
    Saying, I can't breathe
    Yeah, I can't breathe
    [Hook]
    When the real hold you down, you supposed to drown right? When the real hold you down, you supposed to drown right?
    Wait, wait, that don't sound right
    Just wait, one second, that don't sound right
    When the real hold you down, you supposed to drown right?
    When the real hold you down, you supposed to drown right?
    Wait, that don't sound right
    Just wait, one second, that don't sound right
    [Verse 2]
    Dial tone on my hotline, it don't bling much
    Sing songs like Tubman
    Young Steven Morris, I ain't seen much
    Just a couple motherfuckers tryna rape the culture
    Tell the vultures I don't need lunch
    It's like morse code
    Gotta be in touch to communicate it to the people
    Love heals all
    Best get your immunization, that THC
    So we smoking in here like we fumigating
    For the fuckboys too much truth in me
    I don't trust niggas
    I ain't preaching at you
    I don't touch boys
    Brought the baggage with me
    Like a bus boy I don't need tips
    You could see mines
    Rap Genius, you could read mines
    In between lines
    Yeah they act genius but the way society is set up
    Almost like they read minds
    You heard Alchemy, boy I'm Magneto
    They can't read mines
    Niggas bark loud
    Talkin' revolution, when the waves come they turn feline
    I been turnin' tricks
    In the coldest part of the deepest water like a sealion, you could see why
    [Refrain]
    We gon' need some drugs for the situation
    Shout out to my plug, its a lituation
    Won't we need the litigation
    All we ask is ventilation
    I can't breathe, I can't breathe
    I can't breathe, I can't breathe
    [Hook]
    When the real hold you down, you supposed to drown right? When the real hold you down, you supposed to drown right?
    Wait, wait, that don't sound right
    Just wait one second, that don't sound right
    [Bridge]
    When the real, hold you down, you supposed to drown
    When the real, ohh hold you down, you supposed to drown
    When the real hold you down, you supposed to drown
    When the real hold you down, you supposed to drown
    I can't breathe I can't breathe no no no no no no no no no no no no auwwwww!
    I was high and I was startin' to lose focus
    Then I stumbled in the water, I was trippin', I was chokin'
    Saying, I can't breathe
    Yeah, I can't breathe (I can't breathe with this muhfuckin' flag round my neck)
    Started floatin' way out in the open
    'fore I knew it I was driftin' in the middle of the ocean
    Saying, I can't breathe (I can't breathe with this muhfuckin' flag round my neck), Yeah, I can't breathe
    Started wailin', started flailin'
    I was splashing, waves crashing all around me
    Felt the passion of the water
    Saying, I can't breathe (I can't, I can't, I can't breathe with this muhfuckin' flag round my neck)
    Yeah, I can't breathe
    [Outro]
    We gon' need some drugs for the situation
    Shout out to my plug, its a lituation
    Won't we need the litigation
    All we ask is ventilation
    We gon' need some drugs(love) for the situation
    Shout out to my plug, its a lituation
    Won't we need the litigation
    All we ask is ventilation
    I can't breathe, I can't breathe
    I can't breathe, I can't breathe
